INSTALLING THE BENDIX/KING SILVER CROWN STACK

This archive contains eight Bendix/King instruments gauges for FS2002:
AUD_Bendix_KMA26.gau        - Audio panel KMA 26
GPS_Bendix_KLN89B.gau       - GPS KLN 89B receiver
NAVCOM1_Bendix_SC_KX155.gau - NAV1/COM1 KX 155 transceiver
NAVCOM2_Bendix_SC_KX155.gau - NAV2/COM2 KX 155 transceiver
ADF_Bendix_KR87.gau         - ADF KR 87 radio
DME1_Bendix_SC_KR87.gau     - DME1 KN 64A system
DME2_Bendix_SC_KR87.gau     - DME2 KN 64A system
XPDR_Bendix_SC_KT76A.gau    - Transponder KT 76A Silver Crown

With this gauges you can build a completely IFR radio stack of the somewhat 
older Bendix/King Silver Crown series as descripted below.

Make a backup copy of the panel.cfg file before you make any changes.
Edit the panel.cfg file of the aircraft you want the Bendix SIlver Crown radio
stack to use with.

If you want to replace an existing radio panel, here is an replacement example
for the FS2002 default C172:

...
//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window01]
Background_color=2,2,2 
size_mm=100,176
window_size_ratio=1.000  
position=8
visible=1
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL
window_size= 0.372, 0.932
window_pos= 0.636, 0.068

gauge00=AUD_Bendix_KMA26!AUD_Bendix_KMA26,  0,0,100,19
gauge01=GPS_Bendix_KLN89B!GPS_Bendix_KLN89B,  0,19,100
gauge01=NAVCOM1_SC_Bendix_KX155!NAVCOM1_Bendix_SC_KX155,  0,51,100
gauge03=NAVCOM2_SC_Bendix_KX155!NAVCOM2_Bendix_SC_KX155,  0,81,100
gauge04=DME1_Bendix_SC_KN64A!DME1_Bendix_SC_KN64A,  0,111,100
gauge05=ADF_Bendix_KR87!ADF_Bendix_KR87,  0,131,100
gauge06=XPDR_Bendix_SC_KT76A!XPDR_Bendix_SC_KT76A,  0,151,100
...

If you want to have the Bendix Silver Crown radio stack in a separate window,
you have to append the panel.cfg with a new window number:
a. Under [Window Titles] find the highest Window0x entry
        Window0x=is the lastwindow

Add the following line after the highest window number x
        Window0y=Bendix radio stack        

If the last window number x is Window02, make the new window number y Window03.

b. Add the following block of text about two lines after the end of the block
of text for the last window number Window0x:

If the last window number is [window02] window y is [window03]
//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window03]
Background_color=2,2,2 
size_mm=100,176
window_size_ratio=1.000  
position=8
visible=1
ident=RADIO_STACK_PANEL
window_size= 0.372, 0.932
window_pos= 0.636, 0.068

gauge00=AUD_Bendix_KMA26!AUD_Bendix_KMA26,  0,0,100,19
gauge01=GPS_Bendix_KLN89B!GPS_Bendix_KLN89B,  0,19,100
gauge01=NAVCOM1_SC_Bendix_KX155!NAVCOM1_Bendix_SC_KX155,  0,51,100
gauge03=NAVCOM2_SC_Bendix_KX155!NAVCOM2_Bendix_SC_KX155,  0,81,100
gauge04=DME1_Bendix_SC_KN64A!DME1_Bendix_SC_KN64A,  0,111,100
gauge05=ADF_Bendix_KR87!ADF_Bendix_KR87,  0,131,100
gauge06=XPDR_Bendix_SC_KT76A!XPDR_Bendix_SC_KT76A,  0,151,100

Use Window0y with y being the next number after the highest Window0x in your
panel, in the example we use Window03.

With this example radio stack you don't need the DME gauge and the localizer OMI
gauge in the default C172 main panel. Look what I've done with the default C172
main panel to delete the OMI and DME gauges:

Save your panel.cfg file.
Copy the *.gau files from the archives in your FS Gauges folder.
Copy the *.wav files from the archive in your FS Sound folder.
Copy the *.ttf file from the archive in your Windows Fonts folder.
Run FS with the aircraft you have made the changes in the panel.cfg file.

Enjoy it.
