Crew Announcements
by Jim Johnson
based on gauges from a panel by Bruce Benaway

Questions and comments welcome to jim.johnson71@verizon.net

This ZIP contains gauges, sounds, and the FSsound.dll module for FS2002 Crew and Cabin announcements. This gauge set uses DFD gauges with voice recordings from an actual flight from start to finish and. I have included Seat Belt and No Smoking switches as well. I created a .bmp and .cfg which can be easily added to any panel on any aircraft.

Installation:

**NOTE: BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES**

1. Place all files from the "gauges" folder into the MAIN FS2K2 Gauges folder.

2. Place all files from the "sound" folder into the MAIN FS2K2 Sound folder.

3. Place the FSsound.dll file from the "modules" folder into the MAIN FS2K2 MODULES folder. Follow directions in the modreadme.txt file if you have problems.

4. Go into the Panel directory of the aircraft you want to add the gauges to. It should look something like this:

C:\Program Files
     \Microsoft Games
	 \FS2002
	     \Aircraft
	         \Panel

5. Copy annc.bmp into this directory. Make SURE that you COPY the file rather than moving it. You will need it later.

6. Next open the panel.cfg file. Under [Window Titles] insert the following as the last window. XX=Next available window #:

windowXX=Announcements

7. Insert the following text below all of the other window information. XX=The number you gave the announcements window in the last step:

[WindowXX]
file=annc.bmp
size_mm=110
position=0
visible=1
ident=ANNOUNCEMENTS_PANEL

gauge00=HGHB_NO-SMOKING,  020,9,20,20
gauge01=HGHB_SEAT-BELTS,  060,9,20,20
gauge02=dfd_soundsw1!snd_sw1,  005,33,6,12
gauge03=dfd_soundsw2!snd_sw2,  015,33,6,12
gauge04=dfd_soundsw3!snd_sw3,  025,33,6,12
gauge05=dfd_soundsw4!snd_sw4,  035,33,6,12
gauge06=dfd_soundsw5!snd_sw5,  045,33,6,12
gauge07=dfd_soundsw6!snd_sw6,  055,33,6,12
gauge08=dfd_soundsw7!snd_sw7,  065,33,6,12
gauge09=dfd_soundsw8!snd_sw8,  075,33,6,12
gauge10=dfd_soundsw9!snd_sw9,  085,33,6,12
gauge11=dfd_soundsw10!snd_sw10,  095,33,6,12

8. Repeat for all a/c you want this added to.


I have included a sample of how this would look on the default B737 panel. If you want to use it on the default 737, just copy everything into the Panel folder and overwrite.

The panel.txt file contains ONLY the text code to paste into the panel.cfg files so it's easier to copy.
