----U P D A T E N O T E----

This is an update/replacement for the original model(s) uploaded on October 27, 2007.
* fixes missing spoilers on LOD 2-4
* removed A345/A346 tail cone and added a new, more A343 style tail cone.
* updated Airbus House Livery repaint (includes many last PaintKit changes that are not on the initial release repaints)
* introduces maybe new bugs :)

----S P E C I A L N O T E----

This is an AI aircraft and will NOT BE VISIBLE in the aircraft selection window in flight simulator. However if you want it to be visible in the aircraft selection window, you have to edit the "TFS_A343.air" file with the program "AirEd" (available at AVSIM "aired.zip"), change "Aircraft Type" from "2" to "0".

WE WILL GIVE NO SUPPORT IF YOU WANT FLY THIS AI AIRCRAFT!!

----N O R M A L N O T E----

This aircraft was designed specifically for use as an AI aircraft. As such, the primary design criteria were that it look good sitting at the gate, or as seen when landing from an aircraft waiting to take off.

This plane also uses 12 different LOD (levels of detail) models, which means that as the plane gets visually smaller, the model displayed becomes simpler and simpler, thus reducing the drag on your computer.

If you download a GMAX aircraft that is just gorgeous, but really chews up your frame rates when used as AI if several of them appear on the screen at once, the designer probably did not use the LOD feature, so the model is always 20,000 polygons no matter how far away from you it is.

FIRST TIME INSTALLATION:

1) Just drop the "TFS_A340-300" folder into your FS2004 (FS9) aircraft folder.
2) Download a few liveries for it. (Available as separate downloads), or use the included "House Livery" and skip 3-5
3) Copy the texture folder from the livery download into the "TFS_A340-300" folder.
4) Copy the [fltsim.x] entry supplied with the livery into the aircraft.cfg file supplied in this base package. Be sure to number them correctly, starting sequentially with [fltsim.0] and working your way up with each additional livery you add...e.g. [fltsim.0], [fltsim.1], [fltsim.2]...making sure not to skip or duplicate any numbers in the sequence.
5) Be sure when filling in your [fltsim.x] entries that you pay special attention to which model you are needing to use.
6) Then assign the aircraft to some flightplans and you're on your way.

For more information or If you're not sure how to assign an aircraft to a flightplan, please visit our website at www.the-fruit-stand.com and look in the FAQ / Help section of our forums. Be sure to post any problems you may have or bugs you may find in our forum.

UPDATE ONLY:

1) Replace the model folders "model.Normal", "model.Normal_Reflective", "model.Sat" & "model.Sat_Reflective" with those included in this package.
2) Replace the folder texture.Airbus with that included in this package.
