P-38L Lightning for FS2002 by David C. Copley
version 1.3.0
11 Mar 2002
1) Unzip the file P38L_Lightning.zip in FS2002's Aircraft folder. A new folder called P-38L_Lightning will be created. Several sub-folders will also be created.
2) From P-38L_Lightning's gauges sub-folder, copy the file xp-38n_diveflaps.gau to FS2002's gauges folder.
If you want to use the dive recovery flaps, DO NOT FORGET STEP TWO.
Notes:
This model is intended for Flight Simulator 2002 only.
There are actually three visual models contained within the same P-38L Lightning folder. Three P-38Ls will show up in the Aircraft section menu: P-38L Lightning, P-38L "Bong's 42" and P-38L "Jane."
