Instructions:

Place the folder panel.F8E into your crusader folder.

Place the gauges in the gauges folder into your FSX gauges folder.

Change the panel alias in your cfg to the F8E:

[fltsim.x]
title=F-8E VMF(AW)-122 ZUNI and Bull Pup
sim=crusader-US
model=crusader_navy_400
panel=F8E
<---------------------------------- Change to this.
sound=
texture=122
panel_alias=
sound_alias=
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=149212
atc_airline=USMC
atc_flight_number=05
ui_manufacturer="Vought"
ui_type="F-8E Crusader VMF(AW)-122"
ui_variation="VMF(AW)-122 CRUSADERS ZUNI and BULL PUP"
description= F-8E VMF(AW)-122 MCAS

Change the fuel entry in your cfg to this:

[fuel]

//Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)

fuel_type = 2
number_of_tank_selectors = 1
electric_pump = 1

Center1 = -7.97, 0, -1.09, 753.0, 0 <---------------- Change to this
LeftMain = -8, 0, -1.1, 595.0, 0 <---------------- Change to this

This is to make the Main and Transfer fuel quantities work properly. The Fuel in the wings on the F-8 was considered to be one tank for quantity purposes. I've also made a Low Fuel annunciator which the real aircraft had. It comes on with about 10 percent fuel remaining. I've borrowed some freeware gauges from other projects. Some came from the VNConnie, others from various sources.
