INSTALLATION FOR FS2002:

INSTALLATION: Unzip the file "p47bl2k2.ZIP"into your "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2000\Aircraft" Folder. Your should end up with a folder named "P47d usaf blue".
Under the folder "P47d usaf blue", you will have five folders:

MODEL
PANEL
SMOKE EFFECTS
SOUND
TEXTURE

SMOKE:
You must copy the file "fx_hb_exhaustsmoke-2.fx from the "SMOKE
EFFECTS" Folder to the "effects" folder under FS2002. You will see many
other "fx" files in that folder.

SMOKE SYSTEM INFO:
The white smoke system is already activated, as shown in
"Fw190smoke.jpg". You can change to the "black engine smoke"
by changing the [SMOKE SYSTEM]
entries in file "Aircraft.cfg" by using NOTEPAD.
The instructions are included at the bottom of "aircraft.cfg" file.
The black engine exhaust smoke is very thin and can only be
seen against the blue sky or other light background. You must copy
the smoke effects file as instructed above for the engine exhaust effect
to work.

SOUND and PANEL:
This Acft will use the default P47D Panel and the C182 Sound.
If you want to use the stock CFS, P47D engine sounds, download file
"p47sound.zip" from "SurClaro" and replace the "Sound" folder
with the new folder containing the P47D sounds.


AIRCRAFT SELECTION in FS2002:
When selecting this aircraft in FS2002 it will be listed in the
"Select Aircraft" Dialog box as:

This Acft will use the default P47d Panel, which is already
in the "PANEL" folder. When selecting this aircraft in
FS2002 it will read "P47d AAF". If you have any problems
with this aircraft, e-mail me at the address below.

P-47D INFORMATION:
See file "P47d Info.doc".
See file "P47_photo.jpg"
See file "P47smoke.jpg" for smoke effects.

I could not make the repaint an exact reproduction of the
photograph due to the limitations that Microsoft puts on
the model template. I used the same colors as the
photograph and markings from another aircraft photo.

CFS AIRCRAFT NOTES:
If you have CFS and can not display any of your aircraft in FS2002,
I have posted some modified "MDL" files for those aircraft. The new
generic files will allow you to display the P47, Fw109 and BF190 aircraft in FS2002.

Download files:

file "190to2k2".zip" for the default CFS, FW190 aircraft.
file "p47d2k2.zip" for the default CFS, P47D aircraft.
file "bf1092k2.zip" for the default CFS, BF109 aircraft.


ADDITIONAL NOTES:
All of my C182RG, T-41, Extra 300S and Learjet 45 aircraft
can be flown in CFS2 by downloading the CFS2 DP files
created by JEAN-JACQUES PAREL. Several of my aircraft
are in military colors and suitable for CFS2. You can search
for his files by using the file search function. Search for "Parel"
or use the specific file names listed below. You can also search
for all of my aircraft under "Bongiovanni" to determine if you want

NOTES: If you like to fly out of Meigs Airport, you should download the file
"Meigs1.zip from SurClaro. You will love how he improved the
scenery for FS2000. Look for quality scenery and tutorials by Andreas Klisch.
