This panel was made for the Boeing 747-400, It has 2D side veiws so that it will work with the Meljet and Opensky 747's. There is also a Panel.cfg file that removes the 2D veiws so that this panel can be used with the default 747. Just rename Panel_MS.cfg to Panel.cfg.

Install the panel folder into the aircraft folder you wish to use this panel with. Install the contents of the gauges folder into the main FS2004 Gauges folder. Make sure that the radio section of the Aircraft.cfg for the aircraft you are useing the panel with reads as such:

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 0
Com.2 = 1, 0
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1 = 1, 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1

Also insure that the autopilot section has a value like so:

yaw_damper_gain = 1.0


You must have a registered version of FSUIPC in order for the TCAS/Radar gauge to work.





First, Credits.

Go to Gerard Lafaye for the inspiration to do this panel and the use of a couple of his gauges.

I would also like to thank Eric Marciano for his suberb radar gauge.



I would like to apologize for not listing all the wonderful gauge programmers, without whom, no aircraft panel would be possible. I have downloaded literally hundreds of panels in search of the gauges I feel best fit any particular application, so I forget who all the credit for such gauges should go to!. If you see something and feel you should be given the gauge credit for it, please contact me and I will amend this readme.


Special thanks to Jorge 'eko' Salas for his fantastic Icons and Switchs.
