FSX RV-9A Complete

From J Dwayne Redding-- If you were one of those who downloaded the FSX new Textures and New Panel on 24 Dec 2020, I want to make up for a terrible upload and the only way I am able to do that is to offer you a customized single color texture with plane ID. There were 45 downloads when I wrote my first comment about my error and now that upload has been deleted from flightsim.com and I will refrain from any future uploads. Please do not let my error reflect badly on flightsim.com. They have been fantastic!

I will watch for comments here for the next several weeks and I need your email to send you any files. I can say this upload works as intended. wbredsail@yahoo.com

FSX modified FS2004 RV-9A panel.new\ panel.cfg comment

I was made aware that my new panel for RV-9A did not have a RPM gauge. I was trying to make my sim panel match a photo of a real RV-9A. I would think the plane has a RPM gauge but it is not seen in the photo.

I also noticed that I did not use 19 in my list of gauges. Please edit the panel.cfg as follows using the new locations. Using windows10 you may need to remove panel.cfg from its folder, edit the file, and do not forget to return the file to its proper folder.

gauge19 was skipped previously

gauge19=Cessna172!Clock, 55, 385,70,70

gauge30=Cessna172!Clock,

gauge30=CESSNA_172.RPM, 150, 350,90, 90

gauge39=Beech_Baron!OMI Lights,

gauge39=Beech_Baron!OMI Lights, 605, 355, 25, 50

gauge40=Beech_Baron!DME,

gauge40=Beech_Baron!DME,718, 306, 60, 35

If you like 2D panel this is a fun plane. All comments are welcome.

If you are a person who makes tweaks to improve a plane, please share those suggestions for this plane.

Recently I noticed that the fuel gauges on the new panel were barely visible at night unless the panel lights were ON so I have changed the 2 fuel gauges. Be sure to check the numbers because I often have changed gauge numbers.

gauge37=MT_FS_Texan!Fuel Qty Left, 7, 470, 70,70

gauge38=MT_FS_Texan!Fuel Qty Right, 80, 470, 70, 70

Also the real RV-9A is freewheeling nose wheel but if you want to make it steerable use the following edits for the aircraft.cfg. Remove the // from one line and put them at the beginning of the other line.

//point.0 = 1, 3.43, 0.00, -3.80, 1500, 0, 0.45, 36.3, 0.1, 2.5, 0.7, 0.0, 0.0, 0 // 36.3 = steerable

point.0 = 1, 3.43, 0.00, -3.90, 3500, 0, 0.45, 180.0, 0.1, 2.5, 0.7, 0.0, 0.0, 0 //180.0 = freewheeling
