Thanks Mark!

And also let me thank those who offered suggestion / improvements because I thought I was finished...

I believe this version will be the standard for my other V-One gauges upgrades. I'm really pleased with how well it has evolved

Thank you very much for that, Paul! I've just finished setting up the previous version which is already a great addition to a great airplane! I just wish I'd found the new one about an hour ago before I took off...

Paul,

I installed the new gauge for the second leg of my trip this afternoon and I have to say that I'm stunned and completely impressed with the quality of this gauge!! It adds a new and realistic dimension to the airplane. The best upgrade is the auto-setting of the a/s bugs for takeoff and landing. I expected the setting for t/o based on your description and then got busy during approach to a handflown visual and didn't even realize they'd been reset for landing until turning final and realizing we were all reset again.

Thanks very much again! I'm really looking forward to your upgrade to the '27 gauge (please make it first ) as the version 2.4 has some issues and your gauge will help mitigate some of the disappointment

I still love it anyway..it's an old airplane and they all have quirks...

Cheers!

Please, never mind. I figured it out. Thank you for this wonderful addition. Now I need to locate the one for the 727.

Yes, the recommend changes will keep the plane from taking-off like a rocket!

Before you uninstall and reinstall, make sure that you've opened the V-1 gauge itself once whether you're using it or not. If you only open the Data Card window, the call outs won't work. I just open the V-1 gauge, then the Data Card, then close the V-1. Not sure if that exact sequence is required but it works for me.

Rob mentioned a vital item. Can you guys confirm that you've used the data card and the V-One gauge at least once? This means that the data card shows valid entries for the weights and that you can see the yellow text on top of the screen.

The reason behind this is that both gauges need to run to allow for a proper initialization. As for the sounds, there would be a possible error source when it comes to the entries in the panel.cfg. You need to have valid entries for the sound gauge. Those should look like this.

Needless to say that the sound dsd gauge should be present in the gauges folder while the sound files go to a place within the sound folder of FSX (not the aircraft's). Well, mainly repeating the readme.  But the error must arise from one of those steps.

Well, I tried the similar mods for the 707 - still the same problem; no V1 and Datacard Icons. This time however, only the V1 guage appears in the View-Intruments-panel menu, but not the datacard.

I´ve double and tripple checked everything, I just have no clue about what I´m doing wrong.

BR,
Anders

Hi CoolP thanks for your advice.  I changed the text in the panel.cfg file with your suggestion below and the call outs now work:

gauge18=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\V-one\V-One_Sound.ini
gauge19=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80

The text above is different to what is the pdf install guide so maybe this is why there was no call outs.

Thanks again.

Where can the gauge be downloaded ?

Thanks,

I have another question. Is it possible to control the heading bug by the ISG Simavionics FMC or the CIVA INS ? I want to retrofit the 737 to use it on IVAO.

Regards
Gradl

Gradl wrote on Mar 23^rd, 2014 at 9:55pm:


Yes you can use the CIVA INS with the 737. Anyway the usual config used on most plane doesn't work with the 737 due to the CWS autopilot. It means that the CIVA INS gauge cannot control the heading bug.

Paul Tally made a gauge to make it work.
Check "Civa Ins Heading Display" on avsim

If I understood well how it works, it calculates the offset between your current heading and the heading needed to fly to your next waypoint. Then it banks the plane slowly to reduce this offset to zero....

I use this gauge, so I can tell you it works!

It would appear you may have the wrong files installed.

Download:
V-One Gauge for B737-200/Adv/C/F Complete
from the Avsim Library.

This is the latest version.

I have a problem installing program correctly. I downloaded the latest file from AVSIM. Initially I moved all the files manually to their correct locations using the pdf readme.txt as guidance and manually amended the config files. My initial attempt resulted in nothing visible when I started FSX and selected a CS-B737-200 version 1.6. There was nothing on the simicon panel nor was V-One visible in the Views-Instrument panel.
For my second attempt I dragged and merged the folders and copy and pasted the cfg amendments. This time on starting FSX the simicon panel has the V-1 and data card icons but none of the CS system icons. Clicking on the V-1 icons does not visibly activate any program. The views-Instrument drop down panel still has not got the V-One option. I've checked in 2-D and 3-D.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on where my installation is wrong.

