**** VERY IMPORTANT ****
Although the groundhandling5 gauge doesn't use FSUIPC itself
if you have the unregistered version of FSUIPC V4.0.0 or V4.0.1
(the very first FSX versions) installed
you MUST upgrade to V4.0.2 or higher
otherwise the Pushback-turn will not work.
If you haven't got a clue what FSUIPC is
then just ignore this remark.

**** IMPORTANT--IMPORTANT--IMPORTANT****
Due to differences in the Brakes implementation in FSX
with respect to the use of Toebrakes pedals,
activate (remove the "//" in front of the line)
gauge03= ONLY when you use proportional
toebrake pedals, like the CH Pro Pedals.
Removing the "//" will force the
Taxispeed gauge to use proportional Brake
commands (like your pedals)
instead of normal Brake commands.
