FSX Lockheed L10E Electra

Lockheed L10E Electra. Converted from FS2004 version of Amelia Earharts Electra Modern and Sperry models by Charles Cheung.

INSTALLATION

1. Unzip Lockheed L10E FSX.zip.

2. Copy the folder L10E and the 3 gauge files (if they are not installed) from the FSX Gauges folder into the FSX's Gauges folder.

3. Copy the folder Lockheed L10E_FSDB into the FSX's SimObject\FS9 directory (sub-folder); if you don't have the FS9 sub-folder, create one and add the path in the FSX.cfg file. FSX.cfg is located in somwhere on the C: directory path.

For example:
C:\..\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\
Notes: ".." means your own C drive directory setup; Application Data also have directivariation too!

Example:
[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects\FS9 //<---Added this line *****

4. Copy the Amelia Earhart World Flight folder into FSX's Addon Scenery folder and Add the Scenery Area in FSX's Scenery Library.

5. FSX Flight Plan is included for Amelia Earhart last flight. Copy the files in the folder AE Flight Plan to your Flight Simulation X Files folder.

For FS9 user, you need to go to the sound folder; delete the sound.cfg file and rename the sound.cfg.FS9 to sound.cfg or you can edit the path in sound.cfg yourself to get the DC3 sound. You can also install howland.zip for an enhanced Howland Island; however, you need to remove the file F2_Howland KHAQ.bgl in Amelia Earhart World Flight Scenery folder.

Note: The L10E original Readme files and the AE World Flight scenery Readme are included for proper creditation. Thanks for the original designers (l10eae01.zip & AEL10VC1.zip) of this aircraft and scenery designer (aewfv01.zip). The L10E Instruction Manual is from the original author.

Happy Flying.

MODIFICATION

Some gauges do not work in the 2D panels and the VC of FSX. They were designed for FS98. The gauge files in the gauge folder "L10E" are removed. The faulty gaguaes in the panel.cfg are // out or replaced if other gauges works in FSX are available.

* The main-panel and sub-panel gauge command lines in panel.cfg are re-grouped (for a more rational placement).
* The Panel.Modern main_dig.bmp file is modified for moving the ADF digital readout location.
* Some gauge sizes and loctions are adjusted.

* This modified version works in FSX and Fs9.
- Except in FSX the replaced radio gauges do not respond to mouse click. They do respond to assigned key command.
- Except in FSX the Fuel Tank Selector and the Engine Fuel Selector do not respond to mouse input. They are stuck in the "Left" and "Both" position respectively for lack of key command assignment in FSX. This two switches do repspond to mouse click in FS9! Therefore, you need to refuel often when flying this aircraft in FSX. (I am lack of knowledge in fixing this).

* Virtual Cockpit from Norman Hancock also incorporated. However, the main instruments panel background in FSX does not display properly as in FS9. It needs fixing. (I am lack of knowledge in fixing this).

Combined the "Modern" and "Sperry" models in on airplane folder "Lockheed L10E_FSDB_FS9" to reduces the redundency of airplane files!

* Moved "panel.sperry" to the "L10E Modern" airplane folder.
* Copy the entire [Sim.0] section in the Sperry aircraft.cfg and paste into the Modern aircraft.cfg; change [Sim.0] (Sperry's) to to [Sim.1].
* Delete the "L10E Sperry" airplane.
