DISCLAIMER:
No warranty of any kind is implied. The author has taken the step of testing on multiple machines without problem;
however I cannot be held responsible if something terrible happens to your system.
Installation:
1) BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING-- Please!
*Delete your .BDP files*
2) Either copy the specific loadout text to your aircraft .xdp file: CFS3/aircraft/your_bird's_name.xdp from the stock xdp files provided in the pack, or
as i like to do copy the loadout text from the stock xdp file provided to the standalone plane of a similar type. This way you will not harm your stock birds .xdp file and
will therefore be ok for stock multiplay games. JUST REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ANYTHING YOU CHANGE!!! (its better to be safe than sorry eh)
*****Loadouts are included for ALL 34 stock CFS3 aircraft as well as 12 popular add-on aircraft (see below)*****
3) Copy all four (4) flare folders to your CFS3/weapons folder
4) Copy flare_t.dds to your CFS3/weapons/shared_weapons folder
5) Copy all the other textures (36) to your CFS3/fxtextures folder im unsure as to if this is needed as i wasnt involved in the original project and it may effect
some of your modified effects if you have them you might want to experiment without them.
6) After *backing up your original*, add the following lines to the bottom of your effects.xml in your main CFS3 folder using notepad (already installed on your machine).
7) Enjoy
8) Don't forget to post your screenies
9) hope to see some great missions for those up coming lancs and the b17 :o)
KNOWN ISSUES
1) When your fire a given color of flare for the very first time, it *may* look a bit 'blocky'
this does not happen with successive salvos.
2) The placement of the flares is less than ideal on a few aircraft, notably the FW 190.
If someone would like to build new pylons that look good, *please let me know*!
