The Waco UPF-7 biplane brings classic open-cockpit handling to Microsoft Flight Simulator X SP2 with a rebuilt virtual cockpit, richer 3D switches and levers, reflective instruments, and sharper 2048 textures. Updated XML gauges and a refreshed model package deliver a smooth, era-accurate trainer feel for scenic hops and pattern work.
Waco UPF-7. An FSX rebuild of the earlier Waco UPF7 biplane. Includes updated VC, resized textures and XML gauges. Not tested in Vista/DX10. By Tim Conrad.

1)After downloading the zip, locate it, and extract the zip to a temp folder.
2)If you already have my UPF-7 from FS9 flying in FSX, you can back it up to a new area first, or just get rid of it. This new release will work without the old package.
3)Copy the UPF-7 folder over to your FSX Aircraft Folder.
4) Copy the upf7.cab gauge files over to your FSX gauges folder. If asked to overwrite, choice is yours.
5) If you don't already have the fx_vclight_deepred effects file, install the file to your FSX effects folder.
NOTAMS:
1) The tex's have been resized to 2048x2048. Don't know if this really helps, but it makes it easier for me:0)
2) The VC has been rebuilt with more 3-D switches,levers, and reflective gauges.

This model was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards.
If something is "missing", or "wrong", oh well, you got it for a good price:-) For a one-man shop, I think I do pretty well:-p
As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(SEE BELOW), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.
