-----------------------
Installation and usage:
-----------------------
This update is the whole package and will install to a new folder so as to prevent overwriting of custom files in the Orig install.You can copy your repaints(see repaintfix.txt for info on repaints) and panel ect over to the new install
Self installer will point to the default fs9 folder on C: drive if you have a non default install or wish to manually install the files,point the installer to a temp folder and move the \aircraft\P51D_mustang folder to the FS9\aircraft folder then move the effects from the files in effects\ folder to the fs9\effects folder.
There are 2 models in this ver the mdl in the folder model.PR has a new texture mapping (mustang1_t.bmp) for the top of the nose to allow more detail in this area.It also has some minor mapping change to better fit the new textures(texture sets need to have the PR prefix in the model= section of the aircraft.cfg)
The mdl in the main model folder is more compatable with the first ver repaints(see repaintfix.txt) when using the orig ver textures

Flight Notes
-------------
There is no 2D cockpit with this aircraft a suitable one is SIMphony_No2.zip at simaviation.com.
there is a gauge called dsd_view_skip.gau by Doug Dawson which will bypass the 2d pit,If you wish to add your own 2d pit then open the panel.cfg file in notepad and comment out or delete the "gauge16=dsd_view_skip!no_2d, 0, 0 ,5,5" entry in the Vcockpit section
You will find that the VC is full functional. To ensure you get the full benefit switch on tool tips in fs9 to see what each switch operates, basically if its in the VC then it works.
Wheel brakes locked and wings folded up will show ground equipment, its just wheel chocks and pitot tube cover and pilot leaves the aircraft.
The tailwheel lock works as the real one,stick forward unlock,stick center or back locked the small red knob has been animated so you can see where its at.
the inner gear doors will open when aircraft is on the ground,engine is off and hyd pressure release is pulled.
Known Issues
Ive found a workaround for the panel lighting which also stops the night textures from flashing with the effects but it now means that shft L (default panel light key assignment) won't work.
the global lights key(L) will work, the lighting switches have all have tool tips to denote what is what.
Fuel selector in VC
This has been a pig to get to work right,the knob won't respond to the mouse but there is click spots on the base plate until I can workout the code for the knob (they have tool tips the only deviation is there is a click spot between the 2 drop tanks which will allow the drop tanks to be drained equally).
DROPTANKS
You won't see the tanks in the selection menu but they will be there when the aircraft loads.
To drop them you need to set the arm switch's (2 one for each tank) in the VC they are on the switch panel just in behind the transponder right hand side of the VC.
The rear most switch's (behind the arm switches) drops the tanks or if you have a keystroke assigned for the droptanks in fs9 you can use this, so you can watch the tanks fall in external mode.
(but you must have the arm switches in the VC on first)
The other thing Ive included, if you go to the load out screen in fs9 and remove the fuel and set the weights to 0 for the pylons and ext tanks they won't load onto the aircraft, or be seen in the sim so you can fly clean without having to switch models.
