Instructions
Dramatically Increase the
realism of your Cessna 172 flight by adding outboard control panels in
place of point and click Mouse or keyboard input.
You can EASILY
Add 8 Toggle Switches to your Microsoft Flight Simulator
FS2000, FS2002, FS2004, FSX, X-Plane
ect.
Sense the realism of flipping a toggle
switch to turn your 'Fuel Pump' On or Off.
Or press a Button to
Display you GPS or Radio Shack on-screen.
With this 'Avionics Switch Panel',
you can do just
that.
The USB Interface is mounted in an eye pleasing
Gray Plastic case.
The USB Cable is Approx. 8.0 feet
long
Testing Your Interface (Windows
XP)
After unwraping your Switch Panel, you
might want to test the device on your computer to make sure of its
operation and its compatibility with your OS. In this example, I'll use
a computer running Windows XP. With your computer Booted-up; LEFT click
on the 
icon located at the bottom left half corner of
the screen; then bring the cursor to CONTROL PANEL (Left
Click).
With the Control Panel showing, click
on GAME CONTROLLERS as seen below.
When
clicked, you will now be greeted with a list of USB Joystick
Controllers. The one we are interested in at the present time is USB
JOYSTICK. Click to highlight this Item.
Then
by Clicking PROPERTIES a new window will be displayed.
Now
Flip each of the 8 Toggle Switches. Not only will the LED Light but you
will see a 1/4 second flash of the corresponding "RED"
Button.
The #9 and #10 Buttons can be activated by
installing the optional Parking Brake or
Carb Heat Controller.
Installing the Interface to the FS2002
Flight Simulator
Load
and RUN your Copy of FS2002 (or FS2004)
When Runing CLICK on
'Settings'
Then
CLICK on 'Assignments'
Then
CLICK on 'Joystick' and DELETE any Default settings made by FS2002 (or
FS2004)
Finally,
CLICK on 'Buttons/Keys' and DELETE any Default settings made by FS2002
(or FS2004)
Now using Flight Simulator's 'ASSIGN' window assign the
10 buttons now connected to the INTERFACE to any function listed in the
'Settings/Assign' window.
For users of FSUIPC, the Avionics Switch Panel can
also be programmed to any of the 100+ functions found with
FSUIPC.
That's all there
is to it!
