THE LOCKHEED SR71 BLACKBIRD - FS98 PANEL

By Phil Perrott


Instructions:

1) unzip the file SR71pnl into c:\temp, or any temporary folder

2) move the new *.gau files into your \gauges folder in FS98

3) delete the existing panel.cfg file in your SR71a\panel folder

4) move the new *.bmp files and the panel.cfg file into your SR71a\panel folder


Operation :

a) Press <shift> 2 to bring up the autopilot panel

b) There is the option of having a Main Artificial Horizon in the centre of the panel.
   I left it out as I thought it spoiled the overall appearance of the panel.
   If you think otherwise, then open the panel.cfg file and remove the two backslashes
   ( \\ )at the bottom of the gauge list, save it and you'll have the Main AH next
   time you load the SR71.

	eg.		\\gauge25=SR71.Att,330,346,90

	change to	gauge25=SR71.Att,330,346,90

c) The Machmeter reads up to Mach 3 but in reality operates only up to Mach 1.
   When a new machmeter becomes availble I will update the panel.
