Just unzip this archive to the Flight Simulator 9\aircraft folder. Remember to 'use folder names' when unzipping.
Sounds:
The stock FS2004 DC-3 sounds are used. Replace with more interesting propliner sounds if you wish.
The gauges are to a large extent default gauges of Flight Simulator 2004. The fuel gauges are by Jay Crawford 1999. Magneto switches, starter buttons, prop feathering buttons flap indicator and engine gauges are by Mike (MoparMike) Wagner. Please read his original readme files in the \panel folder.
The pilot figure is borrowed from the LA-7 sample project included with FSDS2.
This plane was made with FSDS 2.24, the textures with Paint Shop Pro and DxtBmp.
Good luck flying the Short Solent!
