F-15 Eagle Panel Version 2.0 For FS98 by Paul Schwerdtfeger ----------------------------------------------------------- An FS98 panel of the USAF F-15 Eagle Fighter. Based on photos of the F-15 cockpit. Designed in 800x600 mode and tested in all modes and 3Dfx. This is a complete remake of my previous F-15 Panel. This version will correct the 3Dfx "gray out" problems. My apologies for any inconvience that this has caused. Version 2.0 features include new all in one ADI gauge, 2d & 3Dfx HUD gauges, working MFDs, Moving Map Mode, new gear gauges, parking brake and STALL warning lights, and Panel switches. NOTE: The HUD gauges ONLY work in true full screen 3Dfx mode. INSTALLATION: Follow these steps to install: This panel uses gauges from other panels I have designed. Respond YES to overwrite existing files when prompted. - Unzip F15PANV2 into a temporary folder - Copy panel.cfg and *.bmp to the \panel folder of the aircraft that you want to use the panel with. - unzip the GAUGES.ZIP file into the ...\flight sim\gauges folder. - Don't forget to remove the files from the temporary folder. PANEL INSTRUCTIONS: 2: Toggle Systems Status diplay over the left MFD. 3: Toggle HSI to reveal the map for Map Mode. 4: Click here to operate the Radios & Engine gauges over the center. 5: Toggle the 3Dfx HUD gauges. 6: Toggle the 2D HUD gauges. 7: Toggle Wing Leader. MAP MODE: Press 3 to turn off HSI display. This will leave a hole in the right MFD. Drag the map (after resizing) down to the Right MFD and it will show up through the display.
