FSX OV-10A Series FSX-ONLY
New FSX-ONLY models and Tex's for my recent OV-10A Series Release. This all-inclusive new pack contains new .mdl's and 2048x2048 DXT5 textures,made with the latest FSX Accel/SP2 SDK'S. Will work without my earlier FS9 OV-10A Pack. NOT tested in Vista/DX10

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

2)Back up the existing OV-10A_V2 folder, just in case!

3)Delete the OV-10A_V2 folder

4)Unzip the OV-10A_FSX folder you just unzipped.

5)Now copy the OV-10A_FSX folder into your FSX aircraft folder

6)Just like you did with my first OV-10A pack, open the texture folder labeled "texture" (it's the first one), and copy the

ov10a_03_T
ov10a_aircrew_T
ov10a_prop_T
ov10a_glass_T
f5a_reflection_T

textures, then paste them into the other texture folders. I did this to keep download size smaller.

7) The panel now uses a couple of my PC-7 gauges, so I included the PC-7.cab file. If you have my PC-7 already, no need to reload them.

8) If you don't already have the vc_light effects file, install the

fx_vclight_deepred

to your FSX effects folder


BEFORE YOU FLY!.....
See steps 1 to 8 above:)


NOTAMS:

Canopy levers in VC will now work properly, as do more of the switches, even though they might not do anything.
SHF e will open the rightside canopy. (normal means of entry/exit)
SHF e 2 will open the left canopy
SHF e 3 will open the aft fuselage pod hatch.

Since the new models are FSX Spec, the canopy,and self-shadowing also now render properly.

Yeah, there are some other things I could have done, or learned, but time to move on to new things.:-)

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 help you, or 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,(well, just the pirate assholes!) I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck,
