Installation Process

1. Unzip the downloaded folder and move the extracted aircraft directory into your primary “Aircraft” location within FS2004.
2. Locate the enclosed gauge file and place it in the main “Gauges” folder.
3. Transfer the required effects files into the primary “Effects” folder to synchronize visual enhancements.

Virtual Cockpit Usage

To activate the Virtual Cockpit model, open the aircraft.cfg file and, after the line referencing model=, add the letters VC. By doing this, you switch away from the wingview model, granting access to the more immersive cockpit layout. Note that the high-resolution VC texture should be obtained if you prefer extensive cockpit detail.
