FSX Repaint of VAQ-129 EA-18G Growler
Enclosed is a repaint of my best efforts
to reflect EA-18G 166857 of VAQ-129 Ravens
in combat grey/line colors, based at Whidbey NAS,
Washington State, USA.  Requires ea18gv2.zip
by KBT, created in Abacus Repaint V2
By Josef of FSXTipline.blogspot.com

INSTALLATION:
#1. **IF NECESSARY** Make sure that if you do NOT have the KBT F/A-18E or F that you get it or program your panel.cfg & sound.cfg to the RAAF F/A-18F Super Hornet version by Barry Magann.  That stumped me, especially as I've migrated over to VRS' bird as much as possible.

#2. Extract the texture.VAQ-129Grey folder to your EA-18G_Growler folder under SimObjects\Airplanes.

#3. Then open your aircraft.cfg, select the text between the dashes, paste at the end of the fightsim/aircraft list, and finally please change the XX in [fltsim.XX] to the next number available in sequence in your .cfg file.  After that, go fly!

DEDICATION:
This effort is to say thanks to KBT for updating their Growler to reflect the wingtip pods + FSX realities and obviously the valiant souls at Whidbey NAS keeping my country and our allies safe.  May you come home safe and keep it loud :-).
