Hossfly68 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 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.

tiger1962 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Was this a gauge? If so, was it a dial gauge or a digital readout-type? Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Hossfly68 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 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.
