How to add ADF to my panel?

[Slide]

Hello Simmers,

I tried to add an ADF-Tuner to the panel of my Kellet Autogyro and i got stuck with it.
Preferably I would like to use one with a needle, not the acoustic gauge like the Stinson Reliant has one.

What I did before was to add GPS to a number of A/C, so I have a minimal idea of how to edit the panel.cfg, but this time it would not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Slide

Hi slide!

If you'd like to add a new gauge to the panel (2d or vc) there's a very useful tool called FSpanel (Flight1). It works very easily and fast.

If the only thing you want to do is add a pop up panel, you may change the panel.cfg by adding some lines, for example, in the case of the Kellet:

[Window03]
size_mm=248,205
position=0
visible=0
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
ident=THROTTLE_PANEL

gauge00=..\Aircraft\Lockheed_Vega\Panel\Lockheed_Vega!ecu_popup, 0,0,248,205

------------------------------------------------------------

[Window04]
size_mm=248,205
position=0
visible=0
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
ident=YOUR GAUGE NAME

gauge00= (THE NAME OF YOUR GAUGE)

--------------------------------------------------------------

For example,

[Window04]
size_mm=248,205
position=0
visible=0
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
ident=ADF

gauge00=gauge00=Cessna!ADF,0,0

The last numbers are the size of the gauge. If zero is too large, change to a smaller size.

Thanks for the instant reply, windrunner!
Let´s have a try on that pop up panel ....

Slide,

I've forgotten I've done a ADF pop up panel sometime ago with the default DC3 gauges. If you want to give this a try, add this lines to the Kellet's panel.cfg

[Window04]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=250,100
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=0
visible=0
ident=70
window_size= 0.681, 0.441
window_pos= 0.050, 0.040

gauge00=Douglas_DC3!radio, 1,5,156,81
gauge01=Douglas_DC3!radio_compass, 163,6,82,82

(may be you'll have to resize a little once in the cockpit)

Don't forget to add this line at the beginning of the panel cfg to make it work

Window04=Adf

Another thing you will need to do to make an ADF function in the Kellett is to go into the aircraft.cfg and enable it

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 0
Com.1 = 1, 0
Nav.1 = 0, 0, 0
Adf.1 = 0 <---------------Change to 1
Transponder.1 = 0
Marker.1 = 0

That may be why it didn't work the first time you tried.

Dear Gentlemen, that was great help - all systems running!
I was fumbling around for an hour or so, the entry in the aircraft.cfg was missing, finally.
