-----Introduction-----

Hello!

Thank you for downloading TruNorth Simulations Feelthere EJets Lighting Mod V2. This project 
took a lot of time and testing to accomplish. I hope you enjoy it, and please contact me if 
you have any issues. Contact info is at the bottom of this readme.

The purpose of this mod is to fix several issues with the Feelthere EJets aircraft
night lighting. This mod was created using the original EJets, not V3.

This mod REPLACES my original TruNorth Simulations Feelthere EJets Lighting Mod found on Simviation.

By downloading and installing this scenery you assume all risk and do not hold me liable for 
any and all damage that may or could happen.

Furthermore, you agree to remove these files in the event the developer Feelthere publicly 
announces that they do not endorse nor give permission for users to possess files that 
modify their payware EJets aircraft models (which they haven't as of 10/26/2021).


-----Changes and Fixes -----

1. Adjusted the landing lights on the aircraft models' wings, so that they no longer shine into 
   the cockpit at night

2. Included a new beacon light effect that doesn't blink into the cockpit

3. Changed the line in each of the aircraft's configs that specifies which beacon light effect to 
   use from fx_beaconb and fx_beaconh to fx_usethisbeacon

4. Changed the night textures of the external models of the E175, E190, and E195 to match the green 
   glow of the E170

5. Fixed the night textures of all exernal models so that the rear passenger door handle and edges 
   do not light up at night

6. Fixed the night textures of the E175 and E190 external models so that they light up at night when
   the panel light switch is on

7. Adjusted the emmisive mode of textures to display correctly in P3D

8. Made changes in all aircraft.cfgs to moved the strobe lights to solve unrealistic clipping

9. Made changes to several night textures on the E195's external model to fix ugly squares, lines, 
   and pixels from displaying all over the livery and around the windows at night.

*With the fix applied, the cockpit no longer illuminates unrealistically, so long as the taxi lights 
are NOT turned on when the landing gear is in the raised position!

BE SURE TO TURN THE TAXI LIGHTS OFF BEFORE TAKEOFF!


-----Installation-----

1. Open Explorer and navigate to each of your 
   Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\FeelThere PIC EJet's folders. Make a backup of each of
   their model folders, texture folders, and their aircraft.cfg files.

2. Inside this zip file you will see a folder labeled Prepar3D v4. Right click it and select Copy.

3. Open Explorer, navigate to your Lockheed Martin folder, right click inside it and select Paste.

4. A prompt should notify you that The Destination has 12 files with the same names. Click Replace the files
   in the destination ONLY IF YOU ALREADY MADE BACKUPS OF THE ORIGINAL FILES.


-----Uninstallation-----

1. COPY and PASTE all the files you made a backup of in the instructions above back into their original
 folders.


-----Troubleshooting-----

Q. Why is the cockpit still illuminating at night after takeoff?
A. *With the fix applied, the cockpit no longer illuminates unrealistically, so long as the taxi lights 
   are NOT turned on when the landing gear is in the raised position!

   BE SURE TO TURN THE TAXI LIGHTS OFF BEFORE TAKEOFF!