I had some issues installing 1.6 and after a couple of hours of installing / uninstalling I decided to restart my computer. That did the trick for me.

If you're not seeing any of the CS icons then your 1.6 installation of may not have worked.

Things to check:
1. Are the V-One folder and files present in '\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B737-200\panel\V-One'?
2. Check the panel.cfg for:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main
Window01=Simicons
Window02=Animations Control
window03=Autopilot
window04=Radio Stack
window05=GPS
Window06=V-One

gauge19=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80
 

3. If you're installing 1.6 and plan on keeping:
3a. Do not change the [TurbineEngineData] section as described in the readme.txt as CS changed the flight model and is not needed.
3b. Do not install gauge CS737_ApuGenGrdPwr_Complete as CS changed the flight model and is not needed.
3c. Do not install gauge CivaHdgDisplay as CIVA does not work any more in 1.6

Have the V-One gauge installed now on 200, Adv, C, and F versions.  Working great!!  Also, have been using the Load Manager to move cargo containers into and out of the cargo versions of the 737.  Just completed a test flight from Boeing Field in Seattle, WA to Ketchikan, AK, with ILS approach followed by unloading of cargo containers on the ramp.  Nice work, Captain Sim!!

Hi blue-ice
Search for Paul Tally or the filename: v-one_737_complete.zip
Checked and found it's still present at Avsim.
Good luck, Lex

I just tried the 737-200 again, and noticed that the callouts are not working.  Everything was working fine last April, but not now.  Downloaded the V-One gauge again and installed it.  Everything seems to be installed OK, but no callouts.   

Jim Kaye

Thanks. 

Thanks. 

HI  WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT...  PLEASE!!! :D

I have just spent the better part of 3 hours trying to install this add on, and I've got the V1 and the Data Card in the simicon list and they work, but I've lost all the other CS simicons, they're all blacked out, what is wrong?

mog

Thanks Paul, it's the little things that catch you out, I had 75 instead of 8, what a dummy! I must have looked at it several times and not spotted it.
Once again many thanks.

mog

Right I've done it, it all comes down to what you fsxpaul wrote on the 13th Jan. 2013, I compared the old saved panel.cfg [window01] gauge00= line and the new gauge00= line and then reread what you wrote in 2013, it is important for ADV/C/F aircraft to have the correct wording.
"gauge00=..\..\CS_B737-200\panel\Captain_Sim.x737.anim!icons, 0,26,44,120" is the correct line for those aircraft other than the basic 737-200.

Hope that makes sense.

When I wrote this gauge I was not able to match the V-One trim calculation with the visual indicator on the trim wheel.
I suggest using the V-One trim setting (yellow text) and not the trim wheel indicator for this reason.

Here we go again! at least I think so, I've just updated to the latest version plus the patch and I've lost all the callouts for the V-One gauge, has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone help?

mog 

Hi Paul, hope you are well, yes I did back up pretty much everything! in fact that was how I fixed it. I compared the panel.cfg files and the aircraft.cfg files and they were the same, then I thought I haven't tried the 737-200, so I did and that worked!!? So back to the Adv. I compared the Adv. sound folders and they were the same only one item a cfg. file referring to the 737-200 alias, then I checked the panel file and discovered that although I had created a V-One file in the 737-200 panel folder I had neglected to do the same for the Adv. panel folder, WHAT A LEMON!!! Once I had done this all was well.
I seem to recall last time we communicated Paul it was because I had left undone those things that I should have done up!

Sorry matey

mog 

No need for the aircraft.cfg changes. Captain Sim corrected the excessive thrust with a prior update.

I'm working on an update to the V-One gauge that includes altitude call-outs.

Should be ready very soon
