NOTE: This package contains the textures only - you MUST have the Cal Classic F-27A Base Pack installed to fly this plane!
NOTE: This Base Pack must be dated later than July 2014!

****************************************************************************
Installation:

You must have installed an F-27 Base Pack dated later than November 2014!

1.  Double click this file archive to open it.  You will find this text file and a file called Setup.exe.

2.  Double click the Setup.exe file to start the installation.  Press the Run button at the warning screen.  If it doesn't find your main FS2004 folder automatically, press the ... button and browse to it.

3.  If you are using the F-27 aircraft.cfg file from the F-27A Base Pack's All CC Liveries folder, you are finished.  If you are using the default aircraft.cfg file, continue the instructions below.

4.  If you don't know how to edit text files, see the bottom of this section.  Copy the following section into the Base Pack's aircraft.cfg file, at the end of the existing livery sections:

[fltsim.1]
title=F-27A Bonanza
sim=f27A
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=bonanza
kb_checklists=F27A_check
kb_reference=f27a_ref
ui_manufacturer=Fairchild
ui_type=F-27A
ui_variation=Bonanza Airlines
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=N745L
atc_airline=Bonanza
atc_flight_number=224
prop_anim_ratio=0.9

description=The Fokker F-27 Friendship was an instant success in Europe and from 1958 the F-27 and F-27B were also built under licence by Fairchild in the U.S.  The F-27A introduced in 1959 was sold with either the original Rolls Royce Dart Mk.6 (Dart 511), or more powerful water methanol injected Dart Mk.7 engines for use in high temperatures. This flight model features the wet RDa.7 engines (Dart 528-7E) as used by Bonanza Airlines allowing an increase in max take off weight from 39,400lbs to 42,000lbs. Certificated for 48 passengers, but most had only 40 passenger seats.

5.  You will need to re-number the fltsim line of your new livery.  They should be listed in numerical order.  If the last fltsim entry is [fltsim.0], your livery's entry should be [fltsim.1].  If it is [fltsim.5], renumber yours to [fltsim.6].  If it is a different number, renumber your livery's fltsim line to one higher than that.

After installation of all the files, start FS2004 and the plane will appear in the Select Aircraft menu.


NOTE:  If you do not know how to open and edit a cfg file, here are instructions:

a.  In the Base Pack plane's folder, if you only see a file called aircraft with a type of CFG (when viewing the folder using My Computer or Windows Explorer), choose Tools/Folder Options from the menu, click the View tab, and uncheck the box "Hide Extensions for known file types".  Click OK.

b.  Double click the aircraft.cfg file in My Computer or Windows Explorer to open it.  If it asks what program you want to use to open this file, choose Wordpad from the list.  Notepad is also acceptable.

c.  To select a line for copying, drag the mouse across the line, from left to right.  It should become highlighted.  Choose Edit/Copy.

d.  If pasting this copied text into another file, open that file by double clicking it.
   i.  If you are not replacing any text in the new file (i.e. adding a new livery section, etc.), click where you want the new text to be placed, and choose Edit/Paste.
   ii. If you are replacing text in the new file (or within the same file)(i.e. replacing the sim= line of the new livery's section with the sim= line of the top livery section), select the text to be replaced by dragging the mouse, as above.  Choose Edit/Paste and the copied text will replace the original text.


***************************************************************************
The first major civil aircraft designed and built by Fokker 
after WW II was the F27.  During 1950, Fokker determined what 
operators would like for a DC-3 replacement, and they developed 
the P.275 concept, with a shoulder-height wing, powered by a 
pair of turboprops.  By 1953, this had developed into the F27 
with Rolls-Royce Dart engines, seating 32 passengers in a 
pressurized cabin and capable of operating from small 
airfields.  The Dutch government was so confident that Fokker 
had a winner that they funded the production of two flying and 
two test aircraft.  The prototype flew on November 24, 1955, 
and the project soon began to yield orders.  Fairchild Aircraft 
also saw the planes potential, and secured a license-production 
agreement for airlines in the United States.  The Fairchild 
machines had a longer nose for weather radar, extra fuel 
tankage, American instrumentation, and seating for up to 40.  
This version received its FAA Type Approval on July 16, 1958.  
The F27/F-27 went on to become the best selling turboprop 
aircraft, with over 700 built.  The intial type was followed by 
the F27 Mk 200/F-27A, with uprated engines, and then the 
Mk300/F-27B with freighter features.  The first major change 
was made in the F27 Mk 500, which had a fuselage stretch of 
almost 5 feet, while Fairchild developed the FH-227, which 
instead stretched the fuselage by 6 feet.  F-27's were very 
popular with the smaller regional and local airlines as DC-3 
and Convair/Martin replacements.  They were very reliable, and 
many passengers enjoyed the fine views from the large windows 
unimpeded by the wing.  Many F-27's are still in service today, 
and manufacture of this popular plane was extended by the 
development of the Fokker 50, with new engines and avionics.  
However, the closure of the Fokker company seems to have 
finally ended the story of this fine aircraft, although those 
examples flying today give good evidence of this fine 
aircraft's longevity.
