FS2002 Alaskan Winds Douglas DC-3 2xPack
Two DC-3s of the Alaskan Winds Oldies fleet:
AWO official livery and The Great Satchmo!
By João Paz, January 2002
Based on the great DDA DC-3 model by Jan Visser.
(requires r4d_2k2.zip and r4dv40up.zip by Roy Chaffin and Bill Rambow).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alaskan Winds Air Service operates a charter service throughout
the Great State of Alaska, and aims to honor the incredible
array of brave pilots whom, in their fragile birds,
made Alaska possible in its early American years.

First, let me Thank You for downloading this file! Hope you may enjoy it as much as I am :-)
I'd like also to thank again all those behind the R4D project (namely Jan Visser, Roy Chaffin and Bill Rambow). Along with Fred Banting's Beavers MKI pack - and on personal note - this is the best add-on for FS ever done.
The Great Satchmo! was previously released for FS2000; the main Alaskan Winds DC-3 is just now coming to public. The FS2000 readme is still included in case you'd like to know a bit more about it, and because of all the previous CREDITS, too.
***Just disregards any intructions concerning the installation there!***
If you already installed the Satchmo on your new FS2002 you may just delete the whole folder :-)
Included are also several screenshots of both birds in .jpg format.
To install this file
--------------------
(1)
As stated you must have intalled (and registered!) on your system the recent release of the R4D Team for FS2002. You'll need the following files:
r4d_2k2.zip and r4dv40up.zip
If you don't have them already go ahead and download them! Register that great pack, it's well worth the 5 bucks... and what's really remarkable is that the money goes to a noble cause (getting the real NATS Douglas R4D-6 off the ground) and not to the designers. My honest compliments to you fine Gentleman.
(2)
You must have followed the R4D Team instructions about renaming their aircraft folder...
... from "Douglas R4D-6 NATS v4.0" to "Douglas R4D-6"
(3)
Unzip the Alaskan Winds pack (this one) into the main FS2002 folder with the subfolders option checked. Everything will fall into place.
This will create a folder called...
"AWDouglasDC-3"
...inside the main Aircraft folder. The Alaskan Winds birds will look for the R4D for the panel and sounds!
(4)
Now, locate the R4D folder called "Douglas R4D-6". Select the following files....
r4d_2k2_check.txt
r4d_check.cfg
r4d_ref.txt
RC_R4DV1.6.air
RC_R4Dv1.6_notes.txt
***DON'T select the aircraft.cfg file!***
... and COPY them (NOT CUT!) to inside the "AWDouglasDC-3" folder.
(5)
There's no (5) ... It's done :-) Go fly!!
