The Beta stages :
This panel was designed for FS2002 Pro and tested on a Sony Vaio 1.5 Gig running Windows ME.
I have not tried it in Windows XP.
--------
Gauges :
Be sure to turn Tool Tips on in your FS2002 general options menu.
This will identify most of the gauges.
!!!!!! Documents for various gauges are provided in this package. !!!!!!!
--------
FDE :
If you decide to add other textures for the visual model, then be sure not to overwrite the FDE files.
DO NOT use the FS2002 editor to edit the aircraft.cfg when re-nameing the aircrafts name or livery. Use a text editor to edit the aircraft.cfg and the panel.cfg.
--------
FSNavigator :
No additional configurations for FSNavigator MCP are needed.
The FSNavigator HSI and 3 way GPS switch can be used in FS2002 GPS mode, and FSNavigator modes. The FSNavigator HSI has been placed in the Virtual Cockpit and main panel.
The FSNavigator Mode switches in the custom MCP act as dumb switches if FSNavigator is not present. These switches have the same fuctions as the FSNavigator FMS.
In my personal model.. I have Mode 1 set for lateral flight only. I have Mode 2 set to override all other funtions and operate airspeed, with lateral and verticle control.
--------
Course : The course selector is in the MCP. The course readout is in the HSI.
--------
Q&H : Q&H is selected in the MCP. The Q&H readout is in the Flight Dirctor.
--------
Autopilot Annunciators :
Are also selectable on the PFD as well as the MCP.
The wing leveler is just above the HDG button on the MCP.
--------
Radio :
The comm 2 tuner is not present. However if you asign the audio to comm 2
this will leave comm 1 open for SB or Radar Contact and then you can use comm 2 for the default AI traffic. The FS2002 ATC freqs will tune automaticly using the default keyboard
asignments.
--------
Please inform me of any bugs ! Please read everything before you email me.
Thanks :-)
