C-195 A Email I sent

[spad0007]

This is a email i sent to answer a qustion regarding
porting the shakey jake to FS_X

What I did was make another folder for the wheel pants 195
along side the Cessna 195 aircraft.folder.
Thence; I renamed it Cessna 195 with pants.
Thence; cut the model.wp folder from the Cessna 195
folder and pasted it to the new folder.
Thence:copied the airfile, aircraft.cfg, panel folder.sound folder,
soundai folder,texture and texture aw folder.
Thence: pasted them all to the new Cessna 195 with pants folder.
Thence; edited the aircraft.cfg for the stock 195 (the one with out
wheel spats) removing (delete) the [fltsim??] with model=wp in the
comment lines.
Thence; renumber the [fltsim.??]'s as needed.
Thence; do a save.
Thence; go to the new Cessna 195 with pants and edit
the aircraft.cfg to remove the [fltsim??] with model=s in
the comment lines.
Thence; renumber the[fltsim??]'s as needed.
Thence; rename the aw texture folder to texture.aw w pants
and the texture. to texture.w pants.
Thence; edit the new aircraft.cfg texture=(blank) to texture=w pants.
and edit the texture=aw to texture=aw w pants
stock should read something like this.

I hope this helps.
I have been working on some thumb's for
The PZL 104 wilga what ported over with no troubles.
[except exhaust flame effects] Bet you! I am the one to fix that!
The Boeing Stearman 75 450 hp also ported over with no problems
[except spray effect]
I added a Orange and black paint to the C-195
also ported over the Gmax F-86 (lots of gauges from 98 Grrr!)
