Once I started using TrackIR, I started to live in the virtual cockpit and pretty much ignore the 2D cockpit. I do like a good bit of systems modeling too. Not to the point of needing a flight engineer, but then again I limit myself to single and twin engine types, so a degree of systems complexity is nice.
What kind of panel do you like?
- Thread starter Tom Clayton
- Start date
Can you point me to Ken Mitchell's 707 panel for HJG? Google doesn't find it.
Thanks.
You would probably change your mind after starting a few engines on the Accusim B-17 !
Starting this plane is, like, 50% of the fun. The good thing is that once you have started them, you can hand-over the controls of cowl flaps, intercoolers and engines RPM to your virtual copilot, so you just need to concentrate on the pleasure of piloting the plane
When did they make Accusim available for FS9? FSX won't run worth a flip on this comp.

I don't know about your current computer and this is off topic. What I wanted to tell is that once you'll get your hands on some serious addons, may it be on FS9, or in future on FSX or XPlane, your point of view on the aircraft complexity might change.
Since you mentionned the aircraft starting sequence, I simply jumped to the most obvious example: the Accusim planes. There's nothing better than starting an Accusim warbird. If one day you get a chance to try that, your point of view might change and you might start to like playing with the engines of your birds. That's what I wanted to say.

Hi,
I think it's one of the panels listed in the 'panel' section at HJG for the Boeings.
HJG B707-320B EARLY SERIES BY GEORGE CARTY. 28 August 2007
I'm just going to have a look myself!.....Nothing found...... Well I don't know what happened there. Possibly a brain meld with an empty dustbin. I was convinced I read that somewhere. My apologies.
On a different note, I added in the beautiful INS gauge by Julian Avisenis to this panel and now it's possible to fly a route you set up without the pink line showing on the map, as you don't have to load a Flight Plan into FS9 to get the INS to function.

True that, but checklists make everything easier (when done properly).
Having to switch tanks is a nice relief for the relative boredom at cruise altitude.

Sounds just like "B-17 Flying Fortress II" without the added fun of guns, bombs, flak, crew manangement and the Luftwaffle.
Not to worry. I fully understand brain melding with dustbins...

Does this sim save the engine wear of your plane, so that the engines get harder and harder to start everytime you fly it ?

No, but the shot up airframes and the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" moments when a crewmember gets wounded/killed by flak shrapnel more than make up for it.
Also, squadron management.
