Global Layout

The panel is composed of 3 views: the front view, the overhead view and the pedestal view.
When you load the panel, it should appear with the front view.

This panel does not work like most FS2002 panels. To display the overhead panel or the pedestal, you must not use Shift-2 or Shift-3. You must look up to see the overhead panel, and look down to see the pedestal, or use the corresponding clickable areas. It works like in the real aircraft, and this is why I implemented it this way. If you look up, you see the overhead panel, and you keep seeing outside with a different angle of view. If you look down to see the pedestal, you don't see outside the aircraft any more.

FS2002 default keys to look up is Ctrl-NumPad 8, and look down is Ctrl-NumPad 5. You can easily change these key assignments in FS2002, which I did because I think those keys are not very easy to use.
The following picture shows the global layout of the 3 views, and the legend of the major instruments. It also shwos the clickable areas (in green) which allow you to change the view from the Front View to the Overhead View, or from the Front View to the Pedestal View, and vice-versa.
