   *****This file will be easier to use with "wordwrap" turned off****


QUICK INSTALL:

Unzip to  a temporary folder, then:

1. "New_sounds" folder:

   Put the "wav" files into the "Flight Simulator 9\sound" folder. 
   (You may already have the same files from my other effects, OK to over-write, or not)


   (Get the "whooom" sounds separately from "WHOOM_FX.zip")



2. "New_XML_gauges" folder:

   Put the entire FOLDER "T38COF_FX" into the "Flight Simulator 9\gauges" folder as a "sub-folder"....
   (Won't work if the XML gauges are mixed in with all the others.)
 

3. "New_effects" folder:

   Put all the new effect files into the "Flight Simulator 9\effects" folder...
   (Check "Yes" to over-writing; as some of my earlier T38 effect files are revised for FS9)


4. "New_texture" folder: 

   Put the  bitmap file into the "Flight Simulator 9\effects\texture" folder.
   (You may already have this same file from my effects for Kirk's F-16, OK to over-write, or not)


5. "Edited_FSD_T38_panel-cfg" folder:

   This is the original FSD T38 "panel.cfg" with the edits completed to enable the new effects:

   Make a back-up copy of your original "panel.cfg", or rename it "panel_ORIG.cfg", 
   then put the edited one in the T38 "panel" folder.


6. The aircraft.cfg file is likely different for each user, so please make your own edits:

   Open a copy of the T38 "aircraft.cfg" file and edit the four sections below
   with "Notepad" cut-and-paste tools:

Engine.0=-20.0, -1.2, 0.0 //-22.0,  2.0, 0.0
