VERSION 2.00
COMPLETE REMAKE OF PREVIOUS RELEASE - Too many changes to list!

**************************************************

Thanks for downloading mt T-45C Goshawk model for Flight Simulator X.
The scope of this project si to provide virtual naval aviators with a "state of the art" jet trainer.
I've tried to make a compromise between realism, playability and development time and resources.
Hope you'll like it.

Please see the "docs" subfolder in the Boeing_T45C aircraft folder for an comprehensive flight manual.

INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY
****************************
Should you have any previous version of my T-45C Goshawk models, first REMOVE the Goshawk files from the SimObjects/Aircraft folder.
Unzip the file (maintaining the proper folder structure) to your FSX Simobjects/Airplanes subfolder.
Move the fx_navorange_t45.fx from the Boeing_T45C/Effects folder to your main FSX Effects folder.

NOTE:
This aircraft requires Flight Simulator X: Acceleration or Flight Simulator X:Gold for full functionality.
May also work (but it is not tested) on Microsoft ESP and Lockheed Martin Prepar3d.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONALITIES
***********************

Opening exit door number 2 ("SHIFT+E" then "2") extends the footsteps of the crew boarding system.
Opening exit door number 3 ("SHIFT+E" then "3") makes a baggage pod appear attached below the fuselage.
Opening exit door number 4 ("SHIFT+E" then "4") makes practice bomb racks appear below the wings.

NOTE:
External loads will not affect flight behaviour in any way.
In the real T-45C carrier operation with external loads are FORBIDDEN.

SUGGESTED SCENERY:
******************

SUGGESTED SCENERY:
USS Nimitz class ships from Javier Fernandez are an absolute MUST HAVE for any FSX user.
they are extremely detailed and realistic. File name is USS_Nimitz_IKE.rar.
They are AI ships so you either use them with AICarriers or download a scenery route or mission using them.

TEXTURE AND REPAINT
*******************
All the textures are original and have been kept to the highest possible resolution.
Textures are in DTX3 format, without MIPMAPs for maximum sharpness. This has a slight impact on load times, and some users may experience a slight delay switching from exterior/interior views.
Most textures have a resolution of 2048x2048 pixels.
