The following instructions will guide you through the process of applying the different mask options on the cockpit windows of this aircraft. In real life, Canadian Airlines aircraft did not have a mask. I like the mask in Air Canada's new 2017 livery so much, I decided to make it an option for this Canadian Airlines A380. I think it adds a bit more of a modern touch for this livery.

This process is very simple, but it's extremely important you follow these instructions EXACTLY as they appear to prevent losing files/options. If you follow these instructions correctly, you will be able to use the mask options interchangeably, and be able to change them at will.

****************************************************************************************************

1. Locate the mask options in the following folder: "...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Airbus A380-800\Airbus A380 Canadian Airlines\texture.Canadian_OLD". You should see three folders containing different mask options. By default, the "No Mask" option is already applied. If you like this option, you don't have to change anything.

2. Open the folder that corresponds to the option you would like to apply.

3. Copy the file called "A380_fuse_1_t.bmp" to the main texture folder ("...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Airbus A380-800\Airbus A380 Canadian Airlines\texture.Canadian_OLD") and replace the file when prompted.

4. You can now launch FSX as normal, and the mask option should be applied.

5. If you want a different mask option, just repeat the steps above with another mask option freely.

***IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!***
DO NOT use the "Cut" or "Move" feature to replace this file. ALWAYS only "Copy" the file. This preserves the file in the folder, so you can change the mask options at will. If you "Cut" or "Move" the file, this will remove it from the folder, making it impossible to change the mask back to that option again.
