This is an update for FS9/FSX of the F-5A by Tim Conrad.  I have updated the flight dynamics, changed the stores texture so the bombs show, added an autopilot, Nav/GPS switch and speed brake light to the 2D panel.  The switch and light could not be applied to the VC because of the way it is made.  I have also changed the afterburner effects.  This is the whole aircraft.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the FS9 aircraft folder or to the FSX airplanes folder.  Copy the gauges and effects to the main FS gauges and effects folders.  For FSX you then need to copy the aircraft.cfg file in the FSXaircrsaft.cfg folder to the aircraft folder.  This is so the smoke effect is in the correct spot.

For both FS9/FSX:  Several files from the base texture folder need to be copied over to the other texture folders. These files are:

f5a_02
f5a_consoles_01
f5a_consoles_02
f5a_glass
f5a_stores

These 5 files are the same in each texture folder, having those files in just one folder helps keep download size more sensible.

See [reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg file for operating speeds.

I changed the stores texture because the shadows showed that they were there anyway and also that in FSX the bombs partially showed anyway.

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.
