1975 Piper Cherokee 180 LN-ROG v1.0
By Roger Austli and Ole Egholm
This is an early seventees Piper Cherokee 180. If you don't want the cost of the newer model Archers, this is the way to go. It may be old, lack a few knots, and doesn't have the advanced tapered wing, but it's in mint condition with a brand new custom paintjob... Okay, so it is the default fs2002 cherokee, but with some new features:
Virtual cockpit with dynamic instruments.
2d-panel with clickable spots for: yoke/timer, digital instrument readouts, primary instruments zoom, garmin gps pilot III.
installation:
--download and install Carenado's excellent freeware Piper Tomahawk from http://www.carenado.com/html/freeairplanes.php3 (because the cherokee-panel uses it's gauges)
--from gpil3.zip, extract only gpspilot3.gau to your fs2002 gauges folder.
--from kkind101.zip, extract only kk_indicators.gau to your fs2002 gauges folder.
--unzip the contents of pa28lnrog.zip into your fs2002 directory. Remember to check the "use folder names" tag in winzip!
That's it, now when you select aircraft in fs2002, look under Piper, Cherokee 180 and find the variation "LN-ROG".
Thanks to Ole Egholm, for sharing his Gmax model of OY-DHD with me! This airplane is basically OY-DHD with a newer cockpit.

Issues for v1.0:
-A little awkward installation procedure, because of copyright issues.
-The model is missing the small rear windows. But I'm learning Gmax and will get there.
-The gauges from Carenado's Tomahawk does not match other gauges 100% when panel light is on. I will hopefully make my own gauges someday to cure this.
-The needle on the rpm gauge sometimes disappear when at full rpm.
-The strobelights switch doesn't work, there are no strobelights on this plane.
-the rudder pedals are not animated yet.
This aircraft was buildt and tested for FS2002 Pro, with a screen resolution of 1024x768, 16bit colours.
