Release Notes

Release Notes:

While we went with an auto-installer for the initial release, using a "master" aircraft with subsequent aircraft aliased to it, I've now opted to release each aircraft individually, with common files, such as sound, panel and weapons, downloadable as separate elements. This will be slightly more work for you, the end user, but it gives you more control over your computer. When you are done, you will know what files you werer given, and where you put them. Anyway, at least that is the theory.

Be sure you have CFS2 set to 32-bit color display or the planes will not display properly. This is not limited to these airplanes, most add-on aircraft have the same problem. If you use 16-bit color, you lose a certain amount of depth of field, and pieces that are really close to one another will tend to "bleed through" each other, with unpredictable results. Nothing harmful, just very annoying. To check your display settings, go to "settings", then to "Advanced Settings". On the right hand side is a box that indicates screen resolution, followed by bits. Mine is set for 1024x768x32 (1024 pixels by 768 pixels, 32-bit color.) This works for me, whether or not it will work for you depends on your computer equipment. If you have any doubts or questions, seek out help before you start messing around!

These aircraft are all version 1.1, and updates will be issued as necessary. A major update will be when I process these aircraft with FSDS v2, allowing such things as breaking parts and other goodies. Check back for updates.

Check out the Add-Ons page for some neat effects that I think enhance the CFS2 experience. I have been told that these planes will work in both Flight Simulator 2000 and Flight Simulator 2002, but I make no guarantee that this is indeed true.

These planes are the result of the labors of myself and several other people, who worked tirelessly, without compensation, to build an add-on airplane. Many others have contributed to this effort as well, both directly and indirectly. It represents the best of human endeavor, and all I ask is that you respect that, enjoy it in the spirit it was given, and don't abuse or mis-use it.

Enjoy!
