These are as close as I can get to the real values.
So use them as guides only.

  The Radiator shutters can be set to Automatic or Open.

  M$ Flight Sim restriction means that Reserve fuel tanks
cannot be selected with the crossfeed cock open.

  Use the DF loop meter by steering towards the crossed
needles which should then move to the centre when you
will be be steering TO the beacon [ ADF1 ].

The DF loop aerial also gives a reading from the back as
well as the front, but this reciprocal indication will
move away from the centre as you turn towards the
crossed needles. Try it out in SLEW mode.

There is no standby vacuum system, instead there is a
pump on each engine and a selector cock.

There is no DME in the Radio Stack since the aircraft
did not have one. However the ident. audio is still
heard but can be turned off in the Audio panel or by 
a keyboard HOT-KEY if you have one set up.

To Feather a propeller:
Reduce it's engines throttle to zero.  [F1]
	Set propeller speed to zero. <SHIFT> [F1]
	Click the Feather control.  (*)
	[ (*) I have set up a HOT-KEY of 'f' as well ]
	Turn off Fuel pump,fuel cock,magnetos & 
	Alternator
To Unfeather:
	1/4 throttle, Fuel pump on, fuel cock on.
	Magnetos on, prop. speed to 1/2
	Use starter.
	Alternator on.

This gauge aproximates the BAB system that was developed
during WW2 as a landing aid. (as I have been able to
guestimate from the limited sources I was able to find)

The original BABs worked through a combination of left
and right beams that activated light indicators and
produced a series of tones indicating the planes position
right or left of the runway.

This gauge responds to the VOR1 Localizer signal, if it
is avilble, to activate the left or right lights
according to the planes position.  If the plane is almost
exactly on the center line both lights illuminate.
As the plane strays from the center line only one light
will be lit and the plane should be steered towards the
light. If the plane strays farther away from the center
line the light will flash until the localizer signal is
lost.

Distance from the runway was displayed by the BABs, as a
cathode display within the gauge, by interpreting a signal
sent to the plane in reponse to an interogation beam.

This gauge displays a simulated distance trace from
aproximately 20 miles at the bottom of gauge, to zero at
the top of the gauge, using the DME1 signal if it is
availble. If DME1 is not availble it will use the DME2
signal if it is availble.

Although modern day ILS was not availble during WW2 a set
of Localizer and Glide slope bars can be displayed on this
instrument, if the data is availble, by clicking the knob
on the lower left of the gauge (it illuminates orange when
engaged).

This gauge may be freely used but I retain the copy right.
