This is a full package (aircraft and panel) and it is for FS 2004, but it should work also in fs2002, except the GPS, to be displayed at 1024x768 resolution or more.

HISTORY
========
The Shooting Star was the first USAF aircraft to exceed 500 mph in level flight, the first American jet airplane to be manufactured in large quantities and the first USAF jet to be used in combat.
Thank you for downloading this package, I hope you'll enjoy it.

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

FREEWARE!
=========

FOREWORD
========
The model has been created by myself and my collegue Capt. Giovanni Quai with Abacus FSDS_v2: it features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, spinning wheels and so on.
The panel has been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic material, and also the most part of the gauges have been created by the author. Included in this model there is also a very simple Virtual Cockpit, with working essential gauges and animated flight controls.


INSTALLATION
============

Just unzip this file into your FS2004/aircraft folder and you will find an "F80" folder with the usual subfolders, a 'GougeSound.dll', a 'F80_Gauges.zip' and a 'sound_required.zip' then operate as follows:

Step 1-Unzip the 'F80_Gauges.zip' in the main FS2004 'Gauge' folder.

Step 2-Copy/Paste the 'GougeSound.dll' in your main FS2004 folder (if you don't have it yet).

Step 3-Unzip the enclosed 'sound_required.zip' file in the main FS2004 'Sound' folder.

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

...Have happy flights!
