Unzip the files in a temporary file (you will erase it when everything OK) and copy them as followed :
The folder "Panel.FPv4" must be in the directory X:\FS ...\...\Airplanes or aircrafts\Choosenairplane
The gauges file "B58v4.cab" to be in the general "Gauges" folder or in the hereabove folder- as it is, don't unzip it.
Declare the panel in the "aircraft.cfg" file of the "Choosenairplane" :
Add the following text below the group [fltsim.x] if x was the last declaration
[fltsim.x+1]
title=as you want but to be recognized easily
sim= as found in [fltsim.x]
model= copy from [fltsim.x] or let it blank
panel=FPv4
sound= copy from [fltsim.x] or let it blank
texture= copy from [fltsim.x] or let it blank
...
ui_variation=any personnal identification [different of other/default to let the avatar be seen in the catalog !]
...
all others items = copy from [fltsim.x] or let it blank or modify as you can recognize all info.
About the VC panel : if you want to use it, copy the several elements [Vcockpit0i] from the original panel.cfg into the new following the list of the 2D windows.
As usual: enjoy it, copy it, give it, speak about it but don't make money with it !
Of course I would be happy if you are kind enough or just honest to inform me if you redistribute it - the more if you modify it.
If any trouble, complain or idea in your mind about this work - especially about the working of the gauges in comparison with the real instruments - please report it to :
