McDonnell Douglas C-17 Globemaster III Panel VERSION 2 For FS98 by Paul Schwerdtfeger ----------------------------------------------------------- An FS98 panel of the USAF C-17 Globemaster III. Highly realistic, based on photos from McDonnell Douglas. Designed in 1024x768 mode, will work in 800x600 mode(some loss of clarity). Tested in all modes and on a Monster 3D II card. Incorporates many requested changes such as an improved autopilot, new autobrake, improved overhead console with engine switches and more realistic light switches. Also, both 2d and 3Dfx variations of HUD gauges, working MFDs, Moving Map Mode, altitude callouts and Panel switches to operate the MFDs and HUD. NOTE: The HUD gauges ONLY work in true full screen 3Dfx mode. INSTALLATION: Follow these steps to install: This panel uses gauges from other panels I have designed.
