FS2004 SAAB J-29B and F The Saab J-29 was the first swept wing jet built by Sweden, first flying in 1948. Designed around the Ghost engine and central air intake, the resulting rotound fuselage instantly resulted in the name "Tunnan", Swedish for "barrel". Models A and B were fighters, the model C was a photo recon plane, and the final F introduced an afterburner, and new dogtooth wing leading edges. J-29's served with the Swedish and Austrian air forces, and also served with the UN during the Congo Conflict. Swedish J-29's ended their days as target towing planes, and as"enemy forces" trainers. Installation: 1)After downloading the zip, locate it, and extract the file to a temp folder. 2)Copy the folder J-29B over to your FS aircraft folder 3)Copy the folder J-29F over to your FS aircraft folder 4) Open the gauges folder, and copy the j29.cab, hunterfx.cab, and theT38COF_FX folder into your FS Gauges Folder. 5)Copy the 4 effects files from the effects folder over to you FS effects folder. 6) During this installation, you may be asked to overwrite some files. This may be due to you already having some of the files installed. Overwrite or not, choice is yours. 7) Double check everything before e-mailing me! 99% of problems can be solved this way:-) Since you are reading this, you are way ahead of the dimwits who don't read readme files!:-p BEFORE YOU FLY!....... See steps 1 to 7 above:) NOTAMS: 1) The airspeed and altimeters have been converted to knots and feet, since most simmers are used to these units. 2) The machmeter insert on the airspeed gauge does not work properly. I can't figure out how to get it to work. Maybe some one will get it right:-) Permission to release fix pre-approved. 3) My Swedish is a bit rusty, so hopefully I didn't screw up any translations too bad! 4) The included cockpit pictures explain some of the Swedish gauges and placards. 5)There seems to be no gauges for wing or droptank fuel levels. All fuel is routed thru the fuselage tanks prior to going to the engine. So when the fuel gauge reads low, think about landing soon! 6) The J-29F has afterburning. Early burners weren't as effecient as modern ones, so no "kick-in-the-pants" when lit. CREDITS: Airfile made with the Flight Dynamics Workbook v2005-12, and Air Wrench,by Jerry Beckwith. The effects and their gauges are used with permission from Rick Piper, with help from Dave Garwood. I can't remember who made the T38 FX gauges, but Rob Barendregt's comes up. I think there may bits of other gauges in there, but I'm not sure who made what when how where... To all who download and enjoy my planes:-) And to all of the makers of all the tutorials, utilities, tips, etc. Couldn't do it without you!!

Enjoy! This model was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards. If something is "missing", or "wrong", oh well, you got it for a good price:-) For a one-man shop, I think I do pretty well:-p As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders". These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect. Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(SEE BELOW), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release. Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others. I only upload to Flightsim.com, and Sim-Outhouse.com. If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e-mail addy I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
