Thank you for download this panel. This Robin R3000 Panel is
especially designed for Nick Pike's great Robin R3000. Some
weeks ago I found this General Aviation Plane for FS2000. I
decide to rework the Aircraft for FS2002 and to make a special
Panel for it. Now Nick sent me his new FS2002 Aircraft and this
new one looks also very good (maybe better) than the one for
FS2000.
The Panel based on some photos from the real R3000 Cockpit.
Because of the fact, that I would like to make the Panel just
with one Window (Bitmap) and all necessary Instruments in this
Window, I had to make some changes to the real Cockpit. The first
not realistic thing is the Throttle and Mixture Control. In the
real R3000 this both Controls are in the Pedestal part of the
Cockpit and too low to show it in one Bitmap. The second thing is
the Tank Selector. I do not know where this Selector is in the
real Cockpit, so I decide to place it right from the Engine
Instruments to have it also in one Bitmap. All other Instrments
are placed correct.
Instructions
Well, almost all of the Instruments should be clear. Just one
thing about the Annunciator Lights. The first light on the left
side illuminates when the Oil Pressure is too low. The second
light is for the Ignition and lights up when starting the Engine.
The next two lights are for the left and right tank. They go on
when the Tank is lower than 10%. The green lamps are for Flap
Moving and Flaps down.
Installation:
Unzip the gauges.zip to your Flightsim main Gauges directory. If
you already have some of the gauges you don't need to delete them.
They should be the same.
Take care: You need the Professional Edition of the Flight Simulator
because the Panel requires some Mooney Bravo Gauges which are
just included there.
Unzip the Panel.zip and replace the panel.cfg file to the panel
folder of your Robin 3000.
