DC-3 stuff

Cirrus, could that large area of gauges that didn't do much, have been your engine related gauges. That seems to be what's missing from what I can see of the remaining gauges.

the area i replaced was the disabled auto Pilot Stuff the engine gauges are below :wavey:

You would need the gauge from flight 1 to use it Does anyone know how to contact Jan Visser? so we can get Permission to share the vc Model
 
I think that using the spot currently occupied by a non-functioning autopilot for some modern avionics is a good idea.
 
Just make it a popup, sizeable window panel - seems like a more flexible and easy option. You can us one of the generic FS9/FSX GPS' of your choice. I do it all the time.

I don't have F1 Garmin but if there are a easy way to add the default panels same as they did with MAAM's here, I will be happy

And yes it is a a Blasphemy and heresy for a classic, but you know we are in modern times and need to improvise better for us :)

when you have a Big Area with Gauges which don't do anything its a Good time to Replace with something you can use Daily

Yes is good improvement for a not working Gauges also I like to fly with easy full autopilot and map moving or GPS in the VC cockpit, if there are a way to add a Carenado glass cockpit I will like more :-D
 
Why dont you just use the V2 which had all the glass stuff already fitted. I have kept that one going for specialist C-47's such as the Basler, Buffalo etc. Makes a nice change for modern electronics. Flies just as well.

I was going to suggest that myself. Mixed feelings on this debate - on the one hand, I'm in favor of adding modern avionics (I also like antibiotics and general anesthesia - my nostalgia for the good old days is tempered by the casualty rate). On the other hand, the Garmin doesn't look quite right in the vintage VC, if only because someone going to the trouble of adding a Garmin would probably also make a few other changes. In all, the more modern V2 VC is a better match.

I sometimes find myself hoping that someday, there'll be a V3-quality version with a contemporary flight deck along the lines of Robert Randazzo's Tabitha May. But given the amount of work involved, that's asking a lot of a freeware project - something like that would probably have to come from the likes of PMDG or A2A or some equivalent payware newcomer. For the Manfred/Jan aircraft, I'd settle for a DC-3 exterior model at some point - but even that feels like a luxury request.

@Cirrus - if you're looking for Jan, you'll find him over on the Sim Outhouse P3D forum, where he's the moderator. Forum handle = "Javis". Can't hurt to ask.
 
Why not ....

Hmm this got me thinking and dabbling ... might be nice to have the option of adding the modern cockpit including annunciator panel, 3d dual GPS, sanitizer box, etc to the 3.14 version and its interactive checklist, cockpit chatter, Monitor, FDE, etc. Once at it the C-117 could get the same treatment. Let's see where this goes, any rate here is a first attempt:

Outstanding! Looking forward to it!
 
Manfred, that's a really intriguing solution. I'd be all in for a modern VC option to use alongside the vintage one where appropriate (or when the mood strikes). The C-117 would be icing on the cake. Looking forward to seeing this come off.

EDIT: And of course, happy to join in testing whenever you need it.
