FS2004/FS2002 Panel for the German WW II battleships SS Tirpitz and SS Bismarck with a lot of look around views as photorealistical pictures, 2D-bitmaps and - (Tirpitz FS2004 only) bitmaps combined with virtual views.
Included are modified aircraft.cfg, a repainted texture for the Tirpitz and some special visual and sound effects.
The panel provides a lot of interesting and fotorealistic views: The bridge, a view down to the foredeck with the two 38 cm twin turrets, views to the 15 cm turrets and 10,5 cm aa-guns, gunsights showing explosion effects direct at the target, the Arado Ar196 floatplane standing on the catapult, seen on the virtual deck between chimney and hangar. Toggling by the key S yor are on the virtual 3D-deck near the hangar, now without the Arado-196, because it is not included in the 3D-model.
The sound includes alarmbells and cannonfire.
Panel bitmaps, 2D-views, and configuration for all the views plus combined 2D with virtual 3D-views and the configurations for the effects by Erwin Welker

CREDITS:
Many thanks to all of the creative persons, who do such a great work.
I am sorry, but I do not know from whom all the gauges, effects and sounds are. I have to many.
A great job was done by R.L. Clark, with his sound buttons and sound effects. Many thanks to him.
