[not able to get a 2D Panel with E-Jets 170-190 under P3Dv4.5]

*

The fact of the matter is I am a retired Pilot from Mesa Airlines.  I also had over 6400 hours of flight time with the US Army.  I can say that a 2D panel in "most" circumstances in a flight simulator is more realistic than all of the Virtual Cockpit junk.  Its all devised so that the people with the head tracking and the Oculus hardware can get their jollies. 

While in a cockpit for real.....  my head can move but the cockpit does not.  So why does flight simulation error to the moving cockpit.  Nothing is more real than a steady instrument panel in front of you. If I need to reach above for a switch or a breaker then I move my arms and head.  The cockpit doesn't move with the tracking of my head.

I think the fact of the matter is with 64 bit, it is a bit more work to create the 2d panel and VC panel.  So the VC is less of a task. They spit is out and even brag in their ads about how this or that plane has "Total Virtual" cockpits.

Bah, Hmm bug.

It is understood that this version wasn't setup for the 2D panel. 

However, I think you were being asked for a way to get it back in.  An edit to the panel.cfg from a previous version would probably work.

I too am another person who prefers the 2D panels.  One reason is some people don't have all the turn and view or whatever its called to move your head around. 

Some ppl are using yokes and throttle quadrants and can't move around.............

Again, it is understood this version doesn't have the 2D, But it could.   I would make the change to my panel.cfg if I only had the original 2d from previous version.

 

OH!   one more thing.   The mini-panel does not show up.  that is sometimes a work around.  Bring up the 2d gauges and works well if you have a mini panel.  but hitting the W key doesn't bring it up.

 

Please advise.

[Flight Plans Again (answered)]

Here is the info you require before I begi

1. Prepar3D V4
2. FSUIPC* ver 5.12
3. I use the FSC in a network! No
4. FS Commander and Database Manager Version 9.7 build 21
5. AIRAC Cycle Navigraph 1710
6. Aerosoft download version
7. Operating System (Windows 10 Pro)
8. How many monitors are used 2

 

The problem:  I have read many many postings on how to save a flight plan and how to direct FSC to save a program.  It is all understood, I think.   I have several aircraft published by Just Flight that uses .RTE flight plan format.  There is NO tick box for Just Flight nor is there a path listed for Just Flight.  All the the Just Flight aircraft have a flight plan folder listed in Prepar3d. Here is an example:

D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\JustFlight\L-1011 Tristar Professional\FlightPlans

 

So the question is------How do I save a FSC flight plan into the L01011 Flightplans folder in the .RTE format it uses?

You always tell everyone to read the manuel.  I've read it several times.  I still don't get it.

Could you please explain so a simple person like me can understand?

 

Thank you.
