Panels for the Parhelia (formerly "Not much here")

[Warren]

Quilljar

As promised I have prepared a webpage illustrating the two routes for 2D
panels using the Parhelia - Please note that both require some work on
them. Where a Virtual cockpit is supplied with the aircraft, then that
is the preferred route: but this can be difficult in phases of flying
such as the landing where the instruments need to be scanned, operations
by the mouse needed as well as a good view outside where pheripheral
vision is valuable.

I would welcome any comments.

Hi Warren,
They look super to me. I wonder how you do it and how do you install them? I
usually only fly GA, mainly the Cessna , but those panels are impressive.

BTW, the lower one does not enlarge when clisked on.

For installation the Flightsim How-to page is good:

I'm experimenting with putting together a complete package of gauges and
textures for the widescreen panels as you can put all the gauges in the
aircraft panel file rather than in the Gauges file. I'll let you know
when I've done more but it may be some time as I have a fairly heavy
work-load with graphics for clients.

Personally I'd rather fly the 2nd one. I'm less concerned with realism than with utility. Guess I need to a Parhelia
to my list of needed FS9 hardware :)

Excellent! I can't wait.
Still ,I have waited about three years already, I suppose another few weeks
won't matter!

That's really fantastic work Warren,

I'll be watching this to see how it develops. I've always pondered the idea
of a three view 2d panel for my Parhelia flying. The VC has it's merit but
only the really well done one's (PMDG 737, Aeroworx B200 as an example) keep
my attention for any length of time. In addition to my Parhelia, I use a
NVidia PCI card with two LCD's for my 2D panel's so I generally use a custom
panel (FS Panel Studio) on one LCD and then break out additional panels
(radios, FMC, Throttles, GPS etc.) on the other one. I keep thinking about
adding a second PCI card for more real estate but finance's haven't
permitted the expense of the card and the monitors yet. Again, really nice
work.
