N3474J Repaint (fictional) for Lionheart Creations FSX Wittman Tailwind W10 Trigear by George V. Trovato.

IMPORTANT:
----------
You MUST own and have properly installed the Lionheart Creations Wittman Tailwind for this paint to work. This paint was designed for FSX, and will not work in FS2004 due to the use of DXT5 .DDS textures.

This paint was designed for and tested on the W10 Trigear variant only.

INSTALLATION:
-------------
Copy the "texture.N3474J" folder into your "\SimObjects\Airplanes\Tailwind_W10_Trigear" folder.

To activate this aircraft in FSX, you will need to copy the appropriate fltsim.XX section below into the aircraft.cfg file found in the folder listed above, as the next aircraft entry. Remember to change the XX (from the fltsim.XX section below) to the next number in sequence, based on the highest numbered aircraft entry that already exists in your aircraft.cfg file.

For example, if the last aircraft entry in your aircraft.cfg is [fltsim.39], the XX for the [fltsim.XX] section below would need to be replaced with 40 so that it would read [fltsim.40].

Note: You may need to disable 'Show Tail Number' in the aircraft's 'Details' window from within FSX's 'Select Aircraft' screen.

TO ACTIVATE THIS PAINT:
--------------------------------------------
Browse to your Tailwind_W10_Trigear folder (found in "\SimObjects\Airplanes\Tailwind_W10_Trigear") and edit your aircraft.cfg file, using a text editor such as Notepad (Do NOT use Wordpad). There are two separate sections below that can be pasted into your aircraft.cfg file. Only copy and paste ONE of them, based on if your screen is widescreen or not.

*******************************************************************
COPY AND PASTE THE APPROPRIATE CODE BELOW, BASED ON YOUR MONITOR'S ASPECT RATIO. BE SURE TO CHANGE THE 'XX' AS DESCRIBED ABOVE INTO THE SECTION YOU USE. USE ONLY ONE OF THE SECTIONS BELOW
