This is a free update to allow owners of  MAAM-SIM's B-25J 'Briefing Time' to install and use the FS9 aircraft in Flight Simulator X.   There have been many changes by Microsoft from FS9 to FSX.  This update primarily addresses changes in the panel and aircraft configurations, and gauges.  It will install thumbnail pictures for the FSX Select Aircraft Menu.   May be used for any edition FS9 Briefing Time CD and the Download Version.  Includes the transparency fix for SP2/Acceleration.

This upgrade will allow you to use the planes in the new sim, but more remains to be done, and there are some features that are no longer supported by FSX.  We intend to produce a full-blown FSX version of the aircraft package in the future.   Includes illustrated html installation instructions which you should definitely use!   By MAAM-SIM

The preceding 19 texture sets were produced by Stephan Demmelmeier.  While "Rattle" is not a member of MAAM-SIM, he is an outstanding repainter.  However, we would suggest you do not follow the installation instructions in some of his earlier repaints, unless you have unlimited "hangar space" on your hard drive.  In these, Stephan instructs you to copy the entire BT folder for each repaint.  A better way, as Stephan instructs in his later repaints, is to edit the aircraft.cfg in your B-25J Briefing Time aircraft folder to add each repaint.  In that way, the only additional files added to your hard drive are the repaints' texture folders which are all put into the  B-25J Briefing Time aircraft folder.

Following is the step by step procedure for adding a single repaint, which you can repeat for each additional one you want to install.   Alternately, if you would like to have this aircraft.cfg editing and folder renaming business done for you, we'll also give you a self-installing archive that adds all 18 of Rattle's repaints to your FS Aircraft list, automatically. Your choice.  If you want the whole kit and caboodle, go here.  But if you want to do it yourself, and only want one or two repaints, read on...

We'll use the most recent version for FS9 with the bare metal and falcon variations included in this example.  The only difference for earlier versions would be the number of variations already in them. 

1.  Download the repaint you wish to add and unzip it into a temporary folder.
2.  Open the B-25J Briefing Time aircraft.cfg file using Notepad.
3.  Scroll down past the last aircraft variation entry, in this case, that's [fltsim.8] . Here's what it looks like:

4.  After this entry you need to add a new one for the new repaint.  The easiest way to do that is to open Stephan's aircraft.cfg with Notepad and copy the first section, then paste it in below the last aircraft entry in the BT aircraft.cfg.  Here's what that first section looks like for "Lazy Daisy Mae"...

5.  Change the number of the [fltsim] entry to reflect the next number in sequence.  In our example, that would be [fltsim.9]

6.  Rename the texture folder of the repaint to the next available texture number.   Look in the Briefing Time aircraft folder to find out how many are there.   Since in our example, this is the first repaint, you would name the folder "texture.3".  Note: that dot in the title is critical.

7.  Drag or copy the renamed texture folder into the B-25J Briefing Time aircraft folder.

8.  Edit the aircraft.cfg texture entry to match the number of the renamed repaint texture folder, in this case, texture=3.

9.  If your repaint calls for the solid-nose strafer version of BT, the model line will read model=3.  In our example, this is not the case, so the model line remains undesignated, which means it is the full version of Briefing Time.  If you wish to use a medium or light version, these are the proper entries:
    model= (blank)  Full VC version of BT
    model=1 Light, no VC version of BT
    model=2 Medium VC version of BT
    model=3 Full VC version of Falcon gunship
    model=4 Medium VC version of Falcon gunship
    model=5 Light, no VC version of Falcon gunship

10.  Save the aircraft.cfg and close everything up.  That's all there is to it.  The next time you start FS, your repaint will show up as a variation of BT or the Falcon Gunship, as the case may be.  Follow this same procedure for each repaint you wish to add.

The DBAF's 1944 built Mitchell was found in Baton Rouge, LA (USA) in a rather neglected state.  The registration N320SQ was arranged to honour the former RAF (Dutch) 320 Squadron, operating Mitchells in the European theatre of war.  Since May 1990 the aircraft is operated from Eindhoven, where she was restored to an excellent condition.  The active military period of the bomber was from 1944 up to 1958 with USAAF Administrative Units as transport and support aircraft of the Air University Wing.  Several civil owners operated the aircraft since 1959.  Amongst them was a tropical fisheries company and a skydiving operator. Records indicate that not all operations might have been legal.  By Alexander Grun.

This self-installing archive adds the first 19 Rattle Repaints of 'Briefing Time' to your FS2002 or FS2004 aircraft list.  All repaint textures, properly renamed, are placed in the B-25J Briefing Time aircraft folder and  its aircraft.cfg is replaced with one that adds the additional planes.  This compilation adds only the Full VC version of the repaints, although the Medium and Light versions of BT, the bare-metal BT, and the Falcon gunship are retained.  No editing or file renaming is required.   Just install and choose which Mitchell you want to fly today.   By MAAM-SIM

Caution: installing this archive will overwrite any previous repaints to BT that you have installed.  It will not alter the original BT, BT Bare-Metal, or Falcon Gunship aircraft entries.

Note: See the accompanying documents for instructions on editing the aircraft.cfg if you prefer the Medium or Light Complexity model.

After installation, the repaints will each appear in your Select Aircraft Menu in the Variation box under the North American B-25J, as shown here...
