Thanks to Frank Safranek "the Mirage man" for all his help and assistance!!
This panel is based on the bitmap used in Denis Da Silva's Mirage III panel, but has been major parts of the panel has been remade in order to look like a Cheetah C cockpit. The cockpit of the Cheetah C and todays D are a still guarded with much secrecy by the SAAF and this panel is therefor not based on actual pictures. But several elements of the panel are taken from pictures from the cockpit of a early Cheetah D at the SAAF Museum.
The cockpit pictures of the Cheetah D at IPMS South Africa were of great help.

I have in order to make the panel a bit more useful at IFR and nigh flying conditions included some new MFD sub panels. The are changed with the shift+ "X" buttom
Shift+1 = GPS
Shift+2 = AP
Shift+3 = left consol
Shift+4 = MFD
Shift+5 = MFD
- Keyboard shortcuts have been defined to ease the use of the panel:
Numpad / : Previous radar mode
Numpad * : Next radar mode
Numpad - : Descrease radar range
Numpad + : Increase radar range
Shift-Ctrl-1 : Decrease HUD brightness
Shift-Ctrl-2 : Increase HUD brightness
The HUD and Radar gauge are used with permission from Eric Marciano.
