Title: Missing CABs in 2.6?
Post by Mustang1977 on Nov 9th, 2015 at 1:01pm
Hello people,

I've discovered that possibly a few CABs are missing. 3 CoPilot Gauges are not present which require these.

The affected (missing) CABs are:

- Captain_Sim.p721.R04.cab
- Captain_Sim.p721.R10.cab
- Captain_Sim.p721.R13.cab

So there I can't see no airspeed, altitude and radaralt Gauge on the CoPilots side.

Could anyone please look if this problem is not only on my side?

It's easy to fix this, only replaced the "R" with an "L" in the panel.cfg in section [VCockpit07]:

gauge00=Captain_Sim.p721.R01!R01_machmeter, 24,26, 200,200
gauge01=Captain_Sim.p721.R03!R03_aplight, 625,749, 55,55
gauge02=Captain_Sim.p721.L04!L04_airspeed, 275, 30, 177, 169
gauge03=Captain_Sim.p721.R05!R05_rmi, 275, 775, 200,200
gauge04=Captain_Sim.p721.L10!L10_altimeter, 275,270, 210,240
gauge05=Captain_Sim.p721.R11!R11_vsi, 20,524, 217,220
gauge06=Captain_Sim.p721.L13!L13_ra, 260,505, 240,240

- Captain_Sim.p721.R10.cab
- Captain_Sim.p721.R13.cab

All required files are accounted for. There are no missing files.

The following CAB files are all that's needed for the gauges you've mentioned:

Captain_Sim.p721.L04.cab has L04_airspeed.spb and R04_airspeed.spb included.
Captain_Sim.p721.L10.cab has L10_altimeter.spb and R10_altimeter.spb included.
Captain_Sim.p721.L13.cab has L13_ra.spb and R13_ra.spb included.

Note: The SPB extension is a compiled XML file that loads and runs faster in FSX.

I see, but the gauges are not present in the VC because the 3 entries in the panel.cfg are wrong.

Do you have the airspeed, altimeter and radaralt on the CoPilots side from the beginning?

The correct fix should look like this, but it doesn't matter, it's all the same  ;)

gauge02=Captain_Sim.p721.L04!R04_airspeed, 275, 30, 177, 169
gauge04=Captain_Sim.p721.L10!R10_altimeter, 275,270, 210,240
gauge06=Captain_Sim.p721.L13!R13_ra, 260,505, 240,240

Simply replace the "R" with an "L".

Mine works perfectly as is. No need for modification to the panel.cfg file.
You must have been using an older panel.cfg file which was correct for a previous version.
More than likely v2.4

Yes indeed, because I've not deleted my previous panel.cfg (it was modded). As I've compared with the new one this change I have overseen  :)

I highly recommend using the correct panel.cfg and applying any mods to that.

CS made many changes to the code and it's possible that you'll experience more issues by not using the proper panel.cfg file.

Just my opinion  ;)

Yes, thanks for the advise. But I don't think that I've overseen something further - all systems work as they should. The pressuration for example is now working correctly without a MOD like in 2.4 and earlier.

I think the 727 is one of the most finished airplanes form CS  :)
