This is a full package (aircraft and panel) for FS 2004 (flight simulator9).This file has NOT been tested on FS2002 but it might work, but the GPS should be changed.
To be displayed at 1024x768 resolution or more.

HISTORY
========
This is a remake of my previus uploaded CR32x biplane aircraft featuring a new photographic panel, a redesigned airfoil, model and little changes in textures and minipanel plus a simple virtual cockpit.
The Fiat CR 32 was characterised by its elegance and superb manoeuvrability . During the years before the world war II was flown in the "Squadriglia Folle" italian aerobatic team . The pilots loved this plane and credited it as the best designed by Ing. Celestino Rosatelli. It was also flown at the beginning of the "W.W.II." , but soon, outperformed by modern monoplanes, was dismissed. The one represented here, is in prewar livery...not exactly historic since the crew used to repaint the planes overnight.
P.S. : The CR32 really carried two airspeed indicators.

IMPORTANT!
===========
You MUST insert the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in the Main(FS 2004) flight simulator9 folder, otherwise you will experience a FS crash!!

FREEWARE!
=========

FOREWORD
========
The model has been created by myself using Abacus FSDS_v2: it features the usual animations, such as flight controls, spinning wheels, etc.

The textures and panel have been created entirely from photos taken by myself during a museum visit.

Some special gauges have been created by Capt. Italo D'Attomo, while the others are default FS gauges.

It features also a very simple Virtual Cockpit, with working essential gauges and animated flight controls.

NAV gauges and radio com are not provided. Fly it only old stile i.e. dead reckoning or visual flight.
Default GPS is available.



INSTALLATION
============

Unzip this file into your (FS2004) flight simulator9/aircraft folder and you will find a FIATCR32 folder with the usual subfolders, a 'GougeSound.dll', a 'Cr32gauges' folder, then operate as follows:

Step 1-open the "cr32Gauges" folder, select ALL gauges then Copy/Paste the selected gauges into the main (FS2004) flight simulator9/Gauge' folder.


Step 2-Copy/Paste the 'GougeSound.dll' in your main (FS2004) flight simulator9 folder (if you don't have it yet).

This should be the end of the installation procedure.
