=======================================================================
Base		:The exterior based on cockpits by Paolo Gianello 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 (v2_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 1.81 to export the cpd file AND 
    the cockpit layout  (before doing this you should change the colour
    scheme so that the 4 LCD boxes are DARK RED).

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



* Other Information *

This is an update of my Mclaren MP4-14 cockpit. I wasn't satisfied 
with a couple of things in the first version, so decided to make a much
better version. 

As before you have to run the simple patch in order to get the right 
cockpit layout.  The first version of my Mclaren was put together very 
quickly, and I noticed the patch didn't work.  This has been fixed now,
so there won't be any problem in running it.  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.
