This package is designed for extra liveries to be added to this Base Pack.

PLEASE NOTE!  This MDL file must remain on my server and not be released elsewhere.  Your repaint will be removed if it includes the MDL file.  Direct people to download this file to get the Base Plane.

VERSION 3 FEATURES

1.  Better shaped rear fuselage

VERSION 2 FEATURES

Now features wing views.  Use the following keys on the numeric keypad, with NumLock ON:

1.  Left Rear and Right Rear views (1 and 3 keys) will show the engines and wings
2.  Ctrl-Shift-1 and Ctrl-Shift 3 keys will show main landing gear view
3.  Ctrl-Shift-7 and Ctrl-Shift 9 keys will show wing views
4.  The Rear view (2 key) will show the engine nacelles

Note that this will work only with my F-27A panel.cfg file.  If you use another panel you would need to copy the proper sections from the VIEWS section to get the wing views in that panel.

VERSION 1 FEATURES

This release is a true FH-227, with a 6 foot extension ahead of the wing.  This texture uses my new F-27 or existing F.27-200 textures to map ahead and behind the wing (with respaced windows) and a small texture (fuslg227_t.bmp) that is used to texture the extra 6 feet (under the wings, since that is usually the easiest place to texture).  This is provided in a FH-227B Demonstrator livery by Matthew Anderson.  The night textures are not correct and would need to be redone.

It features improved nacelle shape, fuselage shape, and main gear retraction seqence.  Thanks to Mike Stone for giving me permission to modify his F.27-200 for this conversion!  Thanks to Jaap de Baare for some nose gear parts, round tip props, and helpful suggestions.  NOTE:  This model has no VC, nor changes other than those listed above.

INSTALLATION

NOTE:  This package now uses a single folder in the Aircraft folder, and all liveries are added
to this single folder.

This plane is set up to use the F-27 panel obtained by downloading the F-27A Base Pack from www.calclassic.com/f27.htm

The plane currently uses the King Air sounds by default.
I use the sounds from the AFG YS-11.  Available at: http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=104766

Quit FS if it is running before installation.

1.  If you find an FH-227 folder in your Aircraft folder from a previous release, move it out.  Create a
    Removed folder and *move* it into that.

2.  Unzip this FH-227.zip file archive by double clicking it.  You will find this  
    text file and Setup.exe.

3.  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/FSX folder automatically, 
    press the ... button and browse to it. 

4.  If installing into FSX, move the FH-227 folder from FSX/Aircraft to FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes.

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