Panel Issues

(1)
Be sure to read the instructions in the dfd300ns.zip and dfd300x2.zip files when 
installing the Radios and Transponder gauges especially the part that tells you
which folders to copy the FSSOUND.DLL and 300_switch.wav files into. There are 
some SOUND CARD CHIP SITE'S THAT are not compatible with Dai Griffiths 300A Series
Radios which he gives a little detail in the Radio readme.txt.

(2)When you linger the mouse cursor over any gauge on the LANDING PANEL (except)
   the Airspeed indicator NO instrument name appears.

(3)You can't adjust the VOR1 OBS on the LANDING PANEL with the mouse ,you have to
   use the Keyboard. 

Installation Instructions:

(1) Using Winzip V7.0 or higher, unzip the contents in the gauges.zip file into the 
    Main FS..\GAUGES FOLDER, (OVERWRITE) the "CESSNA_182_RG.FUEL.GAU" when Prompted. 

(2) Unzip the the contents of the file dfd300n3.zip as follows.
    dfd_nc385b.gau...into the Main \FS2k\GAUGES FOLDER.
    dfd_nc385b2.gau..into the Main \FS2K\GAUGES FOLDER.
    300_SWITCH.WAV...into the \FS2K\SOUND FOLDER.
    FSSOUND.DLL......into the \FS2K\MODULE FOLDER. (VERY IMPORTANT MUST BE INSTALLED)

(3) Unzip the contents of the file dfd300x2.zip as follows.
    dfd_300xpndr_b.gau...into the Main \FS2K\GAUGES FOLDER.
