The panel background is based on photographic material found in the net.
Included in this model there is also a Virtual Cockpit, with working essential flight instruments and animated flight controls, plus camera definition views.

INSTALLATION
============
Please DO NOT use installers.
Unzip this file into your Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\airplanes, folder and you will find the "SIPA_300" folder with the usual subfolders and a 'GougeSound.dll', then operate as follows:

Please do not hesitate to use elevator trim as required to fly the plane hands-off.
The model is somewhat nose heavy at Take Off... please use nose up trim before or during Take Off run.
Flying on virtual cockpit you can move the eyepoint as required for better vision (check your eyepoint keyboard on FS options\controls\assignements for the keys required to move the 'eyepoint of view' (left/right/up/down/back or forward).

The authors grant permission for repainting purposes only.

NOTE:
We installed succesfully this model on our FSX original and FSX Deluxe Edition plus SP1 without installers, simply following the above procedure.
Simmers running Sp2 and/or accelerators might encounter some not desired effects.

Note 1: Loading the aircraft for the first time in the FSX 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 click "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 single engine jet airplane of your choice: in this case, the VC will not be shown correctly.
You might also create a panel by removing our gauges and installing your preferred.

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

Note 5: FSX-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.
