READ ME file for the Zenith Aircraft Zodiac CH640. This is version 1.0 by Don Halcom for the FS2002 PRO.
This is FREEWARE and that means you cannot sell it. You are free to use it and even give copies away but nothing else. If you like the files (gauges, etc.) and you want to use them elsewhere in your flight simulator feel free to do so. If you use them in one of your models for other FREEWARE distribution, it is considered common courtesy to obtain the permission of the original person who made the item you want to use and to cite them in your FREEWARE. This is what I do now.
CREDITS
Thanks to Gerd R. Nehr for his excellent Garmin gauges. These are the FS2002 compatible GNS 530, the audio GMA 340 and the transponder GTX 330.

Thanks to Microsoft for some of the gauges used in this model were the gauges that came with FS2002 PRO and should be in your FS2002 simulator. These gauges are shown in the panel.cfg file and should be present on your computer or the plane will not fly correctly.
I did all of the gauges in the ct2k.cab file. As FREEWARE you are free to use them in any way you like except to make money.
