Aerosoft Beaver P3DV4 Panel Merge

[Postbaer61]

For all, who miss their AS Beaver in P3DV4.

There are the following steps, to get the beaver panel working.

1. Install or copy and paste the AS Beavers in P3DV4 / simobject / airplane folder
( beware, only the FSX native models, FS9 models will not work.
Look into your model folder ,if there are one .cfg and two .mdl files)
and their effect files in P3DV4 / effects / folder.

2. copy the content from the defaul "DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2" panel folder
from your FSX installation, or download the Beaver pack (216mb)
from simviation.com for the panel :
https://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=Dehavilland+DHC2+Beaver+Repaints.zip&fil eId=53172

3. paste the content to your "Aerosoft Beaver Standard Wheels"
Panel folder and overwrite.

4. Copy the following text and replace everything
from the [VCockpit01] entry.

Thats it.

Only the checklist gauge won't work,because it's an 32bit application
and the 2D Panel is from the default DHC-2.

I hope it works for you

I believe I have followed the instructions to the letter. I get the dials distorted and showing at an angle.


Edit I appear to have sorted it out. Please ignore.

[okyone]

Worked like a charm! Thanks

[Postbaer61]

Thanks for the feedback, i'm glad it works.


Ulrich

[kdl]

Your information worked very well, thanks!

(Just a basic problem: switch click sounds don't work anymore. Has nothing to do with your infomation. This is most likely a problem of the 32-bit Asc.dll file)

For cockpit clicksounds you need

dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll from
https://www.douglassdawson.ca/

Cockpit Sounds V2 from
https://library.avsim.net/search.php...root&Go=Search

copy the "dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll" and the "CockpitSounds" folder
to your new Beaver Panel and add follwing entrys to the panel.cfg :

under

[Window03]

add the lines
gauge35=dsd_p3d_xml_Sound_x64!Sound, 0, 0, 0, 0, \CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini
gauge36=CockpitSounds!KeyEvent_SND, 0, 0, 1, 0

and under

[Vcockpit01]

add the lines

gauge17=dsd_p3d_xml_Sound_x64!Sound, 0, 0, 0, 0, \CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini
gauge18=CockpitSounds!KeyEvent_SND, 0, 0, 1, 0

that should work

[kdl]

Well, this way it doesn't work for me.
Error: Config File not found ...... \panel\dsd_p3d_xml_Sound_x64.ini

Also wondering , I don't have a section [Window03] in my panel.cfg (so I just copied what you suggested)

Dieter

P.S.
I already copied \CockpitSounds in \gauges folder but didn't help.

[Postbaer61]

panel.zip

Hallo Dieter,

The CockpitSounds folder must be in your AS Beaver Panel folder,
in this is the CockpitSounds.ini and the KeyEvent_SND.xml.
You need only the "dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll" from
Doug Dawsons dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.zip in this Panel folder.
It does not need any more entries in the panel.cfg as
which I have specified here.

The whole content of the "DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2"
Panel folder with his Panel.cfg
must have been copied to the AS Beaver Panel folder.
You can also try the attached Panel.cfg.

Cheers
Ulrich

[kdl]

Thanks for your efforts but it doesn't work for me this way. Even your panel.cfg doesn't give a solution. (strange, isn't it?)

This is what I did now on my P3Dv4 system:
- I copied folder \CockpitSounds in P3Dv4 \gauges folder
- I changed this line (in red):
gauge17=dsd_p3d_xml_Sound_x64!Sound, 0, 0, 0, 0, .\gauges\CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini

Now I have the click sounds back.

Dieter

[Postbaer61]

Strange thing indeed.

I have added cockpit sounds to several aircrafts in this way,
with no problems.

Anyway, you have found your solution, what's crucial.


Ulrich

[gavinc]

This worked great once I used Dieter's adjustment.

Figured out why - the default CockpitSounds.ini file in the zip references the sounds back to .\Gauges\CockpitSounds\soundname.

Easier to move CockpitSounds folder in Gauges folder and change 2 lines in panel.cfg than 20 lines in CockpitSounds.ini file.

Gavin

[Postbaer61]

Thanks Gavin and Dieter

You're right ,

I have in the gauge folder a second CockpitSounds file.
That's why it works for me.

Here a new
Revised cockpit sound installation.

For cockpit clicksounds you Need

dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll from
https://www.douglassdawson.ca/

Cockpit Sounds V2 from
https://library.avsim.net/search.php...root&Go=Search

copy the "dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll"
to your new Beaver Panel and copy the CockpitSounds file
to your P3DV4 gauges folder and
add follwing entrys to the panel.cfg :

under

add the lines
gauge35=dsd_p3d_xml_Sound_x64!Sound, 0, 0, 0, 0, .\Gauges\CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini
gauge36=CockpitSounds!KeyEvent_SND, 0, 0, 1, 0

and under
