The Instrument Panel Described The Virtual Cockpit view is the
recommended view to fly this aircraft with. It will provide the most
realistic flying experience and best frame-rates. The warning lights are for Stall (white) and
Radar Altitude Low (red means pull up!) There are four ammo counters, for machine gun rounds remaining, cannon rounds remaining, drop tanks remaining, and bombs remaining.. The needle of the ADF gauge will point in the direction of the
NDB (radio beacon) frequency you've set with the AFD radio. Airspeed indicator (Kilometers per hour). Attitude indicator. Vertical speed indicator Directional gyro. Engine boost pressure. Altimeter (Also metric! Altitude in Kilometers). Handbrake (Parkbremse). Gear switch/indicator. Oil flow/pressure gauge Oil temperature gauge. Radiator outlet temperature gauge. Propellor tachometer. Fuel level indicator, warning light and tank selection
switch. The Toggle-switch on the left brings up the left kneeboard: ADF radio. Tune in to a nearby airfield's ADF frequency and the
morse-code and ADF heading gauge will guide you toward it. Throttle. Note: the fw 190 series were equipped with an
automatic fuel-mixture regulator. Master switch and starter button. Magneto switch Ailerons, Pitch and Rudder trim gauges. The little switch on the right opens the right kneeboard: Autopilot. Yes, the fw190d did have a rudimentary autopilot
system. Adjustable clock (clicking on its surface will increase (right)
or decrease (left) the simulation rate from 1/4x speed to 4x speed. Vacuum/Amp gauge. CFO refuel/fuel dump gauge. Read instructions on http://www.cfsops.com/ The little switch on the right of the dump lever brings up Chuck
Dome's European and Pacific GPS's. This is NOT an authentic feature but can be
very handy in long flights.

We do not guarantee that this panel will work on your system. It works on ours, sorry but everyone else has to figure it out for themselves. It was designed using the best information we could find that it would be compatible, and at the very least cause no harm, but we offer no warrantees. Your computer blows up, you are on your own.
Thanks to Sander de Cocq of the
Redwulfs, who built this panel and virtual cockpit (and taught me a lot along the way!)
To Install: Install the gauges to the /GAUGES folder under Combat Flight Simulator 2, and install the panel files into the /PANEL subdirectory of the aircraft you wish to use the panel on (or install to one, and "alias" other aircraft to that one.)
