FSX Boeing 314 Update

Boeing 314 Clipper refinement for FSX Acceleration adds a simple autopilot controlled from the compass icon while preserving the classic flying-boat feel, panel layout, and effects. It updates key configuration and cockpit files for smoother operation and includes reference speeds; requires the original Mike Stone Boeing 314 package (SB314.ZIP).

Boeing 314 Update. An update for FSX Acceleration of the Boeing 314 Clipper by Mike Stone. The author has added a basic autopilot toggled with the compass icon; otherwise it is almost the same as the FS2004 update. You need the original aircraft for this to work (SB314.ZIP). You don't need any other update. By Bob Chicilo.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. After backing up your air, aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files, replace them with the ones in this update. Copy the effect to the main FS effects folder and the picture to the aircraft folder. No need to overwrite anything already there.

If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the panel folders of the default aircraft that have .cab files, to the main FS gauges folder. For some of you the .cab files will be .zip files as .cab files are a type of .zip file.

See [reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg file for operating speeds.

The nav/GPS switch works but does not light up to show that is set for GPS.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.

Bob Chicilo.
