I wonder if anyone who has this model has modified the vc panel? Several of the gauges are non-functional and low res and with those fixed it would be a handsome model.

Here you are Roger...As you can see in my panel cfg, I have used a lot of different gauges from various airplanes that I have installed. RD

Excellent! Cheers RD.

Thanks. I tried to make the panel look like a real world 140 that I have flown several hours over the last few years.

RD, I wonder if you could send me your revised panel texture in the base texture folder? If so I'll pm you my e-mail address. As it is I'm seeing your new gauges over my default panel.

Thanks,

Roger.

I owned a '46 C140 and all those gauges would have been forward of the CG datum line. It already had axle extensions to alleviate its nose heavyness.

I am attaching a zip of my panel texture should anyone like a copy. I'm also attaching a photo taken of the real airplane's panel. As you can see I didn't attempt to do the center part in a metallic finish. Also just for fun, I am attaching a photo of the airplane. It was taken by the owner of the airplane from his Maule. His son is flying along with me in the 140.

Still by today a very elegant plane

Thanks for the panel texture

You are welcome :encouragement: . There's an extended bitmap version and a DDS version included. I have both the FS9 and FSX version. I think :dizzy:you use the DDS version in the FSX model. Of course you can do what I did. I have both versions loaded in my FSX version and let the model decide:running: which texture file it wants to use.

Hi RD,

Any chance you can point me to some of the gauges you used. I've got all the FsX default gauges but I think some of them must be Fs9.

Haven't fooled with the little 140 in quite some time. But, your photo brought back memories of creating the panel I would have wanted in a 140, nothing like a real aircraft. But it was fun. I just couldn't get used to the big gap between the top of the dash and the windshield rubber...............I kept imagining the wind in my face....

Here's a shot of my panel.

Now that's a fantastic remake! Any chance you could share?

Regarding that big gap - they released a fix, download it here: http://simflight3d.com/updates/C140_SFS_interior.zip
