INTRODUCTION
Welcome, and thanks for downloading my panel.
This is version 1 of my Douglas C-54 panel.
DETAILS
I would like to thank all the other gauge programmers and repainters
listed at the top of this file; they are really doing the FS community a
service by providing these great gauges. There are a number of gauges used in this panel that I cannot find the designers name for. If you recognise any please write to me and I will ammend the credits. Please forgive me for not asking permission to use them for the above reason. Please honor the legal
restrictions at the bottom of this file.
SUCTION GAUGE: You can check the vacuum system with the small gauge on
the bottom right. Author unknown.
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE: This gauge by Richard Melville displays
the outside air temperature in degrees C., important for IAS/TAS
conversions, etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. THE ENGINES WON'T START!: If you use the AutoStart gauge to start the
the engines, you MUST turn on the battery and ensure that the fuel switch is on ot the fuel selector switch is to B for "Both" first.
2. THE PLANE THAT I HAVE ASSIGNED THIS PANEL DOES NOT SHOW UP IN
THE SELECT PLANE MENU: you have installed this panel or modified
the plane's panel.cfg file incorrectly! Go through and double check
that you have done each step correctly. This is almost always the
problem. Also see #7.
3. THE PANEL APPEARS BUT THERE ARE ALMOST NO GAUGES: did you unzip the
embedded gauges.zip file and then copy all the *.gau files into your
FS2002 GAUGES folder? All of the *.gau files need to be within the
main FS2002 GAUGES folder. You must also have the Pro version of FS2002
and the Concorde.gau from FS2000
The other problem might be that your unzipping program can't
handle long Win95 filenames; check your unzipped gauges and
check if they have names like Prop2ERKadf.gau (differences
in uppercase/lowercase is not important). If not, you need to
download a new unzipper. I suggest either WinZip or the
*latest* version of PKUNZIP - it must mention that it will work
with long filenames in the text file. You can get these from
places like www.jumbo.com and www.shareware.com.
8. THE ENTIRE PANEL APPEARS DISORTED, OR THE SUBPANELS ARE SMALL SQUARES
IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER, OR THEY ARE NOT IN THEIR PROPER LOCATIONS:
you have probably used this panel in a Flight that originally used a
different panel. Just select a plane that uses a different panel (like
the Cessna), and then select your original plane again. If you want to,
you can then re-save the Flight and the panel will appear correctly after
loading that Flight.
12. If you have problems that cannot be corrected by the steps above,
feel free to email me. However, I will expect that if you have
one of the problems listed above that you will tell me that you
tried the fix and it didn't work - otherwise I will just guide you
to this section!! If you don't have any of the problems above,
make sure that you READ EACH STEP in the instructions again and
double check that it was performed correctly. I will expect you in
your email to tell me you have done this. My email address is:
