Hiya all.
I have a version of the FS2004 Alpha F8F Bearcat that came with two models,two repaints (French and US Navy) and two panel configs - both with a fully working VC. I have no idea unfortunately when or where I downloaded it, and I am not the world's most technical guy, but if it's any use, here is the working VC panel config:
// Photorealistic F8F-2 Bearcat panel based on web pictures found at
//
http://fanakit.chez-alice.fr/BEARCAT%20photoscope/walkaround_bearcat.htm
// and adapted according the Bearcats Pilots Handbook dated December 1, 1949
// Bitmaps and gauges by Jean-Pierre Langer
// February 3, 2006
