Original Readme by Francisco Sánchez-Castañer:

ATR72-500 version 1 in Iberia Regional / Air Nostrum colors. Designed by F. Sánchez-Castañer for FS2002 Professional Edition (Works with limited functionality in standard edition). Includes virtual cockpit, highly realistic custom panels and gauges with non-standard functions tailor made to match the real aircraft systems, custom sounds. Included in this package is also a manual/checklist by Werner Schott.

INSTALLATION:

You should have a basic idea of the flight simulator files and folders structure in order to perform the installation. Remember one thing: if you are prompted to overwrite a file, don't do it unless you are 100% sure what you're doing (maybe you made a mistake and are about to delete your favourite plane, so don't do it).

Unzip the contents of aircraft.zip into your fs2004aircraft folder, keeping the original folder names (use the option "keep folder names"in WinZip).

IMPORTANT: INSIDE THE PANEL ARCHIVE THERE ARE THREE CABINET FILES CONTAINING GAUGES (.cab extension may be hidden in your system). DO NOT DE-COMPRESS THEM!!! DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILES INSIDE THEM!!!

IF YOU DECOMPRESS IT, MOST PROBABLY HALF OF THE GAUGES WILL BE MISSING IN YOUR PANEL.

YOU CAN MAINTAIN ALL THE GAUGES IN THE PANEL FOLDER AS FS09 PERMIT THAT THEY WORK IT O.K.
