Cockpit Editor 1.2CE

Originally by Microprose

================================
INTRODUCTION

This is the actual Cockpit Editor used by Microprose in the late 1990s to create the original default 
cockpits that came with the game. This install will patch your game to a version that is not compatible for 
any type of online play. 

So, please consider this just another tool for editing. I will try to help anyone that 
needs it as far as the editor is concerned, but please don't post or email me because the sound isn't right 
(which it isn't).

The first thing to keep in mind is that this is an editor for the 2D cockpit files, with the format of 
P***VIEW.CPT. I refer to them as Pview files. This does not mean that it's not useful for the 3D cockpits,
though. Not by a long shot. If you create a new cockpit, there is no easier way to adjust the needles and
sprites than by using this editor. There are some workarounds needed to get everything to work properly,
but most of that is only if you are building a new cockpit file from scratch -- which is now possible!

There is a lot to cover in this readme and there are some functions of the Editor that still need to be 
worked out. I will update this readme periodically as new information comes to light. If anyone should have
mew inmformation about the functions of the Editor, please contact me at SimHQ our my email below.

Good luck, and good editing!!!
