*To install for Flight Simulator X:

Just run the included setup program.

Sounds:

The stock King Air sounds are used, you can install other sounds for the model if you wish.

Gauges:

The gauges are to some extent based on default gauges of Flight Simulator FSX or FS2004, most of them modified by me. Other gauges are by myself. The ILS indicator is based on xml code by Saviero Maurri (Vickers Varsity panel), bitmaps by me. A number gauges (mostly switches) are, with permission from Tom Gibson, based on work by Tom himself, Kevin Trinkle, Ernie Kennedy and Ken 'Mitch' Mitchell. Finally, a big 'thank you' to Hans-Joerg Naegele, who gave me permission to use gauges from his Lockheed 049 Constellation panel (VNConnie049.cab), directly or modified.

This plane was made with FSDS 3.5.1 and FsdsXtweak by Dave Nunez, the textures with Paint Shop Pro DxtBmp and Imagetool.

It is freeware and must stay that way.

I hope you like flying the Viking!
