FS9 Only Lockheed Lodestar L-18, C-57, and C-60A - Release v1.2 Upgrade

This is not a full package, but simply an upgrade to your existing full package.  This upgrade is applicable to either the 1.0 original release or 1.1 updated versions and incorporates all updates.

This upgrade replaces the flight model (aircraft.cfg, and .air file), all model folders, the panel folder, and adds a texture to all your texture folders.

Note: you will want to preserve a copy of your existing aircraft.cfg file so any textures you have added, the [flightsim.nn] sections can be copied over.

The flight model is quite different and much improved over the original.  Please see the Cruising chart in the Lodestar Operations folder and take advantage of lower rpms and MAP settings for more power, better speeds,  and lower SFC.

There are many subtle improvements in the exterior models and a few VC changes.

I have also added a rudimentary 2D electrical panel that provides basic necessities for those who like to fly from the 2D panel.

There are many beautiful add-on textures available at Sim-outhouse, Simviation and Flightsim. Be sure to check them out. 

INSTALLATION

1) Open "Add Contents to all Texture Folders" folder. Copy the enclosed texture to all your Lodestar texture folders.

2) Copy the four Model folders to your Lodestar folder replacing the existing ones.

3) Copy the Panel.60 folder to your Lodestar folder replacing teh existing one.

4) Make a backup copy of your aircraft.cfg and Lodestar.air files.  Then, copy the new files to your Lodestar folder.  (Note if you have added texture folders since the original download, go to your backup copy of the aircraft cfg and copy the appropriate [fltsim.nn] sections to your new aircraft.cfg being careful to maintain the proper sequence numbers.

That's all folks. Have fun. :-)
