THIS IS NOT A "DOWNLOAD & FLY" PACKAGE. SO PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THE DOCUMENTATION PROPERLY BEFORE YOU INSTALL & USE IT. I'M SURE IT WILL ANSWER MOST OF YOUR QUESTIONS. Not every detail may be relevant for you, since there a lot of background info. During development of stuff like this, I learn a lot of peculiarities of FSX; and I tend to write them down in such a README, if only for my own memory
So maybe it helps you to understand better how it all works. ==== intended for use with Bruce Fitzgerald's Space Shuttle Atlantis === *** To use this gaugeset for other aircraft , see Appendix-1 of the readme ***

Even though it says it's mainly for the Space Shuttle, basically, any jet powered vehicle can be converted for space flight. All that needs to be done is install the space gauge folder in the panel folder, and modify the panel.cfg by adding the "new" gauge entries using the shuttle cfg as an example. It doesn't hurt to increase the static thrust in the aircraft.cfg file to make sure you can reach 100000 ft altitude.
