Thank you for download this Package.

About the Aircraft:
This Plane is a repaint of Carlos Reyes nice Piper Archer in the
clors of the German D-EGPA which is owned by the LSV Worms. The
Flight Dynamics are completely reworked with the help of Andreas
Iwanowitsch, a Member and Pilot of LSV Worms, who spends a lot
of his time testing them.

About the Panel:
The Panel was designed with a photo of the real D-EGPA Panel and
some Information from Andreas. It was my effort to create it as
the Panel looks like in the real Piper. Unfortunately I couldn't
realize the typical Piper Autopilot. As soon as I found a Gauge
Programmer who is interested in this work (all Gaugebitmaps are
ready to use) I will upload it as an update to this Panel. I do
not want to use the standard Bendix Autopilot so there is no AP
in this Panel at the moment. If you are a Gauge Programmer please
contact me!


Panel Instructions

Well, I think the most things in this Panel should be clear. The
Panel has three additional Windows which could be opened or closed
by Mouseclicks. To close the Sunvisor just click between the left
and right Sunvisor at the top of the Panel. To open the ADF Receifer
click on the right knob of the ADF (the left is for setting the ADF).
To open the ground view with the Fuel selector just click on the
right knob of the Turn Coordinator.
The Master Switch in the Panel works. This means that you couldn't
start or stop the Engine if the Master switch is turned off. The
same with the Fuel Pump switch. Both switches have to be on for a
correct work of all other things.
The warning lights in the center are (from left to right) low volts,
oil pressure and (normally) suction. I could not realize the suction
light so I decide to simulate it with a generator warning lamp.
The real D-EGPA has a Magellan GPS instead of the Bendix GPS I used.
To bring this GPS to work you need to have installed acsgps17.zip
which could be found at SurClaro or on some other servers.


Installation

Just unzip all files to your Flightsim aircraft directory. All folders
will be created automatically. Then unzip the Gauges.zip to your
Flightsim Gauge directory.

ONCE AGAIN!
It's important to have installed acsgps17.zip from Alain Capt!


Credits

I want to thank Carlos Reyes for this great Piper Archer and
Andreas Iwanowitsch for his time to test all new tryings of
my Models and all the Information he gave me about the real
Pa28-181 and the Panel.

Dear Carlos:
I've tried several times to send you an Email and ask you for your
permission to use your original Piper Archer. Unfortunately I
always get error messages back. I hope you are not too annoyed
about that.

Also a great thank to Tery Hill who allowed me using his great window
textures.

And for the Panel I would like to thank:
Alain Capt for the GPS
David Durst for his Radio Readouts
HGHB for the Fuel Pressure and Transponder Gauge
Dai Griffiths for the electrical Panel series
Christian Koegler and Olav M. Roenningen for the Flap Lever
Fred Banting for the Carb-Heat switch
J.L. Stubbs for the Mixture Gauge
Wagner B. Beskow (he made a very nice Pa28-161 Panel) for
some of the used Gauges of his Panel.

Feel free to send feedback or comments. I'm looking forward to
your Mails to know in which part of the world this Package is used.
