This is an update for FS X acceleration of the Lockheed Jetstar 2 by Mike Stone. I have updated the flight dynamics, and changed the panel a bit, besides filling in the long narrow gap the panel had near the center. You need the original aircraft for this update to work.

This update was done at the request of Geoffrey Bogeaus.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. After backing up your air and aircraft.cfg files, replace them with the ones in this update. Copy the panel folder and the picture to the aircraft folder after backing up your panel folder.

The only gauge needed besides default gauges is the concorde gauge that can be found on the Internet. If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have them to the main FS gauges folder. This includes the helicopters. For some the .cab files will be .zip files as .cab files are a type of .zip file.

Besides getting rid of the hole in the panel, I have eliminated 4 bitmaps that were almost 2 mega bytes each. Unless you want the background for a gauge, or gauges, to be some other shape than a square or rectangle of one color, you only need a background color for the window. I also put in an autopilot as a unit that has more features and alowed the elimination of over a dozen gauges.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.

Bob Chicilo.
