INSTALLATION:
I- There are several install options for aircraft as usualy.
a- The easiest way to install aircraft is directly exract the Dc3THK.zip to the C:\ with selecting full path options off winzip. In these case aircraft will install himself dierctly to the FS9 aircraft folder.But this options if you dont have the suitable gauges in your gauges folder of Fs9 the panel may be dont shown some of gauges. Ýn this case you must jump to the full install explain section II.
b- You can install it separatly if you beleive that you install any other panel of your chose or you want to use default panel of FS4. So if you think like that extract it directly to the C:\ with selecting full path options off winzip. in this case you must paste or copy any panel folder to the aircraftt folder of (Douglas DC-3 IFR 4TK) and over write when if ask.
II- Full install with original panel.
One of the other install options is shown below which to use the aircraft with original IFR panel..
1. Download and unzip DC3_4TKF.ZIP from the avsim or flightsim to a temporary directory. You should see four folders and README files.
2. Move the folder 'Douglas_DC3_IFR_4TK' within the AIRCRAFT folder to ..../Flight Simulator 9/AIRCRAFT/ (the main FS2004 aircraft folder) or simply move the AIRCRAFT folder itself to your FS root directory. The new aircraft within it will overwrite no others.
3. Move the contents of the GAUGES folder to ..../Flight Simulator 9/GAUGES/ (the main FS2004 gauges folder) or simply move this entire GAUGES folder to your FS root directory. You can move the gauges individually if you prefer. If you are asked to overwrite, please check that you are overwriting with more recent files, otherwise discard mine. No default gauges will be overwritten.
4. Move the file in the SOUND folder to ..../Flight Simulator 9/SOUND/. You may have this file already.
5. Move the FSSound.dll file in the folder MODULES to ..../Flight Simulator 9/MODULES/ if you do not have it installed already. If you do not, you should then proceed as follows:
Find the FS9.CFG file. It is located in your personal "Application Data" folder. On Windows 2000/XP systems, this is located in "...\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\FS9.cfg". For Windows 9x users the path is "...\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\fs9.cfg". The Application Data folder is hidden, so you will need to enable viewing of hidden files/folders under the Folder Options in your Explorer.
Back up your FS9.CFG file. Then open the file and add the following section, somewhere near the top:
[OLDMODULES]
FSSound.dll=1
Save the file.
6. IMPORTANT TO COMPLETE INSTALLATION: COPY (or move) the default gauge file DOUGLAS_DC3.CAB from your default DC-3 PANEL folder to the main Flight Simulator 9/GAUGES folder (do NOT unzip it). If you do not do this, default gauges will not show in your new panel.
If you have followed these instructions correctly, you should find your new aircraft in the FS2004 aircraft selection menu under manufacturer: "Douglas", model: "DC-3", variation: "Bare metal, IFR panel, 4TK 4MX". Its folder name under ..../Flight Simulator 9/AIRCRAFT/ is 'Douglas_DC3_IFR_4TK'. Should you by chance have already installed any of Mark Beaumont's panel work or Beaumont and Bitzer's fuel work, please note that there are no conflicts or confusing overwrites as this is a new folder.
That iss all.
