Unzip the folder to a location you will remember and then please read the following completely before you continue installation.Important – Ensure you copy the following files to the ski version of the Maule

TEXTURE.MTCOOK1 & TEXTURE.MTCOOK2

• Mt Cook Airlines Skins for the default FSX Maule 260C Ski Plane – ZKMCK and ZK-ECT. The complete folders should be placed here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Maule_M7_260C_Ski

aircraft.cfg

• Provides information to allow FSX to ‘see’ the new skins and make them selectable in the FSX aircraft list. You have two options for installing the skins so FSX can identify them:

1 – Manual - update the aircraft config file with additional information.
2 – Complete - copy a complete aircraft config file with the Mt Cook Airlines skins already added.

Manual

1) Open aircraft.config.text in a text editor (I recommend Notepad) and copy the information (CTRL+A then CTRL+C)
2) Open the aircraft config file in the Maule_M7_260C_Ski folder in FSX (Same directory as above)
3) Scroll to the last entry in the initial section with entries starting as [fltsim.0] etc. Find the last entry (this will be 1 if you have not added any skins for the Maule 260C Ski plane previously) and then add a blank line directly beneath the last entry, then press CTRL+V to add the copied text
4) Change the .X to the next consecutive number.
5) Save

Run FSX and the Mt Cook Airlines skins will appear with the other skins available under the Maule 260C Ski plane. If this hasn’t happened check you have
followed the instructions above.

Complete

WARNING – THIS METHOD WILL OVERWRITE YOUR CURRENT MAULE 260C SKI PLANE CONFIG FILE, ONLY CHOOSE THIS OPTION IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER SKINS INSTALLED OTHER THAN THE DEFAULT SKINS THAT CAME WITH FSX

Unzip the aircraft zip folder, then copy the aircraft.cfg file into the folder outlined above. Choose yes when asked if you want to replace the current file.
Remember, choosing YES replaces your current Maule 260C Ski plane config file.
