READ ME file for the Interplane Skyboy. This is version 1.0 by Don Halcom for the FS2002 PRO.

This is FREEWARE and that means you cannot sell it. You are free to use it and even give copies away but nothing else. If you like the files (gauges, etc.) and you want to use them elsewhere in your flight simulator feel free to do so. If you use them in one of your models for other FREEWARE distribution, it is considered common courtesy to obtain the permission of the original person who made the item you want to use and to cite them in your FREEWARE. This is what I do now.

Thanks to Byron Warwick for his absolutely wonderful FSC file of the Rotax 912 engine. Without this engine this project would never have been attempted. I converted this engine from tractor to pusher for the Skyboy.

Thanks to Barry Blaisdell for his excellent Rotax 912 sound files. As far as I know these are the only Rotax 912 sound files on the internet. There are other Rotax sound files just not Rotax 912 sound files.

Thanks to Ike H. Slack for his "gpsmap295.gau" file that is used in conjuction with the gps.gau file that comes with FS2002. This gauge simulates the Garmin GPSMAP295.

Thanks to Microsoft for some of the gauges used in this model were the gauges that came with FS2002 PRO and should be in your FS2002 simulator. These gauges are shown in the panel.cfg file and should be present on your computer or the plane will not fly correctly.

I did all of the gauges in the "Skyboy.cab" file. As FREEWARE you are free to use them in any way you like except to make money.
