The panel is fitted out with metric instruments (speed and sinkrate).
Operation:
Take-off with a little trick, under the menue "exact location"
type in your desired hight and speed and then you will be beamed up to what
you like.
Easier is to use the provided situation which gives a correct speed
and some hight to continue.
Installation to FS98
Create under your \FS98\AIRCRAFT directory a new subfolder DRAAB
then create 4 new subfolders under DRAAB named:
MODEL , PANEL , SOUND and TEXTURE.
The following files enclosed in the DRAAB.ZIP must
go exactly to:
\DRAAB - copy draab.air , aircraft.cfg
\MODEL - copy draab.mdl , model.cfg
\PANEL - copy the contents of panel.zip
\SOUND - copy sound.cfg
\TEXTURE - draab.0af to draab.4af
Then copy the contents of gauges.zip to the FS98 subfolder \GAUGES
(If you already have some of these *.gau-files, then overwrite it.)
Doppelraab Chelan.stn goes to \PILOTS if you like
