// FS2004 Panel
// Panel for FS2004, by Ken Mitchell
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.
To use in FS2002, simply rename "Panel_fs2k2.cfg" to "panel.cfg".
This panel was made for the MD80 series aircraft, I highly recomend Stewart-Global Aircraft (SGA) aircraft, their site is http://sgair.net/. I do suggest that you make the following changes to the aircraft.cfg file so all the gauges work right.

First, Credits.
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: Chris Koegler and Ralphs Panel Shop for there fine gauges used in this panel.
Special thanks to: Top Avionics
and Tony D'AMBROSIO for there fine gauges used in this panel.
Another special thanks to Jorge 'eko' Salas for his fantastic Icons and Switchs.
Some credits I know of:
Dai Griffiths for his Dragonflight Design Gauges as well as his invaluable help with my attempt at gauge programming
