FS2004 Douglas A4 Skyhawk panel and gauges
==========================================

Photorealistic freeware FS2004 panel for Douglas A4 Skyhawk by Jean-Pierre Langer and Arne Bartels based on photos taken on an A4-N at Nimes-Garons airport. Specific gauges have been made for this panel which also uses the default FS2004 GPS and the great F-16 HUD made by William Lipscomb. This panel has been made to be used with the excellent RAZBAM Skyhawks, but should work with other Skyhawks.

Installation :
--------------
1) Unzip the archive in a temporary directory.

2) Put all the elements of the panel folder in your Skyhawk panel folder

3) Put all the gauges from the gauges folder into the main FS2004 gauges folder.

Don't forget to read the documentation files.

Gauges :
--------
You will note that all gauges have a help explaining the gauge function. The standard helps will appear in the FS2004 version language, the specifics helps will appear in english.

Flight model :
--------------
My friend Bee Gee has adapted the Skyhawk A4-C flight model (RAZBAM series 1) according informations given by the A4 pilot of Nimes-Garons. If you want to use it (but it is not mandatory), just replace the original aircraft.cfg and A4C.air files by the one included in the "aircraft A4C" folder. Don't forget to make a backup of the original files.

Utilisation :
-------------
As this panel has many views, never load the Skyhawk as first plane when you launch FS. Load the default FS plane then change to the Skyhawk. If you don't do that, you may have the GPS, throttle and other subpanels hiden by the IFR, VFR, or Landing views.
Note :As the original plane has a GPS instead of an HSI, by default it's the GPS which appears on the panel, but you can switch it to an HSI and OMI.

Legal :
-------
This is a freeware and cannot be used in any commercial product nor loaded on a web site prior a writen
