Boeing Aircraft Package Upgrade to Version 3 Readme File (15:50 13/06/2009) Please read everything in this readme carefully and follow all instructions during the installation to the letter. Readme for all my Boeing Packages (Euro Link [model] B7#7 Package (Final)). This upgrade to version 3 installs new features which are: - Fly UK Virtual Airways liveries are included for the 737, 757 and 767 packages ! ~ Thanks goes to Matt Lewis, Lee Appleby (Painters) and Chris Sutcliff (Current CEO to this date 13/06/2009) - Heat Haze (shimmer) effects + smoke effects by Martyn Becker - Reverser Spray Effects by Edward Cox (Project OpenSky - See his included readme file for details) - Takeoff Spray effects by Dennis Franke (tried to contact but have had no success) Dennis please contact me ASAP or reply to either of my emails that I have sent you (from 3 different email addresses) ! I was unable to contact you with the address supplied in your readme files. I have credited you everywhere so hoping you should be ok with this effect being included. Huge thank you to those listed above for making this possible ! Please respect the fact that they own the copyright to thier work ! ================================================================================================================ INSTALLATION ================================================== ====================================================================================== Right ok, installation is simple but a little complex in places so make sure you read all the information provided during the installation screens (especially the information section) and in this readme file. For those who do not have the original packages installed already (those who do can skip to step 2): 1) Download & install the original package which will be version 2.5 Final (make sure you read the readme in there as well please) 2) Run the patch (upgrade to version 3 executable for the boeing aircraft package you are updating) Important Notes: 1) You must run the panel configuration utility again during this patch installation 2) You can run the panel config utility any time by visiting your start menu, then either the Fly UK VA folder or the Euro Link VA folder -- Just make sure that if you're running the 737 or the 767 panel config utility, that you backup your livery entries ! For option choices please read the information section of the installation (make sure you do)! Note that the low system spec option will only have the following features installed: - Reverser Spray Effects, V Speed Callouts, Approach Altitude Callouts (if no co pilot option is selected) Warning messages will be presented during the installation (for the 747, 757 and 777) or during Panel Configuration (for the 737 and 767). These warning messages relate to the Aircraft.cfg file being replaced. If you have added more liveries to the original package, then please ... * Those who haven't added more liveries to the original pack can just run the patch upgrade and that is it * Notes: The 737 and 767 replace the aircraft.cfg everytime you run the panel configuration ! The 747, 757 and 777 only replace the aicraft.cfg when you apply the patch. The panel config utility does not replace the aircraft.cfg :) a. Open the aircraft.cfg for the Aircraft patch being applied (e.g. B747) b. Select the text of the added entries (an example is below for the B747) c. Run the patch which will overwrite the aircraft.cfg (updating the aircraft features) d. Once the installation has finished (including Panel Configuration) then re-open the aircraft.cfg e. Copy and paste your entries back in, then close and save :) Simple stuff :D [fltsim.9] title=Boeing 747-400ER RR United NC sim=Boeing747-400-MR-MKIII model=rr panel=def sound=rr texture=unitednc kb_checklists=Boeing747-400_check kb_reference=Boeing747-400_ref atc_id=N-AAJG atc_airline=UNITED ..... etc =============================================================================================================== HOW TO UNINSTALL PACKAGE + UPDATE ================================== ====================================================================================== Uninstallation is extremely simply and fully automated as well. 1) Simply visit either the Euro Link VA folder OR the Fly UK Virtual Airways folder within the start menu 2) Select the Aircraft you wish to uninstall 3) Select either ... a. Uninstall Boeing 777 Package v3 in the Fly UK VA folder or ... b. Uninstall Euro Link VA B777 Package in the Euro Link VA folder Note the uninstaller will say it is uninstalling version 2.5 but it will uninstall all patch files as well so is in fact uninstalling V3 :D ====================================================================================================================== Other Info + Contact ======================================== ====================================================================================== Extra information ... if you want to use the panel or sound effects with other aircraft you have installed you can. Visit my web site for documentation on how to do so.
