Usage

To use the Cockpit Histopack is simple. All instruments provided in thie pack fit within the "footprint" of the original instruments, and despite their historic look, they have identical functionality to the default instruments.

If you have an aircraft without any customized instruments ...

... simply drop the "cockpit" folder of this package into the aircraft folder - installation complete!

If you have an aircraft with some customized instruments that you want to keep ...

  1. Move your "cockpit" folder out of the aircraft folder
  2. Drop the drop the "cockpit" folder of this package into the aircraft folder
  3. Move your "cockpit" folder back into the aircraft folder - installation complete!

If you have an aircraft with some customized instruments that you want to keep, and others you want to replace ...

... well, you're probably knowing what you're doing anyhow. Simply copy the instruments one-by-one, preferrably starting with the Histopack in place because it very likely contains a much larger of instruments so you'll keep the workload down by just copying your personal creations.

Scope

Here is a list of the instrument modifications and replacements that are part of the Histopack:

Acknowledgements:

A big thanks to all the contributors listed here! Without your help, I'd probably not even have started this project, and certainly not have achieved the same quality I could with your help :-)

You can help ...

... to further advance the state of the art in X-Plane aircraft building by providing more (or better) historical instruments for the Histopack.

If you have made a certain historical instrument that looks like a likely candidate for the Histopack, contact HoHun and donate your instrument for inclusion in the package! (Only if you agree with having your work distributed according to the Histopack license below, of course.)

Please don't hesitate to submit instruments that are already included in this pack if your version is different - for example, the radio equipment in the current Histopack is pretty generic, and a more authentic version that still complies with the restrictions of the X-Plane user interface would be really a great addition!/

License

You have my permission to use this package or parts of it in any way you'd like, and to re-distribute modified packages as long as you mention the original source as "Includes Cockpit Histopack by HoHun" (or "Includes parts of ..." if appropriate) somewhere in the documentation.

If you'd like to encourage use of the Cockpit Histopack by other aircraft builders, you could of course advertise it in a prominent place, but that's optional.
