PLEASE, please read the readme.txt before installing the panel okay?

On second thoughts, lemme post it here:


Rodion's B-52H cockpit
======================
1024x768 res, Beta Version 1.02 for Falcon 4.0 with SuperPak2
0332H 21/05/02

================ DESCRIPTION ================

Cockpit for Falcon 4.0 (SP2) B-52H with 2,3,4,10,9 and 8 o'clock views (views have RWR scope) plus a "bombing station" for precision bombing runs. Based on photorealistic bitmaps of real B-52H cockpit.

================ NOTES ================

1. Since this cockpit is partially based on Aeyes' C130-H cockpit, I believe it can be used with 108i2, but using an eFalcon feature will result in a CTD.

2. This version is still in beta state and is being continuously developed. I am open to some comments and suggestions from Buff experts out there.

3. This panel is not in any way trying to depict an accurate B-52H panel--I merely wanted to create a usable panel for Buff drivers in F4 that has the "feel" of a Buff panel and views. Thus, please don't get mad at me and flame in the forums if I made mistakes here and there. I am BOTH Buff-ignorant and a newbie at F4 panel design so give me a break hehe. Also, I was hard pressed for time and was forced to work at ungodly hours of early morning just to finish this so I almost went for the toothpicks-propping-eyelids deal and might've seriously messed up some graphics in some of the views hehehe.

================ THANK YOUS ============

I would like to thank the following people:

-Phil Perrot for making me use his FS2000 B-52H panel bitmap
-Aeyes for letting me use his C130-H *.dat file as template
-Merlin for the center-down view
-Flight1/Dreamfleet for portions of their GA737-400 cockpit views
-My pals at the Philippine Flightsimmers Group Forums esp. Peter, Mike and Raymund for helping me find B52 cockpit pics.
-CCC and others for making various helpful suggestions like placing the RWR in all views etc.
-Tazz and Buff lovers (I made this especially for them so that they will continue to write and post those fantastic "There I was in my BUFF..." war stories with new and cool interior screenies LOL!)
-Those that I forgot to mention please tell me

================ INSTALLATION ================
F4-SP2:
1. With Winzip, "EXTRACT" the 1051.zip into your "..Falcon4\art\ckptart" folder with the "Use Folders Option checked" (it will automatically create the "1051" folder so don't create that anymore).
2. Make sure that the "flyanyplane" patch is active in F4patch (falconsp config editor).
3. Create a TE that has a B-52H in it and fly.


F4-108i2:
1. Unapply all cockpits with F4patch including ADS switcher.
2. Unzip the B-52H cockpit files into the art/ckptart folder.
3. From the Falcon 4.0 graphics options select 1024x768.
4. make sure you have the flyanyplane patch enabled
5. select a Buff to fly

What's next? Well for me, no panel stuff for the next few days--I'm going to rest hehehe been up late for so many days now--I need to recharge. Next week, I'm off to a Flight Simmers' Convention and just might fly as PF in my friend's Cessna Skylane 182S :D So no F4 stuff till June I'm afraid. But I do plan to make another cockpit when I get back from the convention. :D What will it be? It's a secret hehehe

GREAT JOB! I don't work on or fly Buffs but it looks good enough to work for me. My hat goes off to anyone who builds a pit (panel) to share. It was wonderful when we got the ability to fly other aircraft in Falcon than just the F-16, but the cockpit was always the same. Now, thanks to the hard work of people like you, we can enjoy our gaming experience all the more. Thanks!!!
