• 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 upgraded model files (749_models_update.zip) published by Manfred Jahn on January 2, 2010 also should be installed. If you don't use the upgraded model files you have to erase the'_A' characters in the 'model' line of the following [fltsim]-section before pasting it into the aircraft.cfg.
• 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 the extracted texture 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.
