FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2000 LOCKHEED MARTIN F-16C FALCON Block 50 VERSION 1.50

INSTALLATION
To install this package you must extract this zip file into your main Flight Simulator 2000 folder using the "USE DIRECTORY NAMES" or "RECURSE SUBFOLDERS" Winzip option enabled. This allows Winzip to recreate the proper subfolders and puts the files in their correct place. If you have any trouble you can verify the correct placement of each file looking at the Winzip windows under the PATH column.
PLEASE NOTE that unlike most planes this one IS NOT COMPATIBLE with Flight Simulator 98 or Combat Flight Simulator.
ALSO NOTE that you need to have FS2000 PROFESSIONAL EDITION TO have the panel 100% working.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.5
- High resolution 360-degree virtual cockpit
- Fixed panel layout bug
- Squadron and nationality insigna removed

Version 1.0
- Fixed Taileron dihedral angle
- Fixed Aileron/Flaperon. Since the F-16 uses a mixed Flaperon/Taileron aerodynamic control, that is impossible to reproduce in FS2K, I've made the Flaperons to work as Ailerons and the Tailerons to Work as Horizontal Stabilizers.
- Totally reworked the panel.It is still VFR and mostly non-functional, but has a very high visibility. The bitmap is taken from Falcon 4 with a 3rd party add-on. I understand it is from the Check 6 group.
