Title: Retrofit VC with EHSI + TCAS II
Post by AirCanadaGuy on Sep 2nd, 2014 at 1:00am
I have created an improved retrofit panel over my last "version" for Captain Sim's 727-100. This retrofit will work with the -200 and Freighters, but you will have to customize the panel.cfg for those models.

I managed to integrate the freeware TCAS II gauge from flightsim.com (search: TCAS II gauge), an ISG EHSI and the EHSI Controller, FMC, MCU and I also have FSXPaul's V-One gauge installed (Awesome work there Paul!)

Remember to back up your 727 panel.cfg before changing anything.

Follow the steps in the TCAS II folder for installation. Thanks too Lee Hetherington for his awesome TCAS gauge!

Make sure you have the heading select on before you activate the LNAV. ISG's LNAV system will give commands to the aircrafts heading select automatically.

Aircraft.cfg mod, so the ISG screens don't turn off in flight.

That looks great and very cool.  I don't own that ISG product, but it looks like a nice package for the money.  I might ask for it for my upcoming birthday!

It helped a lot on vatsim with reducing some of the "virtual pilot's" work load. Of course, you can add it to any aircraft in FSX.  ;) The TCAS gauge is freeware from flightsim.com - I highly recommend it, it works well with vPilot, too.
