Modifying AIRCRAFT.CFG files for use with this panel
If you are using a DC-7 flight model other than the latest California Classic one, there are 4 sections in the aircraft.cfg file that have 
  to be modified, they are the [fuel], [propeller], [Radios] and [hydraulic_system]. Copy and 
  paste the data below into appropriate sections in the aircraft.cfg 
  file, overwriting the original. Please note this is the aircraft.cfg 
  file, not the panel.cfg. You might want to make a backup of the original  
  aircraft.cfg file so you can return to your previous panel 
  if so desired. And here is the data :

Refer to the supercharger.txt file in the Supercharger folder of this zip file if you want the supercharger gauge to actually increment the Manifold Pressure.  You must edit the plane's aircraft.cfg file to do this. Note that if you make 
this change the plane will NOT fly any more accurately - this change only forces you to throw the switches to go to high altitude, which is done automatically in the flight model now. Note also that you must have FSUIPC installed (unregistered free version is fine).
