Hi.

Hi.

Hi Vic. In the XP11 and later, there is no blank panel that I know of, the reason being everything that LR does in the panel is 3D oriented / dictated. The only way to change something is to import the object in Bender or Sketchup and modify it in 3D. The only way I can think of that you may be able to do it is to start with acft, like the C210 that has a 2D panel, see pic below, that may, or may not work in the latest version,1130+, it's OK in 1120, about 90% of the older planes do not, and modify that. A lot of work, it may be easier to just redo your real acft to look like the XP panel. I mostly gave up on trying to stay current with XP, just not worth the effort for me, and how I use it.

Hi Vic. It would help if you post a pic with the exist and want and you may get better help. It sounds like you may have an older model 185? XP11 makes things very difficult to move / add / change instruments in 3D, but you may be able to build your own panel in 2D, which you can move around, you will not be able to get the good visuals that you get in 3D but if you know what you want you will be able to live with it.

Hi everyone. I can confirm that it will not work properly in FS9 ver.9.1. I get the same results as Nav.... I tried having the ILS_MFD folder in both the Gauges and Panel folder

Hi. You need / must tap the square to the left of the nimbers, not the numbers.

Hi Karol. That statement is correct in the sense that it requires a good scan, and that is one one of the reasons I like your instrument, it forces you to improve your scan, when used in the high precision mode. The reality is, in real life flying, the ILS approaches are easier to perform than many / most non precision. After you intercept the GS you have less work to do, no fixes, step downs, heading adjustments... just follow the bars. I use the simulators, and have been using them in a different form since 1976, to refresh the procedure sequences for the time I may not be flying sufficient, for me is at least 2x/ wk. I also recommend to the pilots I fly with, in particular the the IFR rated, to do the same. That said, it's important that the location, size, spacing of the instruments be in the proper sequence and replicate a real world acft. in order to maintain a proper scan. Fortunately I have some acft. that I created, like the 182RG that allow me to do that on a 42 in. screen. There are also some other acft. that exist where you can set set things up to accomplish close to the same result. Thanks again for your effort and I hope some day you may want to add the Timer and Ground Speed to the ILS bars window. That would make it one window, complete, precision approach gauge.

Hi Karol. OK, now I understand your logic. Nothing wrong with it, but what prompted me to to sugest the ILS point was the name "ILS" included. This is more of a "PLS" Precision Landing System. There are many things I like about the gauge, like the high sensitivity that forces you to increase your scan. I was going to suggest that you display the Ground Speed and a simple working Timer in the same page / window with the ILS bars, which are used / needed during approaches. I can see that you no longer update the code and this is a worthwhile addon as is. Thanks for the effort.

Hi Karol and everyone. A very interesting Gauge, and very useful for many acft. A couple of things I want o point out: 1-You can Install the gauge in the global directory X..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges\ if you just copy the folder ILS_MFD there, and just modify the corresponding panel.cfg for each acft. accordingly, as described in the .txt file. 2-Typically ILS extends / ends about 1000 ft. beyond the approaching end of the runway, and it may be a good idea to have the gauge conform to that to prevent confusion and compared to a acft. that has a built in ILS gauge.

HI HJ. Win OS / FS9's Registry gets affected, when you reinstall it, or move it, and while it is possible to repair it manually, it is best to wipe it out, including the Registry references, and reinstall. Not a good solution, I know, I had the same problem, I ended up fixing it, maybe 7-8 years ago?, but I moved on since. If you can, have sufficient throughput in your system, get FSX Gold, you can still find some on the INet, or look at XP11.
