With this package a new model file (model.sol) of Manfred Jahn & Team 749 for a short nose version with jetstack exhausts and cargo door arrangement is included. So the installation instruction differs a little bit from the other add on packages.

• Please make sure you have a working installation of Manfred Jahn's (Team 749) Lockheed L-749 base pack (folders "Lockheed_L749_0" and "Lockheed_L749_1" in your FS9 aircraft directory). If not present, download and install the base pack first. The Lockheed L-749 Constellation Models Update files should be installed also.
• Unzip the zip-file included in this package to a temporary folder or open it in Windows Explorer.
• Find the 'Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\Lockheed_L749_1' folder on your system. Copy both the extracted texture folder and the extracted model folder from step 2 into the "Lockheed_L749_1" folder.
• Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the aircraft.cfg contained in 'Lockheed_L749_1' folder and paste the [fltsim] section appended below under the last [fltsim] entry. Make sure the new [fltsim] entry is in proper numerical order by replacing the 'xx' by the next number in sequence.
