Thank you for download this panel. This Pa28 Panel was designed

with different photos of real Archer Panels. I decide to use the

same Panelbitmap (with some minor changes) as I've used for the

D-EGPA Piper Set. The main difference between those two Panels is,

that this one has a more expensive equipment. A VOR-2, DME, EGT

and TCAS is added which is missing in the D-EGPA. Unfortunately

I couldn't realize the typical Piper Autopilot. As soon as I found

a Gauge Programmer who is interested in this work (all Gaugebitmaps

are ready to use) I will upload it as an update to this Panel. I

do not want to use the standard Bendix Autopilot so there is no AP

in this Panel at the moment. If you are a Gauge Programmer please

contact me!





Instructions



Well, I think the most things in this Panel should be clear. The

Panel has two additional Windows which could be opened or closed

by Mouseclicks. To close the Sunvisor just click between the left

and right Sunvisor at the top of the Panel. To open the ground view

with the Fuel selector just click on the right knob of the Turn

Coordinator.

The Master Switch in the Panel works. This means that you couldn't

start or stop the Engine if the Master switch is turned off. The

same with the Fuel Pump switch. Both switches have to be on for a

correct work of all other things.

The warning lights in the center are (from left to right) low volts,

oil pressure and (normally) suction. I could not realize the suction

light so I decide to simulate it with a generator warning lamp.

The real D-EGPA has a Magellan GPS instead of the Bendix GPS I used.

To bring this GPS to work you need to have installed acsgps17.zip

which could be found at Flightsim.com or on some other servers.





Installation:



Unzip the Gauges.zip to your Flighsim main Gauges directory. If

you already have some of the gauges you don't need to delete them.

They should be the same.

Unzip the Panel.zip and replace the panel.cfg file to the panel

folder of your favourite aircraft. For more reality use A Piper

Pa28.
