there any one out there who knows how to get a Good instrument Panel for a Curtiss C-46 with the capability to fly (IFR)
I am talking about installed on the panel the following VOR,ADF,
DME, RMI, Bendix King radio system Audio ,NAV1,Nav2,ADF Freq ,
Xpdr,audio,ect you know what I mean, everybody wants to make new paint schemes for the C-46 but nobody wants to come up with a new panel what gives?My daddy was a C-46 Pilot with
(CAT) Civil Air Transport hey all you Air America guys what do you think? (CIA) some buddy help me please . (jaylevine58@hotmail.com)

I got one. Made myself. Just added Bendix King radios and HSI and adf.
Below are the relevant lines from my panel .cfg.
Pls note that I used a payware Caranado Cessna radioset and HSI, and that in the blurry VC, both are NOT readable!

I reworked the panel .bmp's with paintshoppro to facilitate the extra gauge(s).

This info is ofcourse not complete, but hopefully it will give you a push in the right direction...

jlevine72,

I have Mike Stone's C-46, and it's IFR-flyable, if you remember that the DME is for the #2 VOR. His panel is what you would expect to find in a 1950/60s C-46. In fact, his sim is one of the best flying models I have.
