ASVV 0 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi, We bought your software Discus GliderX to set up a training simulator for our gliding club (ASVV). After installation we have the following problem : - the display of the panel is very large even after maximum de-zoom (see picture below) - It would be more suitable to be able to display the yawstring in a fixed main view (5760x1080) and a fixed panel (altimeter + variometer+ airspeed) in the small 10,4" TV screen in front of the pilot. Is it possible to get this features ? Thank you for helpingRegards PS: FSX parameters attached as pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Nice simulator! :-) It is not possible. The gauges are all 3d modeled. Even the Yawstring. So basicly that would mean buildung up a new 3d model. However there are some freeware gliders, that contain gauges, similar to the Discus ones. You could load down such a glider and use the gauges from this one. The missing thing would be the C4. The other option s, to make a new view in the panel.cfg and put it exactly on the panel, and move the main view, to only see the yawstring. This would help.

ASVV 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Joachim I already tried to add a new view and put it in the panel TV but this view is not fixed and moves up and down as the glider moves. Do you know someone in France that can help even for money on this issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know someone in France that can help even for money on this issue ? You mean it moves as the aircraft encounters G force? If so try setting MomentumEffect = Yes in the view definition to 'No'.

ASVV 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Already set to NO Does someone knows a free or paid FS-glider with 2D panel and yawstring that I would be able to use in place of DiscusX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You can dpwnload many here: http://www.fsglider.de/ But you'll not have the C4 in this case. Cheers, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 3, 2012 Aerosoft Share Posted February 3, 2012 But then I do not understand what you mean that the view moves. Can you explain that a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASVV 0 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi, I try to explain. In normal flight situation you see this which is OK except that I have to drag the panel each time I start FSX :-( When you push on the stick (diving) you get this; the panel is coming down and some instruments disappeared : On the opposite (climbing) when you pull the stick : What I would like to get is what I saw for FS airplanes where instruments are separate from the panel view and put in a different screen. Regarding the link to fsglider.de, I already knew this site and had some exchange with Wolfgang Piper. He helped me to display the yawstring (for ASK21) on the fixed panoramic view but was enable to find a solution to display the panel alone in a separate screen. May be someone can help for this. Hope is a human fealing. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASVV 0 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks for helping The trick was only part of the solution. The solution is to change : - the value of MaxHeadAngle to zero in the [DynamicHeadMovement] paragraph of the fsx.cfg file - the value of "MomentumEffect" to No in Cameras.cfg, in Username>AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>FSX folder and in Cameras.cfg in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder and in the aircraft folder Now the panel is fixed BUT BUT BUT ... each time I start (even if I have saved the flight and the parameters) I do not get the situation as it was when I stopped. The panel view appear in the 3 screens view on top of the panoramic view, and I have to resize it and to drag it in the small screen to start flying. Is there a solution to save the display and to get it as it was saved each time I restart ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Schweigler 203 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Not that I am aware of. I will show Mathijs again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 22, 2012 Aerosoft Share Posted February 22, 2012 No, FSX does not allow you to save those panels. It's just not in the FLT files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lürkens 30 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I remember vaguely an add-on tool which does this job, but no idea anymore on it's name or source. Still you may design your own 2D-panel for the Discus and detach it from the 3D window. It will be remembered by the FLT-file (don't know if you can still have the C4). And it won't move, definitely.
