=======================================================================
Base		:The exterior based on cockpits by Paolo Gianello, David 
		 Mueller and Sergio del Rosso. The interior based on Breeze 
		 Darzev's Mclaren cockpit. The patch is also from Breeze's 
		 Mclaren (I think it was written by Marc Aarts) Many thanks 
		 to all!
Editor(s) used	:Neopaint, Paint Shop Pro, Gp2edit, Gp2LCD editor95
Known Bugs	:I don't think so - but if you see any tell me and I'll 
	         try and fix it
       


* Installation *

1.) First extract all the files in this zip to your GP2 directory
    (They have to be in the same directory as your gp2.exe)

2.) Run the patch program (ed_patch.exe).   This will sort out the 
    cockpit's LCD display. This has to be done BEFORE exporting the cpd 
    file!
    (Just ignore the message you get after running the patch - it was
    originally written for Breeze Darzev's cockpit)    

3.) After the patch, then use GP2edit to load and export the cpd file 
    AND the cockpit layout  
!!You should change the colour scheme so that the 4 LCD boxes are RED!!  


Sorry this is a little complicated, but I think it's worth it.



* Other Information *

This is a no tobacco version of my MP4-14 cockpit.  As before you have 
to run the simple patch in order to get the right cockpit layout. It's 
important you do this otherwise the cockpit layout will be messed up.

I've tried to include as many driver aids as possible without cluttering
up the cockpit. The only one missing is F6 (suggested gear). The others
can be seen on the wheel as buttons (F1-F3 on the left,  F4-F7 on the
right). When these are not available (when de-activated in GP2edit)they 
appear as grey buttons.  

Don't forget to use Gp2edit to change the colours of the LCD boxes, as 
described above.
