    MSFS Panel Replicas

    Re MSFS2024:

    This addon also provides a native MSFS2024 WASM module and it adds the ability to load streamed facilities from MSFS2024 to enhance GPS waypoint tracking where the native aircraft does not synch properly with the Sim GPS (applies to Garmins only).

    Please see the Quickguide for more installation and data capturing information.

    The capturing process is not flawless and it takes about 15 Minutes - be patient.

    You need to install the WASM module in the 2024 Community folder in order to access most interactions.
    Some aircraft modules have been crafted others may or may not work - too many to test and review (sorry)
    Please let me know if you encounter issues in order to improve the addon.

    Updated for V0.12

    --> PLEASE read the included short guides for an easy and successful start.

    - RERUN the included FacilityDataLoader !!! should fix MSFS2024 issues and collects TACAN information

    - Install WASM module Vx.9 for 2020 and/or 2024 if not done so

    Windows App to be used with the MSFS 2020 Flight Simulator. Works mostly with 2024 but no new native functions.

    • A320NX (FlyByWire) – latest development version
    • A380NX (FlyByWire) – COM display and tuning is limited until fully implemented by FBW
    • A350 (iniBuilds)
    • A320 (Fenix), other Fenix variants may or may not work, not tested
    • A310 (IniBuilds, MS default) - no custom IniBuilds variants are supported, each one is different…
    • B747-8 (MS stock), B787-10 (MS stock) - panels
    • G1000nxi (WT) based aircrafts – AP panels, GCU002, G1000 bezel, mostly working
    • GNS430/530 (WT) based aircrafts e.g. C172 – GCU002 (limited)
    • KAP140 for C172 steam gauge version
    • SR22 (MS stock) – AP panels, GCU479
    • KingAir350 (MS stock + G1000 mod) – AP panels, GCU477
    • Kodiak 100 (SWS) – AP panel GMC715
    • Longitude, TBM930 (MS stock) – AP panel GMC715, support in GCU002 (limited)
    • CJ4 (MS default) – AP panel GMC715, GCU002 (limited)
    • Vision Jet (Ffx) – AP panel GMC715, support in GCU002 (limited)
    • H420 Jet (Ffx) – AP panel GMC715, support in GCU002 (limited)
    • C172 (MS stock steam gauge) – KAP140 AP
    • Blacksquare Bonanza and Baron

    MSFS 2024 features:

    • G1000nxi (WT) based aircrafts – AP panels, GCU002, G1000 bezel, mostly working
    • A350 (iniBuilds)
    •  KAP140 for C172 steam gauge version
    • Vision Jet (MS stock) – AP panel GMC715, support in GCU002 (limited)
    • Vision Jet (Ffx) – AP panel GMC715, support in GCU002 (limited)
    • PC12 and PC24 (MS stock) – AP panel GMC715
    • SR22 (MS stock) – AP panels, GCU479

    The NAV/COM panels can be shown either alone or together with an AP panel.

    Known shortcomings:

    • ALT hold does sometimes not display the correct number but close, the nxi does not communicate the AP state so we need to guess what it really attempts to hold.
    • AP armed states may not exactly match the one in the acft. Display, same reason as above.
    • Transponder / TCAS is not selectable for some aircrafts - limited by the availability of the acft cockpit builder functionality

    May I ask you to report findings with suggestions to improve here or via PM – Thank you!

    Installation:

    • Drop all files from the Zip into a new folder on your disk (Network shares may cause some protection issues depending on your computer settings).
    • Read the quick guide :-)
    • Install the WASM Modules in the Community folder(s) as per Quick guide to be able to use all functionality.
    • Start FS20_Panels.exe and go from there…

    So, I do a lot of military flying and it would be nice to have a military style radio / nav panel that includes a UHF radio. Would this be possible in a future version?

    If you can give me a pointer to a good example I could derive from..
    The functionality usually depends on the aircraft and needs mostly customization if the dev goes further than MSFS basic functionality. So if you also include the intended acft(s). No promise but it sounds feasible.

    I have few problems.
    1. My gamepad stops working when I click on the replica panel. Scrolling seems to work but not the buttons. Interestingly clicking on scrollable items works and doesn't affect gamepad functionality.
    2. The panel selector window gets in the way, would be great if I could directly open the panel I need, maybe from command line.
    3. Need keyboard hotkey to open and close the panel, so that I can hide the panel when I don't need.
    4. Would be nice to have .75 or .5 scales also. It'll be good for small monitors.

    for 1: I grab the input focus when the mouse hovers over an actionable target (button, knob etc) so you don't have to first click and then e.g. scroll.
    and I give it back to Sim when the mouse pointer is outside of any action control- this affects keyboard and it seems gamepads as well.
    I don't know if this should be an option to choose for the user??
    for 2: I have to see if I can hide the main panel as I connect to SimConnect from the main panel and not each of the panels separately
    for 3: Have to see if all works together ...
    for 4: smaller caused distorted panels - tried it once... I just could make the 1:1 smaller for some offending ones (do you have some in mind?)

    I've made it almost how I want it to be using autohotkey. It basically returns focus back to msfs when I click on the fs panel buttons. Also I've setup hotkey to minimize and maximize panel so that I can use it only when I need it. I am using mostly g3000 aircrafts like tbm and hondajet using gmc 715. There are a few bugs, and somethings like autthrottle not working from the panel buttons in hondajet.

    This is truly a game-changer. Are you able to you create a full overhead panel? that would turns a home cockpit into a real experience?

    Thank you :)
    re Overhead panel - technically maybe possible. I went with the most likely used controls for the time beeing and tried to still fit them into a reasonable space.
    If you have controls which are used more often and hard to access/look at while piloting the aircraft let me know. My piloting experiences are rather small hence I don't really know where the pain points are.
    But I don't think that I ever will build a complete one.

    Great job!! Is it possible to use the app in a remote computer?

    Thank you..
    as it is an app that connects via SimConnect it should be able to be run on a remote Windows computer but the SimConnect.cfg file needs to be setup in order to do so. I don't have experience neither used it.
    Doc is here:

    :) thank you,
    with regards to the OVH, as it is huge.. what are the items you think would help the pilot mostly beyond the ones available?
    For the FBW I have to check if commands have changed (again) for the next version anyway.

    I'm sorry, problem solved, the image was off screen.
    Solution: temporarily lower the Windows screen resolution, but only to restore the image to the center.
    Great work, thanks

    It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore, “FS20_Panels.exe” loads in the background and doesn't expand anymore, I tried reinstalling several times.

    I tried the addon in MSFS2024 (KAP 140 in Cessna 172). But only briefly. And it went wrong. Some buttons seem to react, but without any reaction to the plane. The SIM lights are green, so there would be a connection here. Too bad. Will the addon be updated to MSFS2024 in the near future?
    I see potential in this addon.

    Thanks for letting us know. MSFS2024 is not yet supported and from what I could see is that some (many) aircraft interactions have changed and need to be reviewed. So far the KAP should... work in 2020 but as said, 2024 seems to be a different beast. Also still work in progress. It may take some time to review and adapt.

    Should work now when the WASM module is installed.
    Let me know if it does not what it should do..
