Hey there,

I read throught your instructions and i have got up to the bit where u go into fs9, then to my airbus plane and to its panal folder but in my panel folder is a 1KB Word document named Panel. When I open it it has about 6 words -
[fltsim]
alias=b737_400\panel.

Am i doing something wrong?

No,you are doing nothing wrong Nope
The Airbus you have did not come with a panel,so fs9 shares the default 737 panel(called alias)
I recommend you you d/load another panel and use that
Try avsim for "greg737" to get you going(its got crew calls 😎 )

Then just put the sounds into the main fs9 Sounds folder the fssound.dll into the modules folder and the gauges into the gauges folder and the panel into your Airbus folder(overwrite the other panel)

Now open the word pad in panel and follow the instructions you
have for the wing views or copy and paste this into the panel notepad
(overwrite everything) ➡

If you dont like that panel then try and get one without side cockpit views
as these have bitmaps of the side views,so to see the wings you have to delete all refference to the from the config file
