F-16 Falcon Panel
For FS2000
by Paul Schwerdtfeger
-----------------------------------------------------------

FS2000 panel - Lockheed USAF F-16 Falcon Fighter.  Based on photos 
of the F-16 cockpit.  Designed in 1024x768.

Features include mostly FS2000 gauges with 'pink' night lighting.
Both Green and Red HUD gauges, working MFDs, ARC and ROSE HSIs,
parking brake and STALL warning lights, and Panel switches.  
Incorporates the MS FS2000 GPS.


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 F16PAN2k 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.


PANEL INSTRUCTIONS:

   <SHIFT>2:  Toggles the HSI mode.
   <SHIFT>3:  Toggles the GPS on/off.
   <SHIFT>4:  Toggles the GREEN HUD gauges. 
   <SHIFT>5:  Toggles the RED HUD gauges.


   SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS:
   There are 5 switches on the panel located on the
   center of the Panel above the radios.

   STROB:  Click here to toggle the strobe lights on and off.
   NAV:    Click here to toggle the navigation lights on and off.
   PITOT:  Click here to toggle the Pitot Heat on and off.
   HUDG:   Click here to toggle the Green HUD gauges on and off.
   HUDR:   Click here to toggle the Green HUD gauges on and off.

   Additionally, there are two switches located above the Right MFD.

   The first switch toggles the MS GPS, the second toggles the ARC HSI on/off.


_NOTE_:  There is a problem with the Landing Gear Indicators working properly.
         The lights sometimes do not reflect red while the gear is in motion, and
         sometimes do not show gray when the gear is up and locked. ( A workaround
         for the problem is to load a different aircraft in FS2000, and then reload the
         F-16 aircraft.)
         I will have an update as soon as the gauge can be reprogrammed.  Check my
         web site for the update, it will only be posted there:
