To use the new version and make the Team SDB CVN-65 Enterprise package work in the 64-bit environment of P3D v4 is easy to do.
Please note that the file structure has changed for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions with this update so be sure to read the manual. Actual use of the gauge features will not be covered in this post,
only how to get it working so that the Advanced features of the Enterprise package work again. Despite our having helped translate the French language manual to English, gauge use should be discussed
in other forums such as sim-outhouse, pilote-virtuel, avsim, flightsim, simviation, etc.
So...
Download the zip installation file from here: http://royalefrenchnavy.restauravia.fr/ ... ns.htm#Gau.
Select the version for 64-bit.
If you want to use the entire gauge (who wouldn't -- it's awesome) follow the included install instructions to the letter. Installation has changed from the previous 32-bit FSX versions.
If you have already used the gauge in FSX and have added your own ships, FLCP, or GOTO spots or have used the built-in ability to customize all settings then you will need to manually update the
RFN_Carrier.xml and RFN_Parameters.xml files in this new version. These two files are now located in a "\gauges\RFN_Resources" folder. The sound files have also been moved to a "\gauges\RFN_Sounds" folder.
If you only want the Advanced features of the Enterprise package to work then you don't need to install the gauge, just the files. But they do still need to be loaded by the panel.cfg of
whatever aircraft you are using.
At the end of the [Vcockpit01] section of "panel.cfg" add these lines:
Code: Select all
//-------------Gauge Carrier Operations-------------------
gauge81=RFN_CarrierGauge_64!TACAN_Navigation, 0, 0, 0, 0, Nav2
gauge82=RFN_CarrierGauge_64!CustomCatapult, 0, 0,
gauge83=RFN_CarrierGauge_64!Approach_Ctrl, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0
//--------------------------------------------------------
// Change Nav2 to Nav1 in the gauge81 line above to use NAV1.
// To activate the white lights power calling, modify the last criteria (0.0) in line 83 (See Section 4-7 for more info).
