Thank you for download this panel. I designed it with several photos
of the real F-27 cockpit and it was my effort to create it as real
as possible. This Panel is equipped with a simple style Autopilot
at it was used in the early senenties. Normally Fokker used a Century
Autopilot with a separate Altitude Gauge. To place all necessary
Instruments in one Panel Bitmap I decide to use this type of Autopilot.
There is no LOC and GS holding with this AP but this is not wrong or
a mistake from me. Only newer Autopilots have this function.
Don't search for a Throttle Gauge - there is no one included. I think
it is not necessary because you find all you need in the Engine
Instruments.


Note:

I couldn't test the panel with the monster 3D-card. So I don't know
if it works correct with it. Sorry :-(


Installation:

You need to have installed Flight Simulator FS98 Converter.
Unzip the gauges.zip to your Flightsim main Gauges directory. If
you already have some of the gauges you don't need to delete them.
They should be the same.
Unzip the Panel.zip and replace the panel.cfg file to the panel
folder of your favourite aircraft. For more reality use a F-27.
Unzip aircond.wav and click.wav into the sound directory of FS98
(not into the sound directory of your aircraft!).

Some of the required gauge files are shipped with FS98. If you renamed
or deleted one of these original files you could send me an Email with
a short description, which instrument not correct work. I will send you
another config and gauge file.
