Manual for Stratojet Merlin
A: Installation
First
please delete the old/previous version (if installed)!
Unzip the files into a temp folder.
Copy the file “GaugeSound.dll” into your main FS9 folder or / and into your
windows\system 32 folder.
Copy the "Merlin" folder with the subfolders in your
FS2004\aircraft folder.
Copy the gauges from the "gauge" folder in the FS2004\gauges folder.
VERY IMPORTANT:
YOU MUST COPY THE FILE “GaugeSound.dll” INTO
YOUR MAIN FS2004 FOLDER OR / AND INTO YOUR
WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 FOLDER!
If you don’t do this FS2004 will crash and returning to the desktop after selecting the aircraft.
Emails
with complaints resulting from an incorrect installation will not be answered!!
This plane has been tested with FS2004 only and probably only works correctly
with this version.
I used a Pentium 4 3.8 and a Radeon X850XT PE graphic card. I don't know if
the frame rate is correct with a slower machine.
I used a resolution of 1280x1024 and the FS2004 running in "window"
mode (maximized).
The joystick i used is not a force feedback so i can not set the forces
correctly!
This version has been created only for FS2004. It is probably not compatible
with previous FS-versions.

|
Middle
(blue) levers: prop blade pitch angle |
|
|
Right
(red) levers: engine mixture |

Note: if
you are not familiar with the settings of this gauge please select in the

Engine control gauges Please note that each gauge displays the values for both engines. In each gauge are two needles, a yellow (front engine) and a white one (rear engine)
Turbo Boost: indicates the position of the wastegate |
|
|
0 = no additional air to
the engine (no supercharging) |
|
|
100 = 100% to the engine (maximal
supercharging) |
|
|
The wastegate is controlled by altitude. The higher the
altitude, the higher pressure delivered to the engine (max supercharging @
25500 feet). |
|
|
|
C: Display
The custom
gauges are optimized to be used at a resolution of 1280x1024 and the FS2004
running in "window" mode (maximized).
They has
been tested only at this resolution!
D: Sound
The sound has been created by David C. Copley exclusively for my
aircraft.
It has been recorded from a real P-40E, with an Allison V-1710 engine.
Don’t use
