//DeHavilland DHC6 Twin Otter Panel for FS2000 PRO Version 2
//by Fred Choate
//November 3, 2000
This panel was created for use with the true turbo prop twin otter air file that is included in this package. It will work with any air file that is based on the turbo prop from FS2000. YOU MUST HAVE THE PRO VERSION OF FS2000 for this panel to work.
I want to thank Barry Blaisdell for the use of some of his gauges. The gauges designed by him are listed below, and are his property, used by permission.
Also, special thanks for the work of Fred Banting, Dragonflight Design, and Yannick Lavigne. Dragonflight Design did the two oil pressure warning lights. Yannick has provided me with alot of inspiration with his beaver panels, and also provided me with a fine photograph of a real twin otter panel that I used to create the bitmap. Thanks to all these gentlemen.
The panel is designed for ease of use.....it is not the exact layout of the twin otter. This version is pretty close to the real thing, and includes a new pop-up panel for the throttle and switches, as well as a fuel pop up window for selecting your tanks and viewing your quantity.
INSTALL:
TO USE THIS PANEL, YOU MUST HAVE A TURBO PROP BASED AIRFILE!
Copy the contents of this archive into the panel folder of the aircraft you wish. Put the gauges in the main GAUGES folder of FS2000. That is it.
To use the airfile that is included in this archive, you must edit the aircraft.cfg file located in the main directory of the aircraft....
Extract the included airfile (MTAIRdhc6.air) to the main directory of the twin otter of your choice. Then open the aircraft file using Notepad and change the "sim=" line to "sim=MTAIRdhc6". There is an example below:
[fltsim.0]
title=(This will be the title of your plane)
sim=MTAIRdhc6
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
Once that is done, you should be able to fire up the sim and fly your heart out.........
Please enjoy this panel, but remember that it is FREEWARE, and may NOT be sold. The bitmap is copywrited by Fred Choate. Please ask permission before changing it. Feel free to upload this file in its original form to your website as long as it is offered for free.
