 Very easy Installation guide: This is for anybody that has not

                               installed a aircraft before.



                 Close this Contr498.txt file.

                 Close the Contr498 folder.

                 Highlight the Contr498 folder.

                 Go to Edit, Copy the Contr498 folder.

                 Go to your Flight Simulator 98 folder and open it.

                 Open the Aircraft folder.

                 Go to Edit, then click on Paste.



                 Now Open the Contr498 folder that you just pasted.

                 Now open the Gauges folder.

                 Highlight the 41 .GAU files.

                 Go to Edit, Copy the files.

                 Close the gauges folder.

                 Close the Contr498 folder.

                 Close the Aircraft Folder.

                 Now Open the Gauges folder.

                 Go to Edit, then click on Paste.



                 O.K. that's it, now just close all folders

                 and start Flight Simulator 98 as normal and

                 select the aircraft like any other aircraft, you

                 should see it listed as Concorde BA Firstsim98.



 You can select a Concorde video, but remember to select Concorde

 first or you will be flying Over Speed in any other aircraft.

 You can also use Select Flight, and choose Concorde Chicago, for

 a nice approach into Chicargo O'Hare.



 Note: Because of the number of gauges involved in the panel, you

       will find that it takes quite a long time for menus to appear,

       and they can also be slow, this is normal so please just be

       patient. When flying you will find that frame rates should

       be o.k.



 Keep the original Contr498.zip file safe in case you need to

 re-install it at a later date. You can delete the Contr498 folder

 that you un-zipped to save disk space, but not the one you copied to

 Flight Simulator 98 Aircraft folder, you can also delete the 41 .GAU

 files from the Contr498 folder but not the one's you copied to

 Flight Simulator 98 Gauges folder, and you can delete the InfoReadMe

 folder as well.



 Note:  After selecting Concorde select 'Checklists' for detailed

 information on flying the aircraft.

 The panel is best used in FULL SCREEN resolution, 800 x 600 as it will

 distort in lower resolutions.

 I use a 3D STB AGP video card and have found that it requires that

 Filture Texturemaps need to be turned off, also with this card do not

 select 8 Bit Image Textures, as it will lock-up. See the Microsoft

 Flight Simulator 98 ReadMe.txt for more info on this subject.



 Occasionly the panel can get missaligned, e.g. you click on a gauge

 but move the screen by accident, to reslove this problem if you can

 not drag it back into the correct place, select another aircraft then

 reselect Concorde again and the panel will be displayed correctly.
