This panel was made for the Boeing 727, I recomend Mike Stone's 727 which was made for FS2002, but works fine in FS2004. There is also a "panel_fs2k2.cfg" which will allow this panel to be used in FS2002. Just rename the file to "panel.cfg"
Install the panel folder into the aircraft folder you wish to use this panel with. Install the contents of the gauges folder into the main FS2004 Gauges folder.
Please make the following changes to the aircraft.cfg file so all works right:

First, Credits.
I would like to apologize for not listing all the wonderful gauge programmers, without whom, no aircraft panel would be possible. I have downloaded literally hundreds of panels in search of the gauges I feel best fit any particular application, so I forget who all the credit for such gauges should go to!. If you see something and feel you should be given the gauge credit for it, please contact me and I will amend this readme.
Special thanks to: Richard Probst for his fine gauges and bitmaps used in this panel.
Special thanks to: Chris Koegler and Ralphs Panel Shop for there fine gauges used in this panel.
Special thanks to: Top Avionics
and Tony D'AMBROSIO for there fine gauges used in this panel.
Another special thanks to Jorge 'eko' Salas for his fantastic Icons and Switchs.
