License: Freeware Panel and American 737-800
Sim: Microsoft 2000
The Aircraft was painted using windows 98 paint program using Aluminum textures from the
samples I have Included, the paint program didn't have all of the paint colors in the aluminum samples so I was limited to only four different shades of colors. I used some of the same colors and techniques from David Budds American 737-200 of which I was also limited because he had alot more pixels to work with.
This panel is my first to really make I've flown alot of diff. panels and had
good and bad ones first I say don't ever use that gear wind in "my view" for it creates
problems with not stopping its sound! I finally never put that in ever again hit pause once the sound never stops in fs 2000 / I really like my out side views when I can fly in the
spot view and cut off auto pilot and land without changing views and I have for sure
its cut out because the light is out when I Land w/out auto pilot.
Also I made a VOR 2 so that you can fly IFR pretty easy and also you can rotate bearing
on the HSI to find out where you are using VOR and ADF When I fly I always Fly IFR I am a real pilot also in really life so it is really just like flying the real Instruments its easy but can be pretty pissing off sometimes / I also like the VOR 1, VOR 2, on the ADF gauge set it to read only VOR's since the ADF is in the 2 HSI's plus my extra VOR 2 in the floating view really good for IFR.
The extra DME and radios are really good for long flights you can set the auto pilot to fly
VOR to VOR and you can keep tracked of where you are at and when you need to change freq.
also you I assume you are in the spot plane view.
Also I find really important is using the .Air files with bernardini's planes you can down
load from fs.com , you have to change the Aircraft.cfg file pretty easy
once you figure it out the plane flies so much better like a dream come true By: Kevin Sison
just type his name and you can get the .Air files at fs.com
Also the right rear side view only seems to work w/ bernardini's planes cause you look out
side the window and you can't see the airplane wing its like its gone thanks alot to bernardini's planes really!
I made this same panel it is 738dld5b.zip and I forgot to add three Instruments in the gauges zip file of which I have Included in this set of gauges, most people would have them if they had the captains panel and the tripanel anyway.
I've had a few E-mails "If this panel would work in Flight Simulator 2002" I really don't
see why it shouldn't, but I don't have the flight Simulator 2002 yet cause I'm broke $ no cash to get it yet but I can't wait to get it someday soon. So if you have the panel, see if it does work in 2002 and tell me if it does and comments about my panel.

Also another problem that I was trying to fix with this panel is I would get Errors when switching aircraft it doesn't happen all the time but it does happen, I tried taking Intsruments out and I was getting Errors from even Microsofts OAT gauges, from which I just got even more pissed. I was going to call Microsoft Support to find out why I was getting these Errors but I concluded that: "It's more trouble than its worth".
ONE REALLY IMPORTANT THING IS WHEN THE MY PANEL FIRST YOU SEE IN YOUR PLANE IT IS THE VIEW
LOOKS ALL TOO WRONG! I HAVE TRIED TO FIX THIS WITH NO HOPE, CANT SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY SO I STOPPED TRYING TO FIX. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THE MOUSE POINTER AND DRAG THE VIEW DOWN
TO A LITTLE SPOT I HAVE MADE BY THE PARKING BRAKE I'VE ALSO MADE IT SO YOU CAN SEE AT NIGHT
ALSO NOT MUCH OF A PROBLEM YOU JUST ONLY HAVE TO DO IT ONCE BEGINNING THE FLIGHT OTHER THAN
THAT IT'S CAUSE NO PROBLEMS.
I'd like to thank myself first: I spent about 3 weeks of 70 hours a week painting this aircraft which I did with just the paint from windows 98 which really sucks! but was able to create a really good American Airlines 737-800 by: Donald L. Derwin
The .Air 737-800 file from Manny Osias refined by Kevin Sison.
The Aircraft was first made by Sandro Bernardini repainted by David Randolph from that I did
the pretty much all after deleting some of which didn't look good to my artististic talent of it Donald L. Derwin and credits from The Aluminum textures by who ever this is
NWVA0670@hotmail.com
And Id really like to thank David Budd for his excellent model of the American 737-200 which kind of inspired me and helped me with a good example of making Aluminum aircraft look good.
Also Id like to thank: John Taft , for making the first picture of the panel I put alot of work fixing it and tossed alot of the gauges and kept some also in the panel plus the really cool FPDA sounds when landing.
Id like to thank: Richard Probst, for the right rear side view I modified so I can see the real flight simulator's wing as in real virtual flight, not just a fake virtual wing.
and thanks again to Mr. Probst for some of the gauges in the panel.
Alot of thanks to Microsoft for making the gauges and the flight simulator and alot of Thanks to SurClaro and having an awe'sme web site.
I hate to make restrictions, but unfortunately there are too many people who
only looking for possibilities to make money from our great hobby.
