Back to zip content
This is an update for FSX of the F-84G by J Kristensen, textures by different authors, and originally upgraded to FSX by A.F.Scrub.  I have simplified the 2D panel background and changed and/or added gauges.  I did not try to upgrade the VC gauges as I only fly 2D and have no access to the VC background.  I changed the smoke and burner effects, corrected the contact points, and updated the flight dynamics.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.  Copy the effects to the main FS effects folder.  No need to overwirte anything already there.

If you have not already done so, copy the cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have .cab files in them to the main FS gauges folder; for some the cab files will be zip files as .cab files are a type of zip file.

Only 4 of the 7 paints show on the choose the aircraft screen.  The others are there and accessable by checking the show all variations box.

I left the smoke and burner effects in the lights section of the aircraft.cfg file if you like them better.  I also left the old autopilot as part of the panel.  It can be toggled with the AP icon at the left side of the panel.  The AP switch near the autopilot is the on/off for the autopilot.

Anyone who has more than a few of my updates knows that I like the RKG fuelstat gauge.  I don't know who made it, but thanks.  I wonder if anyone has tried to make something like it for real aircraft?

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=100 
full_flaps_stall_speed=80 
cruise_speed=455.00			//knots over the ground at 30,000 ft. (300 indicated)
max_indicated_speed=750.00
max_mach=1.1
max_level_speed=547			//knots over the ground at 30,000 ft. (370 indicated)

The above is for quick reference to the flight envelope.  The cruise altitude and speed are a guess from the service ceiling and cruise speeds I found on the internet.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
