FSX Northrop F5 Update

Northrop F-5 Tiger for FSX receives a refined update that removes affected model variants and delivers a cleaner, better-aligned virtual cockpit and 2D panel. Updated gauge placement sits correctly within the black bezels, and several previously non-functional instruments are replaced, improving cockpit readability and overall usability.

This is an update of the FS2004 Iris Northrop F5 Tiger. The recent upload revealed problems with the VC in some of the models. Those models have been removed. The package also features a new VC configuration and appearance, as the gauges now fit in their respective black frames in the VC and 2D panel and some non-functional gauges have been replaced. Credits go to Iris for the original model and to Danny Garnier for his earlier update. New panel configuration by Michael Pook.
