****************  The LOCKHEED MARTIN F-16 Fighting Falcon (VIPER) by Kirk Olsson  ***************



                                       Known issues

1.) Some of the textures become blurred when pressing the ALT key, when memory 
    becomes low or switching from a Windowed screen to Full screen and vice versa. Usually 
    zooming in on the aircraft really close and then back out again will correct this. 
     


2.) The strobe lights on the air intake should blink in sequence with each other, but 
   sometimes they get out of sync. To fix this you must turn the lights on and
   off repeatedly (by pressing the L key) until they are back in sync.

3.) Landing light illumination must be manually turned off when gear is retracted.
   (by pressing Ctrl+L)

4.) If afterburner animation isn't working or the afterburner effect doesn't show up at all,  
   reloading the aircraft from the aircraft menu should fix it. Also no afterburner flame will 
   be viewable in FS2004. You'll need the afterburner effect included with DSB's Typhoon.
   You can download the DSB typhoon from the simviation website.

5.) If your using this plane with FS2002. Then you will need to use the canopy glass texture
    located in the folder named ( glass texture for FS2002 ). Just move the  texture 
    named glass_t to this aircraft's texture folder.

                                  Frame Rate performance  

 Many thing's may effect the frame rate:

1.) ** THE LIGHTS **. All lighting on this F-16 is real time lighting. Meaning, there not painted 
   textures to look like night lighting, but rather they are being lit by the lighting effect
   itself. This can effect the frame rate especially when the landing light's are on, but they look
   much more realistic.

2.) ** GAUGE QUALITY  **. Setting the gauge quality to low will increase frame rates at 
   no real loss in image quality. 
   
   (you can located this setting  by pressing Main MENU>OPTIONS>SETTINGS>DISPLAY 
   and then select aircraft) 

3.) Ground scenery shadows. Turning this option off can really speed up the framrate's.
