Hello everyone.  Can anyone tell me how to install eric marcianos fullf16p.zip panel for my f16. I have looked through the files but did not see any instructions to install it. It is the recommended panel for the thunderbird I have, just need to put it in the plane.

                                         Thank you for any help

Joe, firstly copy any gauges into the FS2002/gauges folder.
Then copy all the remaining files into the FS2002/aircraft/f16/panel folder.
From there it should work fine.

Thanks for the reply ozzy72, I tried that and have all gauges in main panel but the rest of the screen is black. v/ cockpit display is normal. Iam runnig >xp/ 512 memory / g force 5200 ultra video card< Dont think this is it though since all other sim functions are normal. Any ideas?

copy the bitmaps of the panel folder. just DON't overwrite panel.cfg or you will lose the VC gauges

OK it finally worked. I'm not really sure why but worked on the 3rd try. I installed it the same way each time so I could only think that I was missing something. I found there was a panel folder inside the panel folder so I copied all contents(panel.cfg& bitmaps) to the main panel overwritng the panel.cfg file and it works great. Right on the money with the advice guys.
                                  Thank you for all your help.

I am new to adding planes and the rest of the goodies that follow. this is my first plane downloaded to fs2002 and it flys well, but the hud is blank and the panel switches do not respond, is this normal? or did I screw something up. any help would be appreciated
