This Bombardier BD-700 is painted in a fictional livery. I will be painting more Global Expresses in the future. The BD-700 is one of my favorite corporate / business jets and is truly one of the best business jets on the market and surpasses all competetors of the same class, in nearly every category. While using the same engines as the Gulfstream, it flies faster and farther than the Gulfstream IV.
The panel is hand drawn by me and utilizes most of the same gauges as my Hawker 800XP panel. I try to stay with standardized gauges with my panels to reduce FS98 Gauge folder size. This panel offers good frame rate and visibility and doesn't use any extra BMP's since this reduces frame rate. Several photos from airliners.net were referenced for accuracy.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download to a temporary folder, then move to your FS98 Aircraft Folder.
Move gauges into your FS98 gauges folder, and you decide whether to say "yes" to replacing file with this one. My panels will utilize most of the same gauges to reduce memory used / Gauge folder-file size. I usually keep the newer gauge.
WINDOWS-XP users may find that having any two of the same aircraft in the FS98 Aircraft file will both appear with the same textures. Remove one aircraft and place it in another folder of your choice, or create another folder and name it something like "aircraft-extra" and place it in your FS98 folder and it will appear just below your FS98 Aircraft folder. Then put one of the BD700's in that folder and restart FS98.
