FS2004 Oil Cooler Shutter

[michaelvader]

Hallo Huub,
hallo the experts,
does any one how to make, or if it exists a switch or lever
to command the oil cooler flaps of the WWII Fighters Messerschmitt Bf109E
on a 2D panel?
The "normal" cowl flaps are not a problem.
But the oil cooler flap on this bird operates only by a virtual lever in the VC.
I want also operate this flap via the 2D panel

Papi,

I thought I would be able to find an .xml file which controlled this lever in the .cab file and function in the panel configuration file. But there wasn't there, so I will have to look further.

Kind regards.

Hallo Huub,

thank you to have a look on to this problem.
I also searched if somewhere in the used gauged this function would be hidden.
I also searched all over FS if this function exist - nothing.
So I supose this function would be hidden in the mdl - but if it would be possible to extract this special function, would it be possible to "translate" it into a functional switch operational in FS2004?
I observed that this function has an paralell function in the trop model - it closes the air intake of the sand filter.
Perhaps it might give some indications
Yours
Papi
