This AddOn adds a copilot panel to the default 2D panel of AlphaSim's B-52G/H Stratofortress.
So you will only be able to use this AddOn when you own a legal copy of that package !

After the installation of this AddOn you will be able to switch between the pilot's and the copilot's
window within flight without reloading the aircraft. As an additional feature, this AddOn offers moving wipers in the 2D panel mode. Just click in the top corner of the screen to toggle them on/off (top left in pilot mode, top right in copilot mode).

To switch from one window to the other, use the left/right arrow icon at the top of the panel,
which replaces the previous 4/8 engine icon. That icon is no longer needed, because now the gauges
for engines 5 - 8 can be watched from the copilot's seat.

You will notice, that the program will "remember" the opened pop-up windows when switching from
one window to the other and back again. Unfortunately this does not work with the GPS window.
If the GPS is opened while switching to the copilot's window, it will be hidden behind the main panel.
To avoid this, the GPS window needs to be closed befor switching to the copilot's window.
Of course there it can be opened again. 

ATTENTION!

It is essential to use the icons to close the different pop-up windows!
Closing them via right-click, close window... will mess up internal calculations!

Installation:
1. Close FS, or at least select a different aircraft than the B52.

2. Extract the contents of the Zip into the root folder of FS9 (the usual way) and overwrite when asked.

That's all!

Uninstallation:

If you ever want to uninstall this update, you only have to replace the panel and panel.evs folders
by the original ones. There is no need to exchange any gauges.


As an additional feature, this AddOn offers operating wipers (in 2D panel only - sorry).
Click at the upper left corner of the panel (upper right corner, when in copilot mode) to turn them
on and off. Unfortunately this wipers are slowing down framerates, but only when turned on.

If you get the impression that they slow down framerates even when turned off, try to disable them
by editing the panel.cfg files in both, the panel and panel.evs folders.

Look for the following sections:


[Window15]
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=650,530
window_size_ratio=1.000  
position=0
visible=1
nomenu=1
ident=1007

gauge00=ALPHA_B-52_copilot!WIPER L,		0,0

//--------------------------------------------------------

[Window16]
Background_color=0,0,0 
size_mm=650,530
window_size_ratio=1.000  
position=2
visible=0
nomenu=1
ident=2007

gauge00=ALPHA_B-52_copilot!WIPER R,		0,0


Add // in front of both lines beginning with gauge00=...  so that they look like this:

//gauge00=ALPHA_B-52_copilot!WIPER L,		0,0

This deactivates the wiper gauges, so that they aren't visible any longer.
