########################################################################
PLEASE, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PACKAGE !!!
This archive contains a set of gauges, effects and sounds and is part of
Adam Preece /Alejandro Villa's Sea Harrier for FS2004.
This package is already pre-installed in the Sea Harrier.
To have the Cannon sound audible, you must have my "Carrier Operation Package"
(file rcbco-11.zip) already installed; if not, you will NOT hear the Cannon
sound.
1. Functionality
================
This package contains the following items:
- Engine smoke effects, coupled to:
- WING LIGHT (#8), for nozzle/smoke directed downward.
Effect ON: When engine is running AND throttle greater than 40% AND
flaps less than 75%.
- LOGO LIGHT (#9), for nozzle/smoke directed backwards.
Effect ON: When engine is running AND throttle greater than 40% AND
flaps greater than 25%.
- Wingtip vortex effect, coupled to TAXI LIGHT (#6).
Effect ON: When airspeed is greater than 100 Knots IAS, AND Gforce greater
than 2 or Aileron deflection greater than 10 degrees.
- Cannon fire effect, coupled to RECOGNITION LIGHT (#7).
Effect ON: when the aircraft is above 20 ft AND right brake is ON
(for toebrakes: right brake min. 20% depressed)
All these effects are controlled by gauge HarrierEffectControl.xml.
Please make sure that no other gauge in your panel is using these Light
switches 6 - 9, because they will conflict.
For sound, it uses Doug Dawson's ADF2-based xmlsound gauge: a Cannon fire sound
(dsd_xml_94.wav) is played while the cannon is active.
TIP: when adding a gauge to the 2D section (usually [Window00]) of a panel,
you must have the 2D Cockpit View visible at least ONCE before the gauge
is active; so if you startup in e.g. Spotplane view, the gauge does NOT
work yet.
2. Credit, Copyrights and Disclaimer
============================
This package is freeware, and is available for your personal use.
Without my explicite permission, it may NOT be sold, re-distributed and/or
uploaded to another website or bulletin board in ANY shape or form.
If you want to bundle (part of) this package with your (freeware) aircraft,
you may ONLY do so AFTER my explicite permission and inclusion of this
README file AS-IS.
And obviously, installing & using this package is at your own risk.
Credit goes to DSB Design, for their permission to include their cannon fire
effect and sound.
3. Closure
==========
I hope you will enjoy using this package, as I did creating it.
And I am always open to questions, or suggestions for improvement (no
guarantee that I will make them though).
But PLEASE PLEASE, before asking me questions or report "bugs", make sure that
the answer can't be found in this README file.
