Description: RP Argosy 100 for CFS2 by UncleTgt
This is a conversion of the FS2004 AW Argosy series 100 by Rick Piper. It is offered as a complete aircraft for ease of installation.
Any crashcheck or g_lightstate entries in the model have been removed, so it can be flown in Freeflight or Quick Combat. A new airfile was developed for CFS2, as was a new DP file. A player turboprop airfile is supplied, but as the AI don't respond to turboprop engine types, I developed an ordinary prop airfile that gives a passable impression of historical performance. The dp file uses kelticheart exhaust effects. Payloads included are US Jeeps(should really be civilian vehicles), various cargo options using the FDG C-47 cargo weapons.
The panel is adapted from the FS2004 original, in so far as the limitations for CFS2 will allow. It is WIN 7+ safe. Because of the need to use ordinary prop engines, the gauge types & positions do not match the FS2004 original arrangement.
The sounds were adapted from a FS2004 Fokker F27 soundpack by Ryuji Ozawa & Mark Cranston.
The model animations were hex-edited to better match the control assignments used by CFS2.
The Nose Door opens with the Concorde visor extend/retract key.
The Side Door uses the normal canopy open/close key.
The rear door uses the spoiler key.
The textures included are: N891U of Universal Airlines, circa JAN '71.
G-APRL of Air Bridge Carriers, circa SEP '77.
N601Z of Zantop Air Transport, circa SEP '65.
G-AOZZ of British European Airways, circa SEP'63.
G-BEOZ (Fat Albert) of ELAN Air Frieght, circa DEC '85.
To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching folder names inside your chosen CFS2 install.
Thanks to: Rick Piper, Fraser McKay, Dave Booker for the original FS2004 AW Argosy.

Martin Wright for so many useful tools.
Kelticheart for his prop bitmaps & exhaust effects.
Oglivie for the steer on using Hexediting to change animation key assignments.
