Sorry, there is a problem whit the File server on x-pilot and I don’t know how to solve it. If you can’t access the .org server try this link http://www.talisman-illustration-design.com/turbulence/files/temp/C172SP_WidePanel_C_v1.5.zip The file will be available only few days on that place Cheers Alan

Can we expect to have clouds touching the horizon? Over the ocean for example. Thanks, this will be THE Plugin everyone must have. Alan

Hum, I don’t know. Try this one http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18737 Alan

It happened when the wind speed is set way too high. Maybe it’s your problem...

Of course it will. Maybe ask the developer why this sound is played then. + Alan

Hi AJ, The ultimate solution... look in the aircraft sound resource folder to find the offending «ding» sound. Then replace it with a silence one using the same filename (assuming you have a sound editor software). Cheers Alan

Thanks Kris, Unfortunately not. A 3D panel is a completely different game and I don’t have the knowledge to do that. Sorry. Alan

For those who didn’t notice, Maciej Swic post a video showing the engine startup procedure of my aircraft. Here’s the link. I plan to release an update (v1.4) very soon fixing minor bugs and including some new stuff. Happy flight Alan

Hi Leen, Did you reskin it from scratch? The rivets and details seems of higher resolution. What’s the size of your texture work? Look very good. Keep posting Alan

I’m not sure if it’s possible. Let me know if that’s the case. Thanks

Thanks mariodonick for your support If I find the time, I’ll try to add a «fake» panel in the 3D view to fill the hole. I think it should be important to be able to look around and watch traffic. I also plan to smooth the 3D model mesh «left side view» only, like the window edges and pitot tube, which are pretty square cut actually. But to do that I have to figure out how to work with AC3D which is not easy, despite the fact that I already work with another 3D software. So for the moment it would be it. Alan

Any comment, suggestion mail to: alfletcher2@yahoo.ca ------------------------- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ------------------------- Fast CPU (Multi core recommended) Fast GPU (1 Gb vram minimum) Large screen (minimum 1920 px wide, 2048 px or more recommended) X-Plane 10 running at 64 Bit mandatory for smoothness This panel might not be compatible with some SAITEK products including SWITCH PANEL, RADIO PANEL, THROTTLE QUADRANT, TPM. The SAITEK Yoke System is ok. Some simmers reported no problem using some of them though. Give a try and report any problem. For trouble free operation, user should only use mouse to actuate knob and lever. -------------- INSTALLATION -------------- Unzip the file «C172SP_WidePanel_C.zip» and copy the extracted content into your .../Aircraft/General Aviation folder. For maximum experience copy, one by one, the provided «Resources files» into their corresponding X-Plane «Resources folder» (don’t forget to make a copy of the original files in case of problem). I recommend the usage of the excellent plugin X-Hobb (). Enjoy! Be sure to check the ReadMe file included in this archive for more details. ----------------- VERSION HISTORY ----------------- Ver 1.0 – March 9, 2013 Initial Release Ver 1.1 – March 9, 2013 Fixed a bug found in the Checklist actuating system. Ver 1.2 – March 10, 2013 Fixed a problem with the 3D propeller as viewed from outside to appear not moving. Fixed a problem with navcom radios restricting ATIS and VOR signal to be heard. Add yokes visibility trigger (click on tail number plate to hide/show) Ver 1.3 – March 10, 2013 Fixed a problem with the fuel pump switch showing in a carburated engine. I simply removed it to be consistent. Ver 1.4 – June 4, 2013 DME receiver added (Bendix/King KN 62A) Extinguisher now fully functionnal. Follow Emergency Procedure if cabin fire occurs. Added a hidden switch over the pilot’s yoke to set input mode if yokes flicking occurs. Fixed a bug with the Variometer showing inaccurate vertical speed rate. Fixed a bug preventing the Transponder breaker to fail the device in specific configurations. Fixed a bug with the Autopilot device regarding altitude hold and ILS (GS) tracking. Fixed a bug in the Flaps actuation system preventing fixed increment adjustments with joystick input. Fixed a minor bug related to Vacuum gauge needle not turning off when electrical power fell below critical voltage. Starter sound improved. Ver 1.5 – September 6, 2013 Fixed a bug related to the Transponder Power Mode Knob turning the device off under specific condition. Ver 1.6 – November 9, 2013 Fixed a bug related to the Elevator Trimwheel System failing under specific condition. ---------------- MAIN FEATURES ---------------- Project entirely developed in Plane Maker (no plugin involve yet) Match the specifications of the C172SP model modified for training purpose like a P model (160 HP, carburated, 30° max flap setting) A fuel injected, 180 HP with HSI version will be released later, depending how the current release is received Custom HD panel 2048 x 1840 pixel (implemented into the stock C172 from X-PLANE/www.dmax.it) (2D version only / 3D cockpit disabled) Day and Night textures Custom livery Custom sounds (Engine/Prop, Ground roll and contact, Skid, Ignition/Starter, Master/Avionics Switches, Primer, Breakers, Key set, Autopilot warn, Trim wheel, Flaps, Rain and Wind) -------- WARNING -------- This project required hundreds of hours of labor and thinking to make it as close as possible to the real thing. I pushed to the limit the hacking concept of X-Plane in many ways, using wrong dataref to trigger actions and instruments. The electrical system for example is highly customized to bypass some strange behaviours found initially in the coding of X-Plane.

Saturday, March 9, 00Z at Greenwich so... As promised, my project if officially available. Hope you’ll enjoy it. Since it is freeware, your comments would be my only reward. Fly safe! Here the link to the installer: http://forums.x-plan...&showfile=18737 Alan

Hi all, As the developer of this project I’m the best to answer I guess. It will be freeware because it’s essentially a modified version of the stock C172 from Dmax and despite the fact that I spent about two years to achieve it. I completely strip the cockpit and rebuilt it from scratch using PlaneMaker generic instruments and hundred of layered images I’ve created using a 3D software and Photoshop. Since I’m graphic designer and illustrator, I got a lot of experience in that field professionally. For the first time here is a screenshot at full res (2048 wide) of my panel (don’t forget to zoom in the picture, it’s big!). http://www.talisman-illustration-design.com/turbulence/files/C-GSEN_C172SP-WidePanel.jpg This is a very HD panel requiring a lot of vram. For that reason, XP10-64 bit would be mandatory to run it smoothly. I don’t know if it will run in XP9 though. I’ll post the link to download it saturday.
