Unzip to a folder of your choice. After you have renamed, or otherwise backed up your air, aircraft.cfg files and the panel folder; copy the air, and aircraft.cfg files and the panel folder from this update to the FA-18 folder. All gauges that are not default gauges, except the Concorde gauge are in the panel folder. The Concorde gauge can be found on the internet if you don't already have it.
