And here I was thinking that I made the readme as understandable as possible.


I *could* have turned the readme into a novel, but I'm german and therefor no man of big words...efficiency and stuff. :d


However, I could elaborate single issues a bit further if the right questions are asked. ;)

No, you did a great job of explaining. I just need to open the document in Word Pad! I am not giving up. Was late last night when I even attempted it. Thank you for your hard work! NC

LoL! :costumes:

If in doubt, it's always toast or rolls plus marmalade, honey or chocolate cream plus juice plus coffee. All served anywhen between 1200 and 1600. At least that's what my weekend breakfasts are like. ;) :d

Oh, okay.

You could as well try to open it in MS Word...or Notepad2 (better than its MS counterpart)...or you could simply download this .pdf version of the readme (quick conversion, save by right clicking on it and "save link as").
You may feel special, since I've just converted it for you! But don't expect a word of dedication in it. :costumes:
 
A separate, full FSX model of the Sabre will released by SectionF8 once it's done! Made with permission from Jan Visser and the rest of the SectionF8 team. This is from the download readme at Avsim.

I think I'll wait for the full FSX model.

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!! :faint:

Even without a "word of dedication", I feel special!

But then, my wife keeps telling me I am. But sometimes I think she is just telling stories.....HA!

Ok, update on things.

I was successful, for the most part. I printed out the instructions, and very slowly went though it all, step by step.

The only problems I am experiencing are repaint textures. Out of the 11 or so repaints, I think only 3-4 of them are showing correctly. The rest are completely black, except for the cockpit.

Am hoping the fix for these problems are a cut and paste procedure. But for now, I am satisfied with the few textures that are ok!!

This aircraft is awesome!

Thanks.

You mean the eleven repaints that came with the release?
(Base pack + repaint pack)
Not a good sign. The base and repaint pack should have been covered by the batch files.
You seeing black aircraft now is because the model file is set to recognize only *.dds type textures after the upgrade.
 
Oh well. I will be satisfied with just a couple then. I don't think I have the patience (leastwise anytime soon!) to go through the process again!!!

Thanks anyway.

I almost balked at the entire thing when I realized I'd have to deal with converting textures and such, but I'm very glad I went through it all. I wonder why a final converted FSX version couldn't be put on the site so that folks could just download, unpack and fly? Maybe two flavors... the smaller one with a couple of repaints and a larger one with all of them, both all converted/patched and ready to go.
