This aircraft was built using version 2.79.45 of the 714th's Assembly Line.
To install,
1. download the plane 1US PB4Y-1 from http://www.avhistory.org/
2. follow the install procedures listed in the README's from there
just replace CFS2 with FS2002
3. unzip this archive to your new installed aircraft folder
4. move the files from FS2002\aircraft\1US_PB4Y-1\2KPB4Y-1 to their proper
locations and overwrite the CFS2 versions
5. you have to have installed several CFS2 stock gauges as well as Concorde
gauges to use all panel features - consult panel.cfg for details
6. get B-24 sounds from e.g. the file 'rl24snds.zip'
from http://www.SurClaro/
7. there are PB4Y-1 splash screens as well as an intro flight from
Kaneohe to Kwajalein and an AFCAD file for Kaneohe for your pleasure.
Please don't ask questions that can be avoided, reading all the txt's.

developers notes
----------------
This is a released version 1.0 of my approach to build a 1% aircraft
according to the 1% assembly line at http://www.avhistory.org/ .
This plane was tested at 100% reality settings within CFS2 and FS2002
Engine parameters should all be correct and the procedures listed in the
checklist are correct from the original and should also work correctly.
Please mail suggestions to mailto:tomk@swissinfo.org (Tom Kohler, June 2002)
