CREDITS:
*Jeff Leezer , for his gracious permission for me first, to use and modify his photo-real bitmap panel, (F16apnlf.zip) for the base of the CF-18A panel, and secondly, for allowing me to include his cockpit view photos in the new F-18 cockpit.
*Thank you to nasa, for their detailed photographs from the nasa dryden flight research center website used as the base of the CF-18 systems bitmaps.

*In this panel I've used a series of engine gauges from a developer that to date, I cannot locate.
Through a hex editor I've been able to track down the name of the designer of these gauges, ERK Panels.
I feel uncomfortable using anything that has been developed by someone else without their prior knowledge or consent, but as this panel is, and should remain freeware, I want to take this opportunity make it known that I am not a gauge programmer and take no credit for these gauges.
I do however, want to credit and to acknowledge the person or persons of ERK Panels and Dome Freeware as the original developer/designer of these gauges.
*Most of the remaining gauges (with exception of the FS2000 gauges) are versions of fs98 gauges.
This panel is freeware and may be used for any non-profit application or distribution.
