7/30/20/ VC panel gauges and placements update


This panel was developed from period P-38G cockpits photos and the USAAF official Pilot Training Manual for the P-38 Lightning, AAF manual 51-127-1. The panel painting and all panel development are mine. The gauges used are repainted and in some cases repurposed to match the actual gauges as installed in the P-38G.

The panel has four sub windows:


1) Throttle, mixture, prop, flaps and main switch panel. From this panel you can start and control engines separately replicating the real aircraft start procedure. It has a prop feathering / engine shut down feature for single engine flight.


2) Navigation and radio panel. It has a functional ADF radio and gauges and 3 period (non-authentic) GPS's for the ETO, MTO and PTO.


3) Control Yoke. This panel can be turned on or off to fly with or without the yoke.


4) Trim and auto pilot.


The panel includes the VC specifically for the DCC P-38G-13-LO CFS2 conversion.


It includes detailed instructions for how to operate the panel and an immersive P-38G operation instruction for how to start, fly and land the P-38G in the most realistic manner possible in CFS2
