B757 / B767 FINAL PANEL UPDATE:

First of all my sincere appologies for the inconvinience about the AUTOPILOT. I hope everything is fixed now ...

I've fixed the autopilot. Edited the main *.bmp file and replaced some gauges.

First the credits -

Panel:
The original is mz757pnl.zip and is available on AVSIM and SurClaro
Done by Mario Coelho - mcrabbit@iol.pt or coelho_mario@hotmail.com
The lighting was changed, some new gauges were added and a VFR panel was added (just hit 2 on keypad) I've taken the right_front, right and right_rear views out because it doesn't look so nice and some aircraft didn't want to show them correctly. A lot of hours went into the panel to repaint it and make it more eye friendly.

Gauges:
You will need FS2002 PRO for some gauges and for the rest ...
I have no clue who to thank because the gauges came with various aircraft from different designers. I salute you all and say a very BIG thank you! I wish I could do what you do with gauges!

NOW !!!!!!!!!!

Some people have send me some e-mail, claiming I stole from other people and try to get credit for their work. Well, let me say it one more time: no credit to me ... I only made the coffee - I did not make the sugar, the cream, the water or the mug ... it was only my idea how much cream, what sort of coffee and how many sugar to put in the water.

So - if you still feel that I'm taking credit for other people's work ... go and make yourself some coffee ... come back and delete this panel from your computer.

However, I was warned by the designers from HGHB gauges to give them some credit and I am doing it now: The one gauge calles HGHB_dig_vspd.gau was made by HGHB and thanx John J Schumacher of reminding me.

INSTALLATION (Specially for Mickey de Vos):

Step 1: Sit down
Step 2: Take a deep breath
Step 3: Open the zip file that you have just downloaded
Step 4: You will see an AIRCRAFT folder and a GAUGES folder
Step 5: If you open the AIRCRAFT folder you will see a FSFSCONV folder
Step 6: If you open the FSFSCONV folder you will see the *.bmp and *.cfg files within the B757 folder

Now ...

Step 7: Breathe again
Step 8: Copy the Aircraft folder and GAUGES folder from step 4 straight into FS2002

You will now have the gauges within the gauges folder of FS2002
... and ...
You will have under the AIRCRAFT folder a FSFSCONV folder and under that you will have a B757 folder

Step 9: Copy the panel.cfg file that you will find in the FOR YOUR AIRCRAFT folder, into the panel folder of any aircraft that you would like to have the B757 panel. If you open the panel.cfg file, you will see that it points to the folder on your computer that have the panel files for that specific aircraft.

Step 10: Breathe again!

Last but not least:
