FS2004 Kuat Systems ETA-2 Actis "Jedi Interceptor"
The Eta-2's were used by Jedi pilots during the last days of the Clone Wars. Not much larger than the average airspeeder, the Eta-2 was a fast and sporty space fighter. During combat, heat-sink wings can be extended to dissipate excess engine heat. This FS9 release includes both Obi-Wan Kenobi's and Anakin Skywalker's Interceptors. Each has full ani's, VC with custom gauges, and appropiate paint scheme, pilots, and astromech droids.


Installation:
1)After downloading the zip, locate it, and extract the file to a temp folder.

2)Copy the folder ETA-2 over to your FS aircraft folder


3) Open the gauges folder, and copy the
eta.cab and hunterfx.cab gauges into your FS Gauges Folder.

4)Copy the 2 effects files from the effects folder over to you FS effects folder.


5) Double check everything before e-mailing me! 99% of problems can be solved this way:-) Since you are reading this, you are way ahead of the dimwits who don't read readme files!:-p

BEFORE YOU FLY!.......
See steps 1 to 5 above:)


NOTAMS:
These Star Wars ships were built for pure fun seat-of-the-pants flying. So they may not be the fastest, or have the most complex panels,etc, but I hope you will enjoy them anyway:)

The radiator wings are mapped to the Water Rudder key. You may have to custom map a key in FS controls assignments.
On my FS, it's SHF w.
The Engines are equipped with thrust reversers.

Gauge Listing...
Core Speed = N1 RPM
Core Temp = EGT
Ion Press. = Oil Press.
Ion Temp. = Oil Temp.
Repulser Lift Angle = Flaps
Landing Pads = Landing Gear (duh..)
Droid Heat = Pitot Heat
L,R Shield Power = L,R Engine Deice
Power Cells = Master Battery
Star Nav Lights = Nav Lights
The other gauges and switches are pretty much self explanatory.

The effects and their gauges are used with permission from Rick Piper, with help from Dave Garwood. I think there may bits of other gauges in there, but I'm not sure who made what when how where...

Enjoy!
This model was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards.
If something is "missing", or "wrong", oh well, you got it for a good price:-) For a one-man shop, I think I do pretty well:-p

As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(SEE BELOW), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.

Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others.

I only upload to SurClaro, and Sim-Outhouse.com. If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e-mail addy
I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck, and have Fun!
