This can be used for any DC-3 within FS2004.

WARNING!!
This DC-3 2D Panel loads slower than any of the FS2004 default panels

I needed to create an IFR equipped 2D Panel for the default DC-3. Based on modern DC-3's of today and especially the Panel of "N763A", I set about the task of getting this accomplished. I had problems with the FS2004 default Panel, especially the use of the default throttle quadrant and so I started to create my own based upon a throttle quadrant I have at home. It includes correct Mixture labeling and all facets of the throttle quadrant have been re-designed. The Cowl Flaps are easy accessible and also include a 'Trail" option as well as many other NEW features. The default GPS500 has been added as well as the Bendix Radio stacks. This *all in one* DC-3 2D panel is IFR equipped.

The DC-3 VC Panel remains as default in FS2004, this 2D panel is more for users who do not use the VC Panel and fly using the 2D panel.
The 2D DC-3 Panel takes a little while to load in FS2004, I am not sure why this is, but perhaps because it does utilize up to five different gauge-CAB files. Once loaded there is no hit as far as I can tell on frame rate.

*** Unzip into your favorite FS2004 DC-3 (or variant of the DC-3) "panel" sub-directory (of Aircraft) and you are all set. Remember, all gauges here go into the DC-3 "panel" sub-directory (of Aircraft).***

I included DC-3 Power Settings for use in FS2004. Also included is the FS2004 default panel.cfg so you can revert to default panel at any time. I also included a more precise DC-3 reference sheet, this should be unzipped into the DC-3 aircraft folder.

Also available are my realistic DC-3 FS2004 sounds from my site under the FS2004 section.

hehee !!! .... I have no legal stuff, use this 2D IFR DC-Panel how you want, when you want, change it, upload anywhere you feel like (it would help me if you do, please keep this text file with it though), use it as freeware, shareware or commercial. I really don't care, as long as you enjoy it and credit me as the original author of this FS2004 2D DC-3 IFR *all in one* Panel
I realize that by releasing these on the Internet, anything can happen and.. I accept that.

Go have fun !!
