FS2002 Beechcraft Duchess (BE-76) Panel
Version 1.0 - 1/8/2003
By Matt Laurita
Thanks for downloading this panel...Enjoy!
The main bitmap as well as the layout is based on actual photographs of the Duchess panel. Some default gauges from the Cessnas and the Baron are used, but a number of new gauges were developed for the panel by me as well. This is my first attempt at panel design, and as such there are bound to be some rough spots. I welcome any comments as to how I could improve upon the panel in a future release (email at bottom of file).
!IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS PANEL WILL ONLY WORK WITH FS2002 AS IT MAKES EXTENSIVE USE OF THE XML GAUGE FORMAT!
FEATURES AND CREDITS:
New gauges developed exclusively for this panel include:
-Airspeed
-Dual Manifold Pressure
-Dual Tach
-Dual EGT
-Fuel Quantity/Fuel Pressure Indicators
-Oil Pressure/Oil Temp Indicators
-Cylinder Heat Temp/Alternator Load Indicators
-Gear Handle and Gear Position Indicators
-Flap Switch and Flap Position Indicator
-Throttle Quadrant
-Starters and Annunciator Light
The rocker switches and cowl flap levers were adapted from the FS2002 CPT Toggles and Switches XML Gauges V1.2 by Jorge 'eko' Salas
Also included are an avionics switch and icons from FS2002 CPT Toggles and Switches XML Gauges V1.2
INSTALLATION:
-Extract the gauges.zip file to the Gauges folder of FS2002 (Fs2002/Gauges/)
-Extract the panel.zip file to the panel folder of your favorite Duchess aircraft (Fs2002/aircraft/YourFavoriteDuchess/panel/)
I haven't found a good Duchess made specifically for FS2002 yet, so I would suggest Michael Verlin's Duchess for FS2000 (be76_2k.zip)
DISCLAIMER:
This panel is freeware. You may do with it what you like as long as you don't make any money off of it. If you reuse any of the gauges I've created I only ask that you properly credit me in the documentation. I accept no responsibility if these files should harm your computer (though they shouldn't!)
