Repaint — base model required

Update Pack For Airbus A300. Bug fix for the A300 American Airlines/Thai Air (TOM306R.ZIP). Fixes engine locations and NAV/GPS switch Has also changed multiplayer mdls for the a330-mrtt. Please read install.txt before you update your aircraft. By Thomas Ruth.

This is an update for my A300-600R release for FSX and for my A330-MRTT release for FSX.

The A300 has fixed engine0/1 locations on the outside model, fixed NAV/GPS switch animation
on the VC and 2D panel plus new panel bitmaps to indicate the nav/GPS switch position.

The A330-mrtt is not an update, but has two new mdls with different boom/pod animations. Some
multiplayer server only support limited animations, so ive made one mdl with "door1" animated
boom/pod plus another one with fixed boom/pod in extended position. UE THEM ONLY IF NEEDED!

Install A300-600R:
1) Copy the TomA306RGE.mdl and the TomA306R_interior.mdl into your Tom_A300-600R/model.RGE folder.
(theres an updated multiplayer mdl in the multiplayer folder)
2) Copy ONLY!! the TomA306R_interior.mdl into your Tom_A300-600R/model.RPW folder.
3) Copy vc03_L.dds and vc03.dds into each of your Tom_A300_600R/texture.XX folders
(texture.aa and texture.thai by default)
4) Copy panelmain.bmp and panelmainL.bmp into the Tom_A300-600R/panel.306GE and the
Tom_A300-600R/panel.306PW folders.

Install A330-MRTT (ONLY IF NEEDED FOR MULTIPLAYER REFUELING ACTION!!!):
1) Just copy the mdl file you need over the existing mdl in the Tom_A330-MRTT/model folder.
