Virtual Cockpit
EHM-1671 Ben:
When I want to replace a panel, I delete (completely delete) the folder inside the aircraft (in this case, the Dornier). Then, I cop y the panel from the default MS plane and paste that folder inside the EHM plane's folder (for example, if you wanted the 737 panel for the Dornier, completely delete the panel folder in the Dornier file, copy the panel folder from the default Boeing 737, and paste it into the Dorneir's folder). This has worked for me every time, no hitches.
And no, the ATR doesn't have gauges. At least none that I've found.
Finally, don't be sorry for asking! I've asked many questions, and I've probably annoyed many people, but don't be ashamed to ask... that's what the forums are here for ;D
EHM-E4S:
well, I'm glad that you're not annoyed. On another Virtual Airline, after submitting, it went blank. I said on the forum that there might be some problems. The Admin got annoyed saying that that's normal, and that I should shutup. I got the e-mail, but I haven't visited that VA since. That's why I like this one.
When I was installing the ATR, it said that it came with Gauges that needed to be put in the gauges folder, but I couldn't find anything like that, so maybe that's the problem. We haven't got that folder.

Matt,
The ATR-42 is a lovely model with VC but it was designed for FS2002 and unfortunately the gauges don't work properly in FS9. I remember when I installed it (over a year ago) some of the gauges came out the wrong size and overlapped the surrounding area - I was able to use gauges from another panel to fill the gaps but unfortunately I've upgraded my system since then so I don't have that version any more... Sorry! I guess Robert (the fleet manager) may have removed the gauges pending a new version of this plane..?)
I'll have a look on Avsim (if you don't use www.avsim.com you should - it's a brilliant resource for FS with a huge file library) to see if there are any alternative panels you could try...
And like Ben says, don't be afraid to ask ;)
EDIT: I've checked Avsim (you need to register to get access to the file library but this is free and very easy) and there is an updated ATR-42 with working panel and VC for FS9, it's an update of the one we use for the EHM fleet so:-
1. you need to download the file "atr425-tcp2.zip" from the library by Jean Francois COLOMBAIN (my thanks to him for his hard work updating the ATR:P) and install it (it comes with an installer so this is easy).
2. Then you just need to delete the panel folder in your ehmatr42 plane folder (in Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9/aircraft)
3. then copy and paste the panel folder from inside the new ATR-42 you've just downloaded (which is called "ATR 42-500 - Freelance TCP" also in your aircraft folder) into the ehmatr42 folder.
Once you've done that you should be able to load up your EHM ATR-42 and enjoy the lovely VC and all working instruments !!
Try it and let me know if it works for you. Just take it step by step... ;)
EHM-E4S:
I'm registered with avsim, but it won't let me download for some reason.

Matt, Keep trying - there is a help guide you can use... What exactly does it say when you try to log in? By the way I've edited my previous post with some extra information so please have a look at the new version ;D
