----SUPPORTING FAIB----

Making an AI model takes a lot of time if you appreciate my work please donate through the website @ FSXAIBureau.com Thank you.

----SPECIAL NOTE----

In FS9 this is an AI aircraft and will NOT BE VISIBLE in the aircraft selection window in flight simulator. However if you want it to be visible in the aircraft selection window, you have to edit the "FAIB_7478.air" file with the program "AirEd" (available (if not corrupt) at AVSIM "aired.zip"), change "Aircraft Type" from "2" to "0".
In FSX you will need to add a panel and sound folder for the plane to be visible in the aircraft selection menu.

NO SUPPORT IS GIVEN TO HUMAN PILOTS, AI PILOTS ARE FREE TO CONTACT US ABOUT TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION.

----NORMAL NOTE----

This aircraft was designed specifically for use as an AI aircraft. As such, the primary design criteria were that it look good sitting at the gate, or as seen when landing from an aircraft waiting to take off.

This aircraft feature 7 LOD'S for optimal performance, to learn more about LOD'S and why they are important go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_detail

FSX models features Toggle able landing lights, logo lights ,taxi lights, wing flex and UHD 4096X4096 textures.

---WING FLEX NOTE---

Using FS9? There are no wing flex models for FS9 since it does not support skinned animation.
Using Wing flex models in FSX? Make sure you have skinned animations turned on in the graphic options.
Don't want wing flex in FSX? Use the NWF (No Wing Flex) models instead of the regular models, make sure to uncomment the needed light section in the aircaft.cfg file or you will not have navigation lights and strobes.

---FSX ONLY IMPORTANT NOTE---

To prevent performance issues you must copy the content of the included "PLACE INSIDE YOUR FSX MAIN TEXTURE FOLDER" folder into your FSX main texture folder.

**** NEW NEW NEW ****
Inside the EXTRA folder you will find the LOGO LIGHT ALWAYS ON folder which includes special always on textures designed to give you logo light illumination at all times similar to UT2 models.
Simply copy these textures to your MAIN FSX TEXTURE folder and overwrite.
Because of changes designed to reduce memory footprint this always on logo light will become brighter once the aircraft actually turns on the logo lights as opposed to older FAIB models where this did not happen.

---PAINT KIT INFO---

A paint kit is available separately on FAIB's website.

---Shockwave Lights---

Location for Shockwave lights are included in the aircraft.cfg's, however you still need to un-comment them.
Look at the [LIGHTS] section of the aircraft.cfg files for more info.

---FSX door locations---

Door locations are included in the FSX aircraft.cfg's.

---FSX Only Known Issues---

After landing and generally when braking AI pilots will tend to lock the wheels.
Lights such as strobes, nav lights etc tend to move out of position over time.
Several areas of the plane cannot be lighted using the light map, this is an FSX limitation.
Models with wing flex have weak wingtip lights which diminish over distance quickly and are NOT visible from great distances, you can use the NWF (No Wing Flex) models to avoid this and use the standard aircraft.cfg lights which are visible.

---Service Pack 1 update---
Issues fixed by SP1:

FSX: 
1. Inboard Kruger animation adjusted.
2. Alpha testing parameters relaxed to prevent night lighting smears on certain paints with certain graphic cards.
3. Adjusted FDE to prevent aircraft flying faster than 250Kts below 10,000ft

FS9:
1. Inboard Kruger animation adjusted.
2. Adjusted FDE to prevent aircraft flying faster than 250Kts below 10,000ft

---HOW DO I UPDATE AN EXISTING INSTALL???---

How to update FSX:
Copy the model folders and overwrite existing ones, if you are not using Jan's V6 FDE's you should update your aircraft.cfg file, make sure to copy all of your existing [fltsim.x] sections into  
the new supplied aircraft.cfg file for the FDE fixes to take effect.
