johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I install Posky 737-800 (Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com) but don't want to use the default 737-800 panels. With the installation there was a sub dir created under FSX/Flight Simulator 9 there i find sub dir of Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft/PSPanels/Panel/PS737NG/Panel ( I install the PS Panel via setup.exe which is included) Flight Simulator 9/Gauges/PS737NG/ (no cab file but bmp's and xml files under sub dir PS737NG) and this what I would like to use. I made a back up of the Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com panel and named it Panel.Bak and copy the the PS737NG Panel to Aircraft Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com But now there is no gauges in the panel (VC and 2d panels). How will I get this to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULCRAIG Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I have uploaded quite a few complete Posky 737's to the library here & most have the default B738 VC. Do a search for "Paul Craig Project Open Sky B737" & are easy to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I am busy downloading one of your packages. The 2d panel of PSPanels in functional. I do not use VC as I have multiple monitors and do not use VC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Where I put this as there is no Texture in the download "ADDING NEW TEXTURES FOLDERS =================== When adding new texture folders,place a copy of the texture.cfg file into the new texture folder,if you dont,the VC will not work with the new textures."

johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I installed the SAS Scandinavian Airlines Boeing 737-683 and follow instruction but no SAS Scandinavian Airlines Boeing 737-683 in Aircraft hanger My fault misplaced the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 The 2d panel is the same as any default 737. The PSPanel 2d panel is working as all the knobs can be operated. But I can't get the gauges to be visibale only empty black holes in VC an 2d panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Sorry for not be more clearer. English is not my first language so here it goes. I install Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com from Rikoooo's web site at link http://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/55/745. After installer finished with the installation I went to airplanes in FSX/Simobjects and open Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com just to see if all files are there. Under Posky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com I saw a text file named Install.txt and Posky 737-800.txt - Please see attachments and quotes Project Opensky Boeing 737-800 Jet2.com for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 ACOF Author: Mathieu Vos e-mail repainter: Mathieu.Vos@upcmail.nl Site : http://members.chello.nl/j.mast50/ ------------- Background ------------- This is the Boeing 737-800 of Jet2.com. ------------------------- Other Enhancements: ------------------------- I suggest that if you want an "as real as it gets" experience in your 737NG, download and install the following: ------ Panel: ------ Undoubtedly the most outstanding, detailed and realistic Boeing 737NG freeware panel available is by Paul Scarratt.

il88pp Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The plane is for fs2004. Not fsx. Is the panel also for fs2004? Check the panel's readme.txt file carefully. If it is for 2004 it may require gauges that are default in fs2004 and not present in fsx. Come to think of it, mrzippy might know a fix for that. Maybe I can find it too... Let's see who's faster.;) Btw, your link to the panel doesn't work (for me). I used the search function. http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=737Ng+Paul+Scarratt&CatID=root&Go=Search I'll have a closer look later.

il88pp Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I had a closer look. The panel does not seem to use default fs2004 gauges. I'll see if I can get it working.

il88pp Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The gauges work fine. You'll have to align the irs to see the gauges light up. Scan panels carefully, then trial and error. Or read the manual very closely I suppose. (There is a latge pdf file included in one of the installed folders, called: 737NG Operations Manual.pdf ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 I did read the manual. If I may ask how did you get it to work as I can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johankotze Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 I had a look at page 40. IRS is the main to start everything but my panel gauges are gone there is only black holes not as fig 3.7.2a on page 41 The PSPanel is in SimObjects/PSPanel/PS737NG/Panel and the Posky 737-800 panel.cfg is [fltsim] alias=PSPanels/PS737NG/Panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 IRS is the main to start everything it seems. PSPanels is situated in SimObjects/PSPanels/PS737NG/Panel. I made a backup of the Posky 737-800 Panel folder as suggested by the PS Panel PDF and called it PanelBackup . I then cleared all entries in the panel.cfg of the Posky 737-800 and add the following in Posky 737-800 panel.cfg [fltdim] alias=PAPanels/PS737NG/Panel Start FSX and select the Posky 73700 the 2d panel is there but no gauges only black holes where the gauges should be. This also happens when I tried the IRS configuration as per page 40 of the PDF manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 show a screenshot of how the panel looks, and a screenshot of the VC. When this is in the panel.cfg [fltsim] alias=PAPanels/PS737NG/Panel So one panel.cfg -->two screnshots [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Did you install the gauges that were in the download. After using the setup.exe file they are in a folder called: ..\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges In there is a folder called: PS737NG That is what you need to copy into FSX. You can install PS737NG in your main gauges Folder. It may be better to install it in folder: ../SimObjects/Airplanes/PSPanels/PS737NG/Panel That way they are kept with the panel that uses them. Cleaner. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 I install PSPanels the first time in FSX and not Flight Simulator 9. I paste the gauges of PSPanels to FSX/Gauges/PS737NG but 2d panel have no gauges also there is no VC. I tried to upload the main_panel.bmp but forum uploader said file invalid I did install the gauges now to ./SimObjects/PSPanels/PS737NG/Panel as you suggested.

il88pp Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 You can take a screenshot of what you see using fsx. just press the V key. The screenshots are in the "My Pictures" folder. Then open the screenshot in "Paint", and save it as .jpg file. You can't upload .bmp files here. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Do not take the files out of the folder with the gauges. You eed to put the complete folder PS737NG in that panel folder, with the files inside it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Your panel.cfg file should be only what's inside the code box. yours was typed wrong: [fltsim] alias=PSPanels\PS737NG\Panel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johankotze Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 The PSPanels is in .../SimObjects/Airplanes/PSPanels/PS737NG/Panel and panel.cfg code is [fltsim] alias=PSPanels\PS737NG\Panel I start FSX and select Posky 737-800 it starts withe PSPanel but no gauges IT IS WORKING. I needed to open Overhead panel and click on GRD PWR to turn it on But now after a few seconds that the GRD PWR button is turned on in the Overhead panel the gauges went dead but GRD PWR button is still on. I tried again and now the gauges displayed. I just pick-up that 1. PSPanels do not respond to all FSUIPC commands. 2. Engine 1 starts but shut-down after a few seconds 3. Engine 2 does not start at all 4. When I disable parking brakes all panels went dead/blank when parking brakes is enabled again gauges turned on.
