INTRODUCTION
============
This version is freeware and has been designed to be used exclusively for FSX. The panel is a creation made by me, Pablo Contouris (contoarg16@yahoo.com)
and in case of wishing the use of this panel for its distribution freeware, must communicate with me to obtain the corresponding authorization.
The flight model has its origin in the B737-200 of FFX and I have made some modifications to adapt it to version FSX. Most of the indicators they are elements pertaining to Microsoft Flight Simulator FS2004 and FSX. Some components pertaining were added to third, which were properly authorized.
I must thank for different people who authorized to the use of some gauges that there are including in this panel.
-
Mainly to Bob Scott of Tinmouse II, who gave authorization me to be able to use the BMP of the panel of his B732 project.
- Other authors of gauges who I must mention are: Ken Mitchell for the indicators of the motor (justmitch@charter.net); SPanel for 2 indicators of the motor and www.FS2X.com for the GSP Garmin (fs2xcoma@fs2x.com).
The objective of this panel was the following one.
- To make a panel more the possible similarity to the real one of the B737-200, extending the size of the instruments for its better visualization, the use of the greater Standard possible amount of gauges of good performance and finally to conserve the operative simplicity default of the FSX, that its previous version is much more outpost that.
-
Overhead of the B737-800 was used, that although is not exactly equal, has similarity.
The conflicts of lights correspond to the models of airplanes of previous versions.
-
The GPS Garmin 430 to the effects is used of approached the reality, had that the B737-200 does not have a graphical GPS,
by means of the G430 it is possible to make navigation by GPS without a graphical Vista. Nevertheless also a version is provided to use 500 GPS standard of the FSX.
- The autopilot this based on the version Adv Sperry 177, but is default of FSX B737-800.

Gauges will be within this folder. It does not copy them in the general folder of gauges, unless it is to him of utility in another panel.

The Aircraft.cfg file this located for example in:
