Norman Hancock's second version of his DC-3NH Gyro and HSI aircraft and panels for FSX. The panels are based loosely on his previous DC3_NH_IFR panels but to ensure both versions of the panels worked equally well in both FS9 and FSX, numerous changes to gauges and particuarly the radios were necessary. These are the reasons the aircraft and panels have been built with a new name, rather than an upgrade for the DC3_NH_IFR aircraft and panels. Additionally, a Radio Altitude gauge has been installed, and only possible for FSX, the panels have been slightly redesigned to create a passable night panel with simulated back lighting

FEATURES
========

  1) Two complete aircraft and panels based on the default FS9 DC-3.
 2) Choose Optional Digital Readouts while in flight.
 3) Over two-dozen flight-dynamics improvements by Beaumont and Bitzer.
 4) Brightened up, readable gauges with a redesigned night panel for Version 2.
 5) Four Fuel Tank Modification.
 6) Correct DC-3 Auto-Mixture.
 7) Descent Calculator.
 8) Fuel status gauge
 9) Fuel consumed gauge.
10) Bona fide E6-B with Quick Start Guide.
11) DCA Textures by Mark Beaumont.
12) And much more.

INSTALLATION
============
1) Close Flight Simulator.

2) Extract files from DC-3NH-FSX V2.zip to a temporary directory.

3)Three files will appear:

	Readme_DC-3NH-FSX V2.txt ... If you can read this you have already done this! How many times do you read that...??.
	DC-3NH-FSX V2.exe ... the aircraft/panel file.
                  DC-3NH Docs ... Contains the DC-3NH manual and other files. Also a copy will be in the DC-3NH aircraft folder for convenience.

4)a. Installation on a system running Windows XP -  Double click on the filename ... DC-3NH-FSX V2.exe ... and then follow the on-screen instructions to install into the 'Default' location of  FSX on your C: Drive. If you have installed FSX  in any other location you will have the option during the installation to change the installation path to the correct location of your own installation  of FSX.

   b. Installation on a system running Windows Vista - Double click on the filename ... DC-3NH-FSX V2.exe ... and then follow the on-screen instructions to where the "Installation Path" is displayed. Now navigate to where your copy of FSX is installed and examine the file names. You MAY! find that FSX is located in a folder titled "Microsoft Flight Simulator X". If this  is  the case you must modify the installation path to point to the 'Default' location of  FSX on your C: Drive. If you have installed FSX in any other than the 'default' location you will       also have to take this into account  and again change the path to the correct location of your own installation of FSX.

5) That is it, you are done?

6) If  you decide you need to uninstall this program you will find an 'Uninstall_DC-3NH.exe' file in the main FSX folder which will cleanly remove the aircraft and gauges

FINDING THIS AIRCRAFT
=====================
