FSX / P3D panel / gauge

FSX Douglas Boston Panel

Douglas Boston MkIII and A-20 Havoc pilots get an alternative 2D and 3D panel that borrows the familiar Douglas DC-3 gauge set for a clean, period-appropriate instrument layout. Updated for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it drops into Alphasim’s freeware model and requires the default FS2004 Douglas DC-3 gauges.

Panel--Douglas Boston. This alternative 2D and 3D panel is for Alphasim's freeware Douglas Boston MkIII / A-20 Havoc (BOSTONMKIII.ZIP or ALPHBST9.ZIP), and uses the default gauges of the Douglas DC-3. Updated for FSX by Enrique Medal.

I dont know if this panel could be used in Fs2004.

DEFAULT FS2004 GAUGES NEEDED: Douglas DC3.

Installation :

1. Copy new panel.cfg and bitmap files into "panel" folder of your aircraft previously downloaded.

2. For use in FSX, should be replaced (or added if not) the following lines into the file aircraft.cfg:

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D panel / gauge
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place panel files

    Panel files go inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{aircraft}\panel\. Back up the existing panel folder first.
  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
