This repaint was created using the Baron 58 repaint kit built by Chris Klein & Bob Hayes.
If you like the paint scheme, remember to thank them, since there work made this possible.


This Repaint is FREEWARE. License is granted for personal use only. This scheme may be
redistributed freely for personal use. No money is to be charged for this repaint scheme.
If you don't like these terms, download the paint kit and draw your own.

INSTALL AND USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Note: It works on my machine, but I know how to repaint and install aircraft and otherwise
fool around with the simulator settings and get things running. I make no guarantee as to
your ability to install and use this software, nor to the configuration of your machine or
simulation software. If you follow the directions below, using your head, you should have
no trouble, however I make no guarantee either stated or implied that it will work on your
machine, or that your installing it will not damage the machine or data on our machine, so
you must do so at your own risk. That said: Good Luck.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION: (replace existing/default levery)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all Backup your beech_baron_58 directory (in case you screw up)
In the beech_baron_58 directory do the following:
1. extract the file of this zip file to some directory
2. copy the bmp files from the some directory to the texture directory.
4. Modify the aircraft.cfg file changing the Title and ui_variation settings to match the
new paint scheme
5. Launch the program and see if it worked.
If so, blow away the backup and have fun.
Otherwise, restore the backup, unplug the machine and ship it to your mother. She might
have better success.

INSTALLATION: (add new livery)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all Backup your beech_baron_58 directory (in case you screw up)
In the beech_baron_58 directory do the following:
1. create a texture unique directory called texture.? where the ? is the next series number
(if you have texture, texture.1 already, create texture.2)
2. extract the file of this zip file to some directory
3. copy the bmp files from the some directory to the nex texture directory.
4. Modify the aircraft.cfg file (see notes below if you need help with this.)
5. Launch the program and see if it worked.
If so, blow away the backup and have fun.
Otherwise, restore the backup, unplug the machine and ship it to your mother. She might
have better success.

NOTES ON AIRCRAFT.CFG MODIFICATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modify the aircraft.cfg file to add paint schemes (ui variations) in 2002 and 204 is not
hard. There are a few things one must keep in mind while doing it, however:
1. each ui variation has a section called fltsim.? where the ? is replaced by a number.
when you are done with the file, the first in the file should be .0 and the numbers
should increase by one (not skipping) If you skip a number, the program will stop
loading variations at the skip.
2. the texture setting tells the extension of the texture directory used by this variation
it is possible to point multiple variations to the same directory (see Cessna 172 VFR
and IFR panel variations), however the simplest is to number the directories with
numbers that match the fltsim.? value and then make sure the texture setting has that
same number (see below for example)
3. The title is used when the program saves and loads the flight. If you have a flight
saved using a particular aircraft and delete the aircraft with that title, or merely
change the title, that flight will not load. If the flight is your default fliaght, then
you simulator will not launch.
4. The UI variation is displayed in the select aircraft dialog (listed alphabetically)

Below are two ui variation sections of the aircraft.cfg file. The first is the default
variation the second is an example of a new variation.
