External EasyFMC Panel Updater
Automatic Gauge Installation
In order to run properly, External EasyFMC needs to grab navigation informaiton from the simulator (FSX/P3D/FS2004). This is why a gauge must run in the simulator itself, a gauge called "Data Collector Gauge" that communicates with the External EasyFMC application using FSUIPC.
Run the application through the Windows shortcut (in External EasyFMC folder). Then follow the instructions as shown in the image above:
- The Panel Updater automatically detects the Flight Simulator installation folder, shown in 'location'. If it is wrong or empty, you can specify it manually by pressing the 'Change' button.
- The Panel Updater reads your aircraft collection and lets you select one of them using the manufacturer, model and variation.
- When the aircraft is selected, you can select the look-and-feel (Airbus or Boeing).
- Press the 'Add to Panel' window. As soon as the operation is executed, the Data Collector Gauge (DCG) is added and a confirmation window appears.
Important Notes:
- The Data Collector Gauge (DCG) has no visual appearance. It runs without being visible so it will not impact the panel of the aircraft in which it is added.
- You
must select the look-and-feel that corresponds to the External EasyFMC
look-and-feel you plan to use. The Airbus DCG is designed to work with
the Airbus External EasyFMC, and the Boeing DCG is for the Boeing
version. A mismatch would result in a "Wrong gauge loaded" status (see Operations section for more information)
