Glideslope for Carenado 172n

Somehow, when I first got the thing, I added a glideslope and VOR distance measurement to the 172n's panel.

Had a computer glitch and had to reinstall everything and I can't remember how I did it. I've searched for three days in various forums and web pages in vain. Can anybody please tell me how I did it? All I remember when I did it was thinking, "Well that was easy".

The Carenado 172n flies almost exactly like my old Cessna in real life did but it had the full IFR package and I kind of miss that.

Standard looking VOR gauge in Nav 1 spot and speed and milage readout below the frequencies.

It really flummoxes me too. I keep really detailed records of what I change and what works and what doesn't. You should see my Luftwaffe paint mixes for my model building addiction! Just can't figure out where I stored this little secret to hide it from myself.

Maybe you downloaded two files from the links in this thread, third post down from flying_bob:

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/344131-carenado-cessna-skyhawk-c172n-ils/page/2/

Just in case, here are the instructions for adding those two .cab files:

Open the panel folder of Carenado C172II N.

Look for file called "172things4.cab" and rename the file to "172things4_original.cab".

Now take the downloaded files and add them to the panel and panel.1 folders.

Open the panel.cfg file with notepad.

Scroll down till you get to the [Vcockpit02] section, see below:

[Vcockpit02]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=512,512

visible=0

pixel_size=1024,1024

texture=$Panel_172_2

gauge00=172Things4!Radios, 2,4,287,285

gauge01=172Things4!adf, 4,291,281,114

gauge02=172Things4!transponder, 4,410,281,62

etc.

Now change gauge01 of vcockpit section 2 to be the same as below:

[Vcockpit02]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=512,512

visible=0

pixel_size=1024,1024

texture=$Panel_172_2

gauge00=172Things4!Radios, 2,4,287,285

gauge01=172Things5!ADFDME, 4,291,281,114

gauge02=172Things4!transponder, 4,410,281,62

etc.

SAVE NOTE:---------

If you have more than one panel folder, e.g. panel.1 folder also in carenado 172 main folder, repeat the process for the panel.1 folder.

Start FSX and enjoy ADF with DME incorporated.

To select VOR1 or VOR 2 there is a selection button on the right side.

To change the ADF click the buttons beneath.

WOOHOO! I gotz my ILS back! Thank you Tiger!

I don't remember downloading those files but that must be how I did it before.

I now have a backup copy in case I ever need to do it again.
