Hi There,

First of all thank you for downloading this package.

This package was built up using a fine set of wav's from the master of sound Mike Hambly. All I have done is to slightly alter the wav files and to build up the sound.cfg, using other sounds, mainly the original FS98 sounds.

This is my first sound file, so I would appreciate any comments or advice.

Installation:

Please copy all files to either your Hunter sound folder, or if like me you have a separate sound folder then place these files in a folder named Hunter, then edit the Hunter sound.cfg file like so

[FLTSIM]
ALIAS=SOUND\HUNTER

Where SOUND is the name of the folder with your sound folders in.

Hope you enjoy this set.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D Complete with Base Model

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Does this have VC? I think I tried this before.

    Please can you make a texture for the nose cone and the wing rotator (the thick part near the main fuselage).

    Hi there, just wondering, I cannot seem to find the folder, is it possible to just be able to download it straight on to fsx?
