One of the most successful fighters in the modern era was the small, simple, high performance F-5 series. Reversing the trend of ever more larger, expensive, and complex combat aircraft, the little F-5 found favor in many of the world's air arms. With high performance, agility, and small size, a well flown F-5 can still hold it's own against the latest fighters.
1)After downloading the zip, locate it, and extract the file to a temp folder.
2)Copy the folder FAM_F5A over to your FS aircraft folder
3) Copy the f5a.cab, BURNERS.cab, and hunterfx.cab gauge files over to your FS2004 Gauges folder. Copy any effects fx files to the sim's effects folder.
4) During this installation, you may be asked to overwrite some files. This may be due to you already having some of my planes installed. Overwrite or not, choice is yours.
5) Double check everything before e-mailing me! 99% of problems can be solved this way:-) Since you are reading this, you are way ahead of the dimwits who don't bother to read readme files!:-p
BEFORE YOU FLY!.......
See steps 1 to 5 above:)
NOTAMS:
F-5A's never had any fuel gauges for external or tip tanks, other that a visual prefight check. FS will burn external fuel first, then tip tank fuel, and then internal fuel.
KNOWN BUGS:
The start switches in the VC don't work properly (don't know why?), but the 2-d pop-up start switches will work. Or you can just use CTL e (auto-start).
