Features:
*****************
A 1024x768 panel bitmap and panel.cfg file for use with the TBD-1 Devastator
Torpedo bomber in Combat Flight Simulator 2.
Uses default gauges from various aicraft in CFS2, mostly the F4F Wildcat.
The engine control panel works, thanks to Kwagmyre for his help on that one!
The stock CFS2 Wildcat engine control panel is used, and is included here for
easy installation.
This panel is not extensively researched, so it is in no way very accurate, but
it has a very similar layout to that of the original.
Some gauges are probably inaccurate because I'm no gauge programmer, so only stock
gauges were used. No fuel selector gauge was used because the stock gauges all include
drop tanks, and the TBD did not use drop tanks.
Many thanks to Larry Vrooman for his input on the gauges and their placements!
Also thanks to all my great friends in the CFS community who in one way
or another contributed as the work on this panel progressed.
The panel looks best with 1024x768 screen resolution, but it is tested
and works very well with resolutions ranging from 800x600x16 up to 1280x1024x32.
