Alternate PANEL for the FS2000 default LEAR 45
by Allen Lavigne (alavigne@fundy.net), nov 16, 1999




THIS IS A FREEWARE MODIFICATION of the Microsoft default LEAR 45 panel bitmaps to allow for a larger cockpit view enabling easier visual landings.

---------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:



choose ONLY ONE of the next two methods... ONLY!


METHOD ONE: (for aircraft OTHER than the default LEAR45)
a) Copy the files in PANEL.short into the panel folder of the target aircraft.
b) Copy the gauges into the main GAUGES folder of FS2000


THIS NEXT METHOD IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY....ONLY

METHOR TWO: (for using the default LEAR45, creates another aircraft entry called "LEAR45 - short panel")
a) copy the folder PANEL.short itself into the aircraft folder for the LEAR45
.................the path then becomes: ...FS2000\AIRCRAFT\LEAR45\PANEL.short
b) copy all the gauges into the main GAUGES folder of FS2000
c) re-edit the aircraft.cfg to include the following block: (can copy and paste this block after the first [fltsim.0]'s block)

[fltsim.1]
title=LEAR45 - short panel
sim=Lear45
model=
panel=short
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Lear45_check
kb_reference=Lear45_ref
atc_type=Lear
atc_id_enable=1
atc_id=JAL197
editable=0


-----------------------------------------------

ISSUES:

The night lighted panel is an overlay and is activated manually by clicking the toggle called LIGHTS on the right side under the STROBE light switch. This is a compromise and is not perfect, its brilliance depends on the luminescent setting of your monitor.
