Sounds:

The sounds included here are, with permission from Tom Gibson, borrowed from the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser model. They were originally released for FS98 by H. P. Christeler, but have apparently been modified since, and I have used FS Sound Studio to update the sound.cfg to FS2004 / FSX format. Please read H. P. Christelers original readme file for this soundset, ReadMe_original.txt.

Gauges:

The gauges are to some extent based on default gauges of Flight Simulator, some of them modified by me for four engines. Other gauges are by myself. The ILS indicator is based on xml code by Saviero Maurri (Vickers Varsity panel), bitmaps by me. A number of gauges (mostly switches) are, with permission from Tom Gibson, www.calclassic.com, based on work by Tom himself, Kevin Trinkle, Ernie Kennedy and Ken 'Mitch' Mitchell. I have used complete gauges from them (cowl flap switches), or used the bitmaps from their c-style gauges and made xml-versions of them. 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.

Good luck flying the C-124 Globemaster II!
