1900C

Starting with a fresh install of the 1900C into FS9 (no liveries):

1. Copy the following full folders (this assumes you are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games or wherever you have your FS9 and FSX install folders)

Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\PMDG EXPRESS B1900C
Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\PMDG EXPRESS B1900C-Cargo
Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\PMDG EXPRESS B1900C-Freight

to

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes

2. Copy the following files from the folder Flight Simulator 9\Effects

fx_beacon_pmdg_b1900.fx
fx_navgre_pmdg1900.fx
fx_navred_pmdg1900.fx
fx_pmdg_1900ccabin.fx
fx_pmdglogo1900.fx
fx_strobe_pmdg1900.fx

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects

3. Copy these files from Flight Simulator 9\Gauges\

PMDG_B1900C.gau
Cessna208.gau

to

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges

4. Open up the aircraft.cfg file in each of the three PMDG EXPRESS B1900C folders within Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes

Find the [fltsim.0] and [fltsim.1] sections at the top of the file. Within each is a line that reads:

ui_manufacturer=Beechcraft-PMDG Express

Copy the three lines below and paste them over top of the above line in all three cfg’s, overwriting it.

ui_manufacturer=Beechcraft
ui_typerole="Twin Engine TurboProp"
ui_createdby="PMDG"

5. Start FSX and select one of the 1900C variants – the sim will give you a warning about unsigned gauges/modules – just click through it and tell it not to warn you again.

6. Go fly!

1900D

Is it possible to make the 1900D's VC as smooth as the 1900C's?

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:16:44 GMT

Unfortunately no. The 1900C acted as a preview of our custom smooth VC technology that appears in the 747-400 Queen of the Skies product. It would require reworking of the entire panel to give the technology to the older 1900D.
