INSTALLATION

This download requires the previous installation of the L-1649A Starliner Version 2.0 package and presumes a standard installation of this package.

1. Unzip L-1649A_LH.ZIP to a temporary folder, ensuring that you retain folder names.  

2. Within the download, move the texture folder 'texture.Lufthansa' to the folder 'Lockheed_L1649A' within your 'Flight Simulator 9/AIRCRAFT/' folder.

3. Back up the corresponding AIRCRAFT.CFG file (should you wish) and open the original with a text editor.  Enter the following section under the last [flightsim.XX] entry, numbering it sequentially:

CREDITS:

Effects by Milton Shupe (engine), Hansjoerg Naegele (fueldump), Wayne 
Tudor (exhaust flames), and Diego S. Barreto (squeaking brakes and FSX 
prop discs). Effects rework by Roland Berger and Hansjoerg Naegele.  

The cockpit voice files were created by Howard Sodja (pilot) and Tom 
Gibson (First Officer). 

Panel and gauges: Original main panel bitmap by Jan Visser. Main panel 
bitmap rework by Hansjoerg Naegele and Steve Hornberger. Parts of the 
main panel bitmap are based on John Dow's cockpit pictures 
(cpjpeg99.zip) of the HARS Connie (VH-EAG). The overhead/windows 
section and the throttle levers of the main panel bitmap contain 
bitmaps made by Louis Betti. The FE panel bitmap was made by Hansjoerg 
Naegele using a photo of the MATS Connie taken from Graham Robson's 
book Prop Perfection - Restored Propliners and Warbirds, 1997 
Motorbooks International. Further bitmaps are based on photos provided 
by Bill Rambow, Jan Visser, Tim Hanna, Howard Sodja, John Howard White, 
Dai Griffiths, and Bill Smith. Gauge bitmaps and programming: Hansjoerg 
Naegele. The VORLOC indicator is a copy of the T37_VOR1 from HGHB 
Virtual Instruments (Harald Geier, Helmut Busch, Christian Koegler, 
Tony Cullen) and contains bitmaps taken from the original gauge. Other 
bitmaps, sound and effects files are modified versions originally taken 
from Flight Simulator 2002, 2004, and FSX.
