# Cockpit and help-screen transcriptions [Open the resource browser](resources/index.html). Manually checked against every decoded image, with OCR used only as a draft. Columns are separated into reading order; text within explanatory panels retains line breaks. Diagram labels are included; graphical gauges, arrows and numeric dial ticks are not reproduced as text. Original wording and conspicuous misspellings are retained; interword spacing and key-table alignment are normalised. There are two cockpit-mask variants and 25 distinct help-screen images across the scanned editions. The reference 3.42 installation contains one cockpit and ten help screens. No. 14 is an additional first-run welcome page found in 1.20. ## 3D.IMG — Cockpit instrument panel [Decoded image](resources/cockpits/3d-ead2f72e.png) · source SHA-256 `ead2f72e60ee99ab84ff47e8e0e00d7ed5aca67e0bb109923dc0d4a90cfa7c48` Editions: deluxe_dnk, other_worlds_download, shareware_2_0, deluxe_floppy, shareware_3_4, shareware_3_42, original_install, shareware_2_0_played_floppy, deluxe_download.
