Posted earlier mate... Ailias the panel to the default 737. FSX won't show any aircraft that doesn't have a panel defined as it assumes its AI ;-)

Or find a decent proper panel for it ;-)
Even though the 737 is the anti Christ of the aviation world :000: these repaints deserve to be flown with a decent steam driven panel.

Hi Tony,
I've not put her into FSX but for FS9, I've also downloaded the Tinmouse II B737-200 which has a rather nice panel. There's quite a few updates as well as a model pack. However, once done, there's a nice panel there and also an additional aircraft folder for the Kittyhawk B737 with an airfile, panel folder and aircraft config file. As far as I can tell, the Vistaliner is a later incarnation/rename of the Kittyhawk. I've used the cfg and the airfile (a much later date than the vl airfile) and the panel folder merged into the Vistaliner folder. The panel folder just aliases the panel to the Tinmouse. You'll need to rename the kittyhawk airfile to match the vl cfg file or change the vl config to match the kittyhawk airfile. It's quite a bit of work but worth it in the end. Now I've just got to read up everything about how t work it. Did a quick circuit at EGNX and had a few horns blaring at me but got it sussed in the end. First impressions were quite favourable.....................................for a Boeing
The zip files I got from Avsim were :-
tnms2v12.zip
The base aircraft
tnms73mp.zip
The model pack
tnmsv121.zip
Update 1.21
tnmsv122.zip
Update 1.22
tinmouse2_b732_v1_23a.zip
Update 1.23
Search for the first two by file name and for the updates, just search for 'tinmouse update' and you should get them all together along with a v1.24 which I've just found there :roll:
Start with the base aircraft and follow the readme's. Once installed, you'll be able to suss how to alter the VL to point to the TM panel.
Regards
John
