FOREWORD
==========
Aermacchi is now developing a next-generation jet trainer designated the "M-346". This program began as a joint effort with the Yakovlev organization , resulting in the construction of a demonstrator, which is now performing test flights.

Thank you for downloading this package, we hope you'll enjoy it.

IMPORTANT!
===========
You MUST also insert the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in the Main FS2004 folder, otherwise you will experience an FS crash!!


FREEWARE!
=========

This model features highly reflective metallic skin and full animations.
Two liveries are provided, one with factory livery, for the Prototype Roll-Out and one in blue livery, for the demonstrator. the latest, was flown in a recent air show in Pratica di Mare military airport Rome.
The panel background is based on photographic material found on the net. Official instruments data are not available, so we used many EFA gauges.
Included in this model there is also a simplified Virtual Cockpit, with working essential flight instruments and animated flight controls.



INSTALLATION
============
Unzip this file into your FlightSimulator9/aircraft folder and you will find the "Aermacchi M-346" folder with the usual subfolders, including a "M346-gauges" folder containing all the gauges needed and a 'GougeSound.dll', then operate as follows:

Step 1-Copy/Paste the contents of the "M346-gauges" in the main FlightSimulator9 'Gauge' folder.

Step 2-Copy/Paste the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in your main FlightSimulator9 folder (if you don't have it yet).

We think this should be the end of the installation procedure.

...Many happy landings!


TIP
====
You will find this plane listed in the Aircraft Manufacturer as "Aermacchi".
