FS2002 de Havilland DHC3 Turbine Otter Panel by Fred Choate
*****CREDITS*******
Fred Banting for his Beaver Gauges. And Steven Grant for a great model to fly, and all of his support.
Yannick Lavigne for his outstanding graphics, for which I modeled the views on. In fact, most of the credit should go to Yannick, as I mostly just cut and pasted what he had already created, and did some relcoloring. Thank you Yannick.
About this Panel:
This panel will need the use of the FSSound.dll module that is included in this archive. Please follow the instructions below to install it:
Place a FSSound.dll file in the MODULES folder of FS2002. When you start FS2002, the sim may alert you that the software may not be compatible. Select YES to use it, as if you don't, you won't see or hear some of the gauges, or follow the instructions below to eliminate the message.
If you get an error message that "FS2002 was unable to load some 3rd party software" make sure that BOTH of the following lines appear in your fs2002.cfg file.
[OLDMODULES] ;<-- if this line already exists
fssound.dll=1 ;<-- only add this line below it
The main panel bitmap was created from scratch using a photo out of a DHC3 Otter handbook. I took the liberty of adding a few things here and there, much like a customized plane would have these days.
The interior views are mostly the work of Yannick Lavigne.....I used his beaver artwork, as it was very close to what an Otter looks like on the inside as well. I did have to do a bit of cutting and pasting, but most of the credit goes to Yannick. The rear view is my own work, however, and is created using a photograph I found on the internet.
Once again, I would like to give credit to Fred Banting, Yannick Lavigne, Steven Grant, and all those who have helped me along the way. Everytime I do another panel, I learn something new, and that is the whole point. Please enjoy this panel and aircraft.
All artwork in this panel is copywritten. Do not reproduce any of it without written permission. Do not redistribute this panel seperate from its original form within this aircraft, without written permission.
