This is a full package (aircraft and panel) and it is for FS 2004, but it should work also in fs2002, except the GPS, to be displayed at 1024x768 resolution or more. We also provided two textures, one with 'svastika' and one no 'svastika'.

HISTORY
========
The German Messerschmitt based his design on the experiance he had gained with the Bf 108. It was an excellent lightweight plane, which was superior to the modern fighter planes used by some nations at that time. So Messerschmitt optimized the fuselage, reduced the weight and fitted this design with the most powerful engine available at that time. A small amount of these machines was also flown by the Repubblica Sociale Italiana "ANR" towards the end of WW2.
Thank you for downloading this package, I hope you'll enjoy it.

IMPORTANT!
===========
You MUST also insert the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in the Main FS2004 folder, othrwise you will experience a FS crash!!

FREEWARE!
=========

FOREWORD
========
The model has been created by myself and my collegue Capt. Giovanni Quai with Abacus FSDS_v2: it features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, spinning wheels, animated canopy, rotating pilot's head on rudder command.
There is also an additional texture 'NO SVASTIKA' for those who don't like that symbol to be displayed.
The near photographic panel has been created almost entirely from scratch, using material found in the net , with some modifications needed for....sim-sake and includes the most part of the gauges expressly programmed by myself, to get a panel ...'As real as it gets', plus a bunch of CFS default gauges and the ME109 CFS sounds. There is also a very simple Virtual Cockpit, with working essential gauges.
By the way, the real a/c did not carry a VSI, so don't be disappointed if you don't find a Vertical Speed Indicator.

NOTE :
----------
Some buttons and switches in the panel are just there for realism, but they don't work.

INSTALLATION
============

Just unzip this file into your FS2004/aircraft folder and you will find an "ME109_G" folder with the usual subfolders, a 'GougeSound.dll', a 'sound_required.zip' with a couple of .wav files ('click2.wav', 'switch.wav'), and a ME109_Gauges.zip, then operate as follows:

Step 1-Unzip the ME109_Gauges.zip in the main FS2004 'Gauge' folder.

Step 2-Copy/Paste the 'GougeSound.dll' in your main FS2004 folder (if you don't have it yet).

Step 3-Unzip the 'sound_required.zip' file in the main FS2004 'Sound' folder.

I think this should be the end of the installation procedure.

...Have happy flights!
