Mean Bird BD-5

Cartoonish mean bird repaint of the freeware BD-5 by "Jez G". These textures can be used for both the prop and jet versions of the aircraft. Repaint by Rick Federmann.

The textures can be used in both the prop and jet versions of Jez G's BD-5 aircraft.

Installation:

• Copy the "texture.MeanBird" folder to the BD-5 and/or BD-5J aircraft folder.
• In the aircraft folder locate the aircraft.cfg file.
• IMPORTANT: Save a backup copy of aircraft.cfg. If things go wrong you can simply copy the backup copy back into this folder to recover.
• Open aircraft.cfg in Windows Notepad (only use a plain-text editor!).
• Each [fltsim.x] section defines an aircraft. Add a new section for this repaint, using the next available number. For example, if the last aircraft definition is [fltsim.2] then add the new section as [fltsim.3]
• Copy these lines into the aircraft.cfg file:

• Save and close the aircraft.cfg file.
• In the simulator the picture for each aircraft is the thumbnail.jpg file within each aircraft's folder. To display the correct thumbnail for the prop or jet version go into the texture.MeanBird folder for each aircraft and copy "thumbnail-jet.jpg" or "thumbnail-prop.jpg" to "thumbnail.jpg" as needed.
