The only difference between the FS2004 version and the FS2002 version is the PANEL.cfg file.
Both panel.cfg files are located in the FS2004 panel.cfg file,the panel.cfg file for FS2002 is
named "panel.fs2k2".TO use it in a FS2002 installation rename the existing FS2004 panel.cfg to
panel.FS9 then rename the panel.fs2k2 to panel.cfg.The reason for the different Panel.cfg files
is because the Default FS2004's GPS GAUGE isn't compatible with FS2002.
When you run FS2004 or FS2002 go to Select Aircraft and select Boeing as the Aircraft Manufacturer
then "KC-135E" That's it.

KNOW ISSUES & OPERATIONAL NOTES
There's an issue with the landing gear panel gauge Audiable gear position .wav files "Landing
GEAR UP/DOWN and LOCKED".It works OK on one of my Systems which is a PIII Intel 1.0GHz,384MB
RAM,GeForce2 MX400 64MB,Windows 98SE,DirectX 9.0a.From this finding I think the "Issue is with
WINDOWS 2000 and Windows XP. If you have the conflict instead of hearing the Voice calling out the
Full Statment "LANDING GEAR UP/DOWN AND LOCKED" you'll only hear "LANDING GEAR" then sPEAKER NOISE.
Works perfect with Windows 98SE as the O/S.
When this PLane/Panel Combo is installed into FS2004 or FS2002 and is selected as the "Default Aircraft",the INTRODUCTION SCREEN does not appear.
Designed and Tested with an Intel P4,3.4GHz, 1.2GB RAM,Geforce GT 6800 256MB,
sound Blaster Audigy Gamer 5.1 Sound System,Windows XP Pro,WINDOWS 98SE, WINDOWS 2000 Pro.
