This free add-on was designed for Microsoft FS9/FS2004 A Century of Flight only.


This is a beta release of the TinMouse main gauge file only.  To install, place the included b732adv.gau file into <your FS9 main folder>\aircraft\fsfsconv\panel.B732adv 

This is a beta release...it has not been thoroughly tested.  If unacceptable misbehavior occurs, replace the b732adv.gau file with the previous gauge file from V1.23

Additions/changes to the panel since the V1.23 (Dec 2006) release of the original TinMouse panel:

1.  Now supports the CIVA INS version 1.5 and later.  Users of the CIVA INS must upgrade to V1.5 or later for the integrated CIVA functionality to work.  (http://simufly.com/ins/)  CIVA V1.40 and earlier will no longer work with the panel after this update.

2.  RMI DME recoded for smooth operation.

3.  FSUIPC control for Yaw Damper switch.  Programming a button or key to set FSUIPC offset 6D11 to value 4 will result in toggling the Yaw Damper switch.  Provided by request for easier sim management of X-wind landings.

4.  Autobrakes recoded.  The ".>" key is now hard coded for wheel brakes.  User may also use FS or FSUIPC-assigned axes.  Still perhaps a bit flaky, but better than before.

5.  Various mods to ground spoiler performance.  Should work OK in external view now, but not tested enough to know for sure.  Eliminated some of the odd aileron/spoiler movements during ground operations.
