DSB Tornado help

Hi all.
Just when I thought I'd got this downloading lark sorted out ;D
I've just downloaded the DSB Tornado (DSBTornadoGR4Winter.zip) and the aircraft looks awesome but no gauges appear in the 2D cockpit. The panel.cfg seems to be referencing "Lago" gauges which don't appear to have come with the download.
Any help appreciated.

Zaphod.

Does the readme.txt mention anything about the panel?

No not really. The only "readme file" seems to concern itself with the weapons systems and doesn't mention quages etc.

..mm.. there are no gauges with the download..well not normal gauges....the panel readme suggests using the default Lear 45 panel for some reason....easy to put it in but it looka a bit daft in a Tornado for sure............It talks of custom panel and I think you had better look for a replacement somewhere............this is about all it says in the readme........

 
"Unzip the contents of the zip file into a temporary directory.
Move the contents of the temporary directory into their corresponding folders in FS2002.
Ensure you have read the readme files in the panel folders if you are using a custom panel for your tornado. Ignore this if you are using the default lear45 panel."

...don't really understand this one.......commoner

Ditch this file or at least get yourselfg another panel. The guy who put this together has indeed used payware gauges & he shouldn't have. I'm removing this file now & will reconfigure it with the correct panel.

There are plenty of others to choose from & if you want that texture just add the panel from another one - & there may well be an even better panel available as a separate download ..

Gotta rush now otherwise I'd look on up for you - but they won't be hard to find  :)

I'll look for a new panel.Re: DSB Tornado help

Well, at least it wasn't just me.
Shame, the external model being so good and all.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll look for a new panel.

Cheers.
