FSX DEFAULT BOEING 737 INTERIOR MODEL
--------------------------------------------
[models]
normal=(Your B737 external model file)
interior=B737_800_interior
The VC needs the above default interior model file to work.
Please make sure it is present in all your "model" folders,
and the "model.cfg" files are linking to the correct interior.
This file is provided in the download, in the "Model" folder.
==================
INSTALLATION START
==================
----------------------
INSTALL NEW FILES
----------------------
1 - Extract the zip archive in the folder of your choice.
In the folder you will find these 4 folders: "Aircraft", "Gauges", "Sound" and "Manuals".
2 - Delete (make a backup!) any existing "panel" folders for your 'target-aircraft'.
3 - The "Aircraft" folder contains 3 folders: "panel", "panel.wide" and "texture" (see Note 2).
Copy/paste all 3 folders in your FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\'target-aircraft' folder.
4 - Copy/paste the content of the "Gauges" folder in your FSX\Gauges folder.
5 - Copy/paste the content of the "Sound" folder in your FSX\Sound folder.
Note 1: You may need Administrator's permissions to do the above.
Note 2: The "texture" folder, sometimes called "texture.vc",
is the common texture folder for all your aircraft liveries.
It mostly contains all the VC panel textures.
6 - See A "texture.cfg edits" section below: IMPORTANT!
7 - See B "aircraft.cfg edits" section below: IMPORTANT!
-------------------------
A - TEXTURE.CFG EDITS
-------------------------
In order to display the Boeing 737NG VC panel correctly
in your installation, you must link the fallback textures
in all your liveries. In all your aircraft texture folders
make sure the "texture.cfg" file are all as follow:
[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\texture
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
-------------------------
B - AIRCRAFT.CFG EDITS
-------------------------
In order to display the Boeing 737NG panel correctly
in your installation, the following adjustments must be
made in your "aircraft.cfg" file.
---------------------------------
B1 - CHOOSE THE PANEL TO USE
---------------------------------
For each livery of the selected aircraft, you must specify the panel you wish to use.
Below are examples from the default B737-800:
- The first (Paint1) uses the default 1024 panel.
- The second (Paint2) uses the wide 1280 panel.
[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 737-800 Paint1
sim=Boeing737-800
model=
panel=
.......
[fltsim.1]
title=Boeing 737-800 Paint2
sim=Boeing737-800
model=

LAUNCHING FOR THE FIRST TIME
---------------------------------
This package uses Doug Dawson's sound gauges: "dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau" and "dsd_xml_sound3.gau".
You will be prompted several times on initial launch if you wish to load them, and create an exception.
If you are using FSX, please answer "Yes". These files are 32bit and known to be safe.
If you are using P3D v3 (32bit), then answering "Yes" should be ok, in theory.
If you are using P3D v4 (64bit), then you should probably answer "No".
Since I don't have P3D, I cannot advise (or test) potential issues.
