We installed succesfully this model on our FSX original and FSX Deluxe Edition plus SP1 , in airplanes folder WITHOUT installers, simply following the above procedure.
Simmers running Sp2 and/or accelerators, boosters or enhancers might encounter some undesired effects.

Note 1: Loading the aircraft for the first time you will get an 'unknown author' message for each of our gauges.
Click 'YES' if you like our gauges or 'NO' if you don't. If you say 'NO' you will not have our instruments displayed on the panel, except the default ones.

Note 2: You will get a second message asking you to "trust" the related gauge; if you "trust" it and say "Yes" when asked, you will never be asked again.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BOTH MESSAGES .

Note 3: If you want to see a different panel, copy or aliase a panel of a twin engine propjet-airplane of your choice or create a panel by yourself, in these cases the VC will not be shown correctly.

Note 4: Installing & using this package is at your own risk.

Note 5: Settings\Display\Graphics; selecting ''Light_Bloom'' check box, in the global options window, might not be compatible with our model and the selected plane may not appear.
