FSX Fokker 60 Standard Panel Modifications

This comprehensive upgrade refines the standard Fokker 60 flight deck for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Emile Lancee, these modifications enable a switchable interface for two navigation systems—either a Delco Inertial Navigation System or a Bendix/King Navigation Management System—and provide the option to operate from either the captain’s or first officer’s seat. The adjustments presented here enhance overall interactivity and ergonomics while retaining the essential configuration of the payware Fokker 60 originally published by Precision Aerobus. Users must own that original release before installing these add-on files.

Refined Panel Configuration and Navigation Choices

The upgraded cockpit environment offers the convenience of a forward-facing panel that can seamlessly toggle to the first officer’s perspective. This arrangement brings added realism for those who wish to simulate multicrew operations. A selectable navigation suite ensures pilots may incorporate either the Delco Carousel INS (often seen in military platforms) or the BendixKing/Honeywell Flight Management System (commonly utilized on commercial regional aircraft).

Interactive Flight Deck Elements

Each upgraded panel incorporates a set of technical refinements:

• Integrated Freeware Navigation Management – Users can choose between a Delco or BendixKing/Honeywell system, both fully integrated into the cockpit layout.
• Extended Mouse Interactivity – Various switches and levers, such as parking brake and control yoke toggles, now include more intuitive mouse handling for quick adjustments.
• Revised Pedestal Panel – Navigation system controls and audio management features have been consolidated to simplify access and reduce cockpit workload.
• Standalone Radio/Navigation Panel – A detachable panel groups all radio frequencies, navigational aids, and audio controls in one place, making them easy to manage.
• Pop-Up Navigation Display – The 2D and virtual cockpit incorporate a mouse-sensitive navigation display that opens a separate window with altitude and route information.
• Modified Central Annunciation Panel (CAP) – Door states and other alerts become more accessible, matching the specifics of this unique Fokker variant in both 2D and VC mode.

Essential Requirements for Installation

These replacement files are intended solely for those who have already acquired the original Fokker 60 payware product from Precision Aerobus. The new files overwrite certain existing components but do not include any proprietary gauges. Pilots seeking to operate this cargo-capable Fokker variant, renowned for its reliable turboprop powertrain and extended fuselage design, will find these enhancements especially useful for a more immersive and operationally diverse flight experience. Remember to back up your original installation before proceeding with any modifications.
