The Spartan Executive for FSX Native Version Original Readme with mods: My thanks go out to the many people who were involved and who influenced this package. I wish to expecially thank Eric Payne for his tireless beta testing. Thanks also to the design forums that are so important to share new information, Freeflight Design Shop and all its great members, the Avsim Design forum, and Simviation. Special thanks goes out to Mike Hambly who graciously permitted use of his sound files. I also wish to acknowledge the very talented repainters who add value to these releases by their many contributions. A special thanks to Urs Burkhardt who took this project on as a new challenge then routinely impressed us with his great exterior textures and beautiful interior textures. Last but not least, I thank Scott Thomas for his tireless and enthusiastic work over the years. His panel and gauge work is simply awesome. Without Scott, these projects would not have been done.
