Tuning the panel gauges for your aircraft

This is the tricky part. In fact, it is not really complex if you carefully follow the instructions, and it allows you to use this panel with any of your twin-engine aircrafts. Today, only the flap position displays and the stall warning are tunable.

Flap Positions

The E/WD screen can only display 6 flap positions: 0, 1, 1+F, 2, 3, FULL. This gauge shows the flap position relatively to the flap position handled by FS2002. Some aircrafts have various flap values, and some don't even have 6 flaps positions.
To solve this problem, I give you the ability to tune the E/WD gauge so that it works with your aircraft, even if it has a different flap configuration. Follow the instructions:

1) Open the aircraft.cfg file

2) Find the [Flaps.0] section
You should have something like this:

[Flaps.0]
type=1
span-outboard=0.75
extending-time=12.0
flaps-position.0=0
flaps-position.1=7
flaps-position.2=15
flaps-position.3=20
flaps-position.4=35
flaps-position.5=40
damaging-speed=230
blowout-speed=250
lift_scalar=1.0
drag_scalar=1.0
pitch_scalar=1.0
system_type=1

3) Read carefully all the "flaps-position.x" values

4) Open the A320 panel "panel.cfg" file

5) Find the line where the E/WD gauge is defined, it should look like this:

gauge19=A320!E/WD,  722,446,215,192

6) At the end of this line, add all the flaps-position values that you have in the aircraft.cfg file, separated by a "-" (hyphen).
For this example, it should look like this:

gauge19=A320!E/WD,  722,446,215,192, 0-7-15-20-35-40

On initialization, the gauge will get this information, and will display the flaps properly.

 

Stall Warning

The stall warning system works by watching the Angle of Attack value handled by FS2002. In normal flight condition, the value is 32767, and it is going down to 0 as the aircraft gets closer to the stall. By default, a value of 25000 triggers an STALL WARNING alarm.

You can change this if you find that the STALL WARNING appears abusively, when the aircraft is still flying correctly, or inversely if you think that the warning comes too late.

1) Open the panel.cfg file

2) Find the line where the "Warnings" gauge is defined:

gauge05=A320!Warnings,  198,306,31,64

3) At the end of the line, add the AOA value which triggers the STALL WARNING alarm.
For example, if you set it to 22000, the warning will come later:

gauge05=A320!Warnings,  198,306,31,64, 23000

That'it !!
