TinFork 737-200Adv
Erick Cantu, of Vistaliners, Eastern Virtual, Kittyhawk and SGA fame once uploaded the Gmax source files for a lot of his planes. The TinMouse team, Bob Scott, Richard Probst, etc... once assembled a great panel for the Boein 737-200Adv with a lot of bells and whistles. The aircraft models included in the TinMouse package, however, did not have a virtual cockpit. So I took Erick's 737-200Adv source file, patched it up and produced a virtual cockpit model for it. Although initially released for FS9, I always had FSX in mind when making the exterior and interior models. So after I got back into FSX, I've modified even more stuff and released a FSX native model of the aircraft.
As the TinMouse panel is a complex thing, failry old and written in an inaccessble format (C++ instead of XML), panel integration is not perfect and there are a few quirks which the avid pilot should know about. These are outlined in the readme.
There is no coherent manual. All information regarding the features of the virtual cockpit and exterior model is contained in the Readme file, while the aircraft folder contains the original TinMouse manual for the panel and systems. Read both to be able to operate the aircraft!
I'm still writing a manual that is adapted to the TinFork model. But my motivation is very low and thus it will still be a long, long while until completion.
