De Havilland Dh88 Comet "F-ANPZ"
______________________________



This is a repaint of the default FS2004 De Havilland Dh88 Comet. This was the second Comet bought by the French government. Upon arrival in France it was first tested by the Armee de l'Air (French Air Force) just like G-ACSS was tested by the RAF.


Installation
____________

Unzip the 'texture.3' & 'texture.3A' folders to your 'DeHavilland Comet' folder within the aircraft folder of FS9's root folder. This typically resides in your 'Program Files' folder of your C: drive, but may differ depending where you installed FS2004.

Then edit the aircraft.cfg adding the following lines just after other very similar entries...

Be sure to edit the first lines 'XX' to the next sequential number.

All being well you should be able to fly her.

Being as you downloaded this from the very fine SimOuthouse, you'll also find me there. Drop a PM or ask a question in the FS2004 forum, I'll do what I can to help.

This repaint was mainly for my own enjoyment, part of a project to cover all schemes of real life Comets, time will tell if I get them all done. Being so, they are not 100% accurate, due to limited research available and (mainly) the texture mapping of the FS2004 model. On the latter point, artistic license has been taken with best judgement. I did my best.

If you are a 'rivet counter', I'm not interested, go paint your own!! If not and have some info or useful feedback, I'm all ears.
