    Default Overland 747-400 - missing radio stack

    Hi, I've had major success converting my Overland and CLS aircraft. Only thing I've run across is the missing radio stack gauge in the Overland 747-400. I've gone over the instructions for the conversion 3 times and everything is there except for this and of course, it's vital. Help?

    Myself and others who haven't done whatever conversion you are working on will need a lot more info!
    Is this an update from FS9 to FSX? Panel Merge? Panel update?
    What have you done so far?
    Is the Radio gauge(s) called for in panel.cfg gaugexx= line in the folder or cab denoted before the "!"? A little more project background please...Don

    Oh sorry. I'm referring to the manual that was posted by Dave Nunez on how to convert Overland aircraft to work in FSX. Here is the excerpt which outlines the panel conversion. It does look like the COM and NAV is called for.

    Panel.cfg changes:

    Copy the files Boeing747-400.cab, PAP737NG.CAB, PAP744_W.CAB, PAP767_W.CAB and PAP777_W.CAB from your fs9/gauges folder into the panel folder.

    In the [Vcockpit01] section, replace all the gaugeXX sections with this:

    gauge00=Boeing747-400!Primary Flight Display, 0,0,265,270
    gauge01=Boeing747-400!Multi-Function Display, 256,0,260,270
    gauge02=PAP744_W!EICAS Display_01, 9,244,253,278
    gauge03=PAP744_W!EICAS Display_02, 276,244,285,278

    In the [Vcockpit02] section, replace the entire gagueXX section with this:

    gauge00=PAP744_W!Autopilot IAS-Mach Switch, 3,80,67,70
    gauge01=PAP744_W!Autopilot Speed Switch, 3,156,67,70
    gauge02=PAP744_W!Autopilot Nav Switch, 74,4,67,70
    gauge03=PAP744_W!Autopilot Hdg Switch, 154,156,67,70
    gauge04=PAP744_W!Autopilot VS Switch, 233,156,67,70
    gauge05=PAP744_W!Autopilot Altitude Hold Switch, 316,155,67,70

    There is no "boeing777-300" refered to cab, folder, or other listed above.
    That folder/cab/.gau/.dll will have to be in either the panel folder or FSX Gauges...Don

    There is a "PAP777_W.cab in the panel folder but there may be another 777 CAB. I'll look. thank you!

    There is only the one PAP777_W.cab and I have that in the panel folder. Maybe the code is wrong?

    You need to find "boeing777-300" it may be a .cab, a .gau, a .dll, or a folder. It contains the gauges themselves. Once found, it should be placed in either the panel folder of the target aircraft, or FSX/Gauges...Don

    boeing777-300.gau is/was a default gauge in FS9. If you don't find it, there are sure enough equivalents found in FSX.
    It's only a radio stack after all.

    Yes! I found it! it was the 777-300.gau hiding in the fs9 gauges folder. That wasn't very evident in the instructions but considering all the work Mr. Nunez put in, I can hardly fault him. I now have my radio stack and we're good. thanks very much
