INSTALLATION:

Just drop the "AIA_737_300_BLANK" folder into your FS2k aircraft folder.

If you are using any of the other AI Aardvark 737-300's that use the "aia_737_300.mdl" you can use this texture with it in the same folder, after making the needed changes to the aircraft.cfg file.

NOTES:

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 plane also uses 4 different LOD (levels of detail) models, which means that as the plane gets visually smaller, the model displayed becomes simpler and simpler, thus reducing the drag on your computer.

If you download a GMAX aircraft that is just gorgeous, but really chews up your frame rates when used as AI if several of them appear on the screen at once, the designer probably did not use the LOD feature, so the model is always 20,000 polygons no matter how far away from you it is.
