Cal Classic Super Connie Installation Problem

Hello

 

Just tried installing Cal Classic's Super Constellation, which I love; everything works fine, except that the VC cockpit panels all have empty gauges :confused:

 

Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong and how to sort it out?

 

Thanks a lot

Which one was your download? Did it include a gauges folder that need to be installed to your Sim/Gauges folder?

Hi

 

I downloaded the main files, panel and effects (for FS2004) via the Cal Classic website. The gauges folder seems only to have 'squeaking brakes' in it :confused:

And your Sim is FS2004 "A Century of Flight"?

Yes it is - sorry, should have mentioned that

Yes it is - sorry, should have mentioned that

 

Kinda figured that. It won't do any good for me to try that aircraft (I use FSX). You might try re-posting in the FS2004 Forum and give the exact file from CalClassics that you used.

Ok thanks - I'll do that

I just tried that aircraft and panel. It is the same for me. That vconpanel addition is a "glorified" 2D panel and it will kill all gauges in the VC. Sorry, that's how it is if you want to use it.

 

I fixed mine in FSX by adding the complete [VCockpit] info from my working Supperconnie panel.cfg. If your original panel.cfg has that info, try copying it to the new panel.cfg.

 

Your complete panel.cfg should now look like this:
