UI Graphics Modification for Harranssor's Diamond DA-42

Mod version 1.4 for aircraft version 2.0

If you are still using aircraft version 1.x, you have to update by re-downloading the aircraft from your .org store account!

Created with written consent of Harranssor (DA-42 author).

Thanks to Harranssor for creating the DA-42 and for giving me the permission to publish this modification. Get the DA-42 here!

1. Goal of this Modification

Harranssor's DA-42 includes a G1000 unit which, in terms of function, goes as far as possible with default X-Plane means. Since aircraft version 1.2, the DA-42 includes most features of my original G1000 mod, thereby having more realistic visuals (icons, fonts, colors).


However, the mod also brought a more realistic layout to the PFD, and these changes were deliberately not included in later aircraft versions.

This new version of the mod is for aircraft version 2.0, and includes the missing changes to the PFD layout. The included .acf file combines all bug fixes and changes that Harranssor made for aircraft version 2.0 with the PFD layout of the original mod.

The .acf file is provided with permission from Harranssor.


2. What this mod isn't

This mod does NOT change the functionality of the simulated G1000; it just changes the PFD layout to make it a little bit more realistic.


3. Installation

Be careful to make a backup of the original DA-42 folder before installing the mod!

Copy the files from the "Copy these files" folder to your DA-42 aircraft folder. Replace the existing files with the new ones.

On MacOS, DO NOT COPY COMPLETE FOLDERS! Copy the files which are INSIDE the folders. I know this is a bit tedious, because there are many folders, but if you do otherwise, MacOS will delete files from the original aircraft which you need to keep! If you see strange buttons on the PFD screen, you made a mistake. You then need to revert to your backup of the original aircraft and start again.

This mod includes a modified .acf file which was necessary for adjusting the PFD. If you have modified your .acf already, you need to do your own modifications again after replacing your .acf file with the mod .acf file. Be careful.


4. Known Issues

• 
  The speed tape on the PFD will be hidden by an opened FPL window. On real G1000 units, the FPL window is shown either as small inset on the lower right of the PFD, or on the right of the MFD. You can check your speed using the backup airspeed indicator, though.
