North American T-28C, PP-YRC, of the Institute of Tropical Meteorology , repaint and upgrade for FS2002 of Mike Field and John Spangler's original "Weather Research" aircraft. By Luiz Alvarenga.
******************************************************************************************
Used to do meteorological research in the tropics, this T-28 has the colours of the INTROMET - Instituto Tropical de Meteorologia in the northern part of Brazil, around the Equator Line. Powered by a 1425 hp Wright Engine, this aircraft is very fast, robust and nice to fly around. She can take off from small airports and with full flaps land in very short runways.
Besides the repaint, the aircraft.cfg was updated to make use of FS-2002 improvements. The VFR panel was also revised with visual enhancements, inclusion of GPS, FS-2002 icons and a weather radar. The original IFR panel made by John Spangler is also included.
INSTALLATION:
1 - Unzip the contents of this pack to a temporay folder.
2 - Move the T-28C-ITM folder to the FS2002\AIRCRAFT folder.
3 - Move the files inside the gauges folder to the main FS2002\GAUGES folder.
NOTES:
A - The sound is set to use FS's Corsair sound (I don't know if it is available in FS' Standard Edition), which is also a Wright radial engine, and "sounds" good..:-). If you prefer something louder/stronger, you'll enjoy the Warbird sound set (WBIRD.ZIP), by Mike Hambly, that can be downloaded from SurClaro.
B - The cockpit lighting at night was set to a minimum, in order to improve outside visibility. If you wish to increase light intensity, open the panel.cfg file and look for the following lines:
Increasing the Night values (for ex. Night=96,96,96) will increase cockpit lighting. White light corresponds to equal numbers.
