Welcome back to this week’s blog post. There is a lot in store for this week, so let’s get started. We put some heavy work into the PMDG 737 cockpit window, and got some panels converted. We will take a look below.
Tracking panel progress
It isn’t easy keeping track of panels and their progress when they are scattered over several blog posts. So, from now on, each blog post will list all of the completed cockpit panels, even if they were mentioned in previous posts. This will make it easier for everyone to keep track of a single list. Here are the finished panels at this point.
- Overhead: ADIRU.
- Overhead: CVR (formerly flight recorder).
- Overhead: Dome lights.
- Overhead: EEC.
- Overhead: Gear.
- Overhead: Oxygen.
- MCP box: Altitude.
- MCP box: Heading.
- MCP box: Speed.
- MCP box: Nav aids (formerly navigation or flight controls).
- MCP box: Vertical speed.
- CDU/FMC.
- Transponder window.
- Trim window.
PMDG 737 cockpit window
We spent a lot of time working on the PMDG 737 cockpit window and came up with some features that make the cockpit panels easier to use. Here is a list of them. Watch the video to see a demo of them at work.
- Search for panels by keyword (F2)
- Focus the panels tree (F3).
- Clear search results (F4).
- Factory reset panels (F5) [see below].
- Rearrange panels (CONTROL+UP/CONTROL+DOWN).
- Sort ascending or descending (Panels tree context menu).
- Save layout (Close the window or panels tree context menu).
We look forward to seeing you for the next blog post. Don’t forget to register for FlightSim expo going on later this month in Houston TX USA. We hope to see you there!
