FSX panel option to insert a Horch military vehicle and 3 gunnerpositions into the Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant from Kazunori Ito (requires: me323e2.zip). This huge transporter was originally a glider giant. Later a version was equiped with six 990 HP engines. This aircraft was able to carry a payload of 11 tons.
With this panel features you can change from the pilots seat to the cargoroom. With key-commands you can insert a Horch car, start its engine and move it trough the cargo door outside. Additional there are 3 gunner positions, which can be manned and rotated. Flackclouds or target hit effects can be turned on per switches at all gunstations. Additional cameras allows 3 external views. Configuration and bitmaps from Erwin Welker

INSTALLATION:

1. Download and and install the Me323E2 first.
2. Keep the original panel and copy all the files from the folder "Me323E2" into the folder of your airplane and overwrite.
3. Edit the aircraft.cfg and copy the configuration lines from the file "camera-light-smoke-config" into the original. Please add the lights to the original lights, insert cameras and smokesystem somewhere

PANEL USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
(Enjoy my new features)

How to display the views with the car and guns?

1. toggle with S-key to aircraft-views
2. when you read in the upper right corner "Cargoroom Front_Open with Shift E"
3. toggle with A-key until you read in the upper right corner "Cargoroom_For Horch Kübelwagen_Shift 6"
-- do that and now you will insert the car into the cargoroom. Start the engine with the button at the right.
-- with the the key command "Control Backwards" you can move the car through the front door out of the airplane.
At the ramp you can lower the car with the the key command "Shift Backwards"
4. toggle with A-key until you read in the upper right corner "Reargunner_Shift 5"
-- do that and now you will look reardwards, handling the maschine gun. With the coolie hat of your joystick you can rotate to left and right, you can raise or lower the elevation angle also. You can fire the gun or turn on the flackcloud-effects with the switches. Target hit you will get with the I-key.

Urgent!!!!!!!!!!

Attention !!! : The sound switches (switch14_O!switch, 308,676,25,15, M-60.wav[100] might probably cause a hang up of the Flightsimulator, after changing the actual airplane to another aircraft, caused by this buttons, which activates the special sounds. After restarting the flightsimulator everthing works fine again.
If it disturbes you, then don't hesitate and delete all those lines or better disable it by setting 2 slashes ahead of the line //.
