FS2004 - photoreal Mainpanel (2D-panel) for Piper Cherokee 140 from Ole Egholm  (pa2814oe.zip)
                specially made and optically adapded to the virtual cockpit and only usable
                for this aircraft. Additionally Night-Lighting of the virtual cockpit.


At first my thanks to Ole Egholm for this fine modelled aircraft , that means the plane and especially
the virtual cockpit. With above mentionned zip-file the cherokee comes without 2D-panel and is
-of course - fully flyable, but I found that the readout of the radios is a little bit difficult and therefore
made this addition taking into consideration, that such a fine virtual cockpit should have an optically
adapded mainpanel. For this I made a composed bitmap.

Some further changes were made:

	a)  Autopilot added  (in place of gps) for longer flights 
                
                b)  New Gyro with Heading-Select in both mainpanel and VC

	c)  Nightlighting of both panels for "VFR at night"


Installation: First install the aircraft  a n d  the additional Radio-gauges (gbbkscrs.zip) as described 
by Ole. Then

                unzip panel.zip into the panel-folder of this aircraft and overwrite panel.cfg when prompted

                unzip gauges.zip into FS9/gauges-folder


Nightlighting of the virtual cockpit:

	Exchange in aircraft.cfg the corresponding entry to read as follows: 


[LIGHTS]
light.0=3,  -0.30, -16.5, -1.0, fx_navred
light.1=3,  -0.30,  16.5, -1.0, fx_navgre
light.2=3, -17.6,   0.00, 4.2, fx_navwhi
light.3=1, -15.5,   0.00, 4.75, fx_beacon
light.4=4,  -4.20,   0.00, 2.15, fx_vclight
light.5=6,  6.30,   0.00, -1.8, fx_landing
light.6=4,  -0.80,   0.00,  1.60, fx_vclight


Radio-Settings

in aircraft.cfg should read as follows:

[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=0, 
Nav.1=1, 1, 1
Nav.2=0, 
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

That was all.  If you install this aircraft first time, you need to make [fltsim.1] to [fltsim.0] in aircraft.cfg
or the pane will not show up in FS 9.

What is from me:   Only the bitmaps and the panel-arrangement

Credit therefore goes to Ole Engholm and all gauge designers.

Good success in mounting all together. The aircaft is your efforts worth !
