Carenado D18 released

[unc1rlm]

Hope whoever might paint one for you gets it more accurate to Piedmont's scheme than shown here, there's a nice Piedmont DC-3 paint on the web for the MAAM DC-3, perhaps can be adopted from that ?, however Piedmont never flew this a/c, they flew- DC-3, F-27, M404, FH-227B, YS-11, B721, B732, in this scheme.

LOL....damn...had me fooled.. It looked so good..thought it had to be true. I have the DC3... I have all the planes. I worked for Piedmont in early 70's and remember the M404 and the YS11 and just brought in the 737's. Never flew on a Piedmont Dc3 but did fly on my cousins' DC3 when a young guy. Great aircraft.

Anyway, thank you for ruining my day ...just kiddin but hey I still want one.....It can fly with all my other Piedmonts at my totally new Winston Salem airport that in reality is a ghost town. Our new airport has a McDonald's "fly-thru"...lol

Warmest Regards!!

No problem bud, grew up a Piedmont fan here in NC, remember the FH-227 and YS-11's coming in low over the house into DAN back in the day, you could here those RR Darts coming for miles, lol

For the rest of us that are reluctant to open their wallets, though I am considering it for this one, Milton Shupes d18s reworked are a good alternativ. It is so good I have trouble see the need for the carenado beech. I might cave on this one.....

This is now on sale but did someone succeed to get rid of GPS?

Rid Of GPS

Can you explain what you mean by "rid of GPS" do you NOT WANT IT at all or substitute it for another or what? I can help you with that on how to do it if I know what you want to do.

 

[William Njurmi]

I went through this discussuion and it was indeed you who was about to mod something with the GPS. Yes, if I buy it it would be nice to get it with steam gauges or just have the instrument panel without modern equipment. Default COM/NAV radios would suffice to me.

 

[tgycgijoes]

Didn't Remember

I didn't remember answering you before. I just looked in FSPS at the panel of the Carenado D18S and the way the virtual cockpit is created by Carenado I don't believe that you can do what you want. You can probably modify Milton's and he is available to ask questions. Carenado doesn't answer questions about modifying any of their aircraft.

You can either change in panel.cfg this( if you have Uncel Milton's D18)




[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=512,512
visible=0
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$Panel_1

//gauge00=GPS530_3D_BE18!GPS_530_3D, 0,0,512,372
gauge00=ST_D18!radio, 0,0,512,372

gauge01=BE18CAR!ToggleCARG1000, 64,0,384,32

But still you have the Garmin frame

Or you change model.cfg to this

[models]
normal=D18
interior=D18_interior_GTNx64

Then you get that

My 2 cents

[William Njurmi]

Oh I see. Thanks for your effort. It seems that I'm skipping this. I remember Carenado talking that this plane would get steam gauges option...

 

[thunder100]

I think that vintage thing is Aeroplane Heaven Aztec where you can shift old and new radios
