New Vickers VC10 panel, Part 1

File Description:
This is part 1 of two downloads.

This project is based on David Maltby's panel for the Vickers VC10, model available here: www.dmflightsim.co.uk/vickers_vc10.htm.



The project's aim is to enhance the cockpit experience by re-activating numerous gauges, switches and lights that previously had no function. It also introduces some new gauges and windows that are not in the original model. And, to bring the cockpit procedures as close as possible to the real checklists. To this end it contains voicechecklist files, a cockpit briefing and interactions with the cabin crew including a safety briefing.

The cockpit instrumentation has also been brought up to date with modern requirements and practices. And, as well as a number of new additional windows there is also a new night cockpit. The checklists are taken from the original BOAC flight manual and are extremely detailed as they are designed for a three man crew! So, as a single "sim" pilot you will be very busy! I have made well over 100+ additions and changes making this a comprehensive update. The original model was very similar to how one drives a car. That is get in, turn on the ignition and drive off!! You will find this update very different as it intentionally brings you much much closer to the reality of handling a high performance heavy jet especially one as complex as the elegant VC10!

New Vickers VC10 panel, Part 3 "Overnight Maintenance"

File Description:
Before you download this update make sure you have installed "new_vc10_panel_part_1.zip" and "new_vc10_panel_part_2.zip" first.

This update concentrates mostly on two areas. The Engine Fire System and cabin temperature. The Engine Fire System has been extensively modified and is fully operational. It is as realistic as possible allowing you to do both practice fire drills and "real" fire drills. If you encounter a multiple engine fire it will require consumate piloting skill, even on the VC10!! To help you I have redone the speed reference placard. In the previous release the cabin temperature control was not functioning correctly. Now it is.

Heathrow EGLL 2008 Update

File Description:
Since qualifying as a pilot in 1987 I have witnessed many changes at London Heathrow. Indeed as a boy I can even remember the international departures “tent”!! Having said that, for 2008 and the inception of Terminal 5 almost two thirds of the ground movements have been altered. And with close to 700 taxiway signs (it’s a big airport!- with no frame rate loss) you will no longer miss your turning!

Heathrow 2008 Update missing exclude file

File Description:
I have been reminded that I had forgotten to include an exclude for the trees and houses that were in the default aerodrome. If you do not have an exclude please use the attached .bgl file kindly supplied by JR Mondano or alternatively do a permanent fix in your scenery.cfg file as described in the readme.txt file. Sorry for the omission.

New Vickers VC10 Panel, Part 4

Images related to this file:

File Description: This project is based on David Maltby's panel. This update the first in the 50th Anniversary year of the VC10 (there are currently nine still flying) brings to fruition a number of extensive works in progress that have involved almost every gauge! The aircraft now has a fully integrated pressurisation and oxygen delivery system that conforms not only to the Flight Manual but also to ICAO regulations. Therefore cockpit mismanagement can potentially result in hypoxia! Besides this there are also a large number of new additions both in conformity with the Flight Manual and as extra visuals. It's now possible to "see" the Marshaller - There are new speed calls - and whilst you are preoccupied with your checklists the ground staff can be heard going about their business preparing for the flight as indicated also on the Ignition Panel. For a full list of changes view the VC10 Panel Update 4.doc For this latest update thanks must go to Edi Hirsch for his excellent NavInfo gauges and again to the Gurus at FSDeveloper.com for their advice. To install make sure you have installed the previous (linked) files beforehand.

Super VC10 Panel upgrade Part 8.1

File Description:
This additional update for David Maltby's Super VC10 model contains a handfull of small enhancements and tweaks, requiring download of the previous updates 1 to 8. Some small tweaks have been made to the aircraft.cfg and sound.cfg. When the passenger and galley doors are open you will now hear real ambient passenger sounds. The original released sound has been reworked and is also less repetitive. No fake sounds here as they are taken from inside a real VC10! There is also an "Easter Egg". It is dependant on certain conditions and will require some intelligent flying. Enjoy.

Super VC10 Panel upgrade Part 8.2

File Description:
This is an important additional update for David Maltby's Super VC10 model regarding the engines, also requiring download of the previous updates 1 to 8 and 8.1. This update overcomes the bug that Microsoft introduced (left behind) in FS9 with regard to engine ignition (but corrected in FSX). In FS9 engine ignition is hard coded to 22%n2. Not all engines can be modelled in that way so in effect the ignition sequence has to be made to run "outside" the sim. Niot a new concept by any means but it does make the coding much more complex as lots of other factors have to be taken into account. In reality the RR Conway engines light-up at 11-12%n2 with the ignition being held on until about 24%n2. This has now been correctly modelled. The hot start procedure has also been re-modelled to fit the new code. In the process of coding i noticed that one of the engines tends to run a bit on the hot side so keep a watchfull eye.

Super VC10 Panel upgrade Part 8.zip

File Description:
This additional update for David Maltby's Super VC10 model contains a handfull of small enhancements and tweaks, requiring download of the previous updates 1 to 7. Some small tweaks have been made to the air files, aircraft.cfg and sound.cfg. In addition there is a pushback enhancement whereby the crew calls to the ground staff that the parking brake is either on or off "only" when they actually apply or release the parking brake. When the passenger and galley doors are open you will now hear ambient passenger sounds. No fake sounds here as they are from a real VC10! Enjoy. Oh and I almost forgot, a New First Officer!
