=== Including the instrument in an aircraft ===

Now to the exciting bit, actually seeing the fruits of our labour in FlightGear!  

Including our itt.xml file in the fokker50 is actually an easy step. The "model" XML file controls the 3d model; this is often called aircraftname-model.xml and nearly always lives in the aircraftname/Models directory. However, FG is very flexible and in this case, the model XML file is fokker50/Models/fokker50.xml . To avoid confusion, it would be preferable for this to be called fokker50-model.xml, and if you're creating one from scratch, please use that convention.

Now, when you start FlightGear, you should see your fully-working instrument in all its glory, situated where it ought to be! If you need to move it later, it's trivial to tweak the numbers above to suit.
