FSX / P3D panel / gauge

FSX Douglas R4D Panel

Douglas R4D panel refreshes the Manfred Jahn C-47 cockpit with a smarter layout of the default gauges, improving readability and making key instruments feel closer to a practical, working aircraft panel in FSX. It integrates Dave Bitzer and Mark Beaumont’s four-tank system and requires DCA_4TK.ZIP for full fuel functionality.

Douglas R4D Panel. Modified default panel for the Manfred Jahn C-47. This panel has the default gauges shifted around a bit to give a better representation of an actual usable panel. It also uses Dave Bitzer and Mark Beaumont's four tank mod and requires DCA_4TK.ZIP. By John Detrick.
