You need the Vertigo Studios payware package.

Extract the files to a VS_F8F folder. Make sure "Use Folder Names" is checked so it will create the folders when you extract the files.

Below are the changes for the aircaft.cfg file. Change the "xx" to the next number in your aircaft.cfg.

If you have any photos of F8Fs and want to share them with me I would appreciate it.

I would all so like to here your comments concerning the textures. Good, bad or indifferent. A comment would be appreciated.
