Optional (if you want a VC light):
[lights]
light.0 = 8, -47.59, -15.500, 6.5000, TDSB3_wing_light
light.1 = 8, -47.59, 15.500, 6.5000, TDSB3_wing_light
light.2 = 6, -13.39, 0, -1.96, tdsnose_gearwell
light.3 = 4, -18.00, 0.00, 3.00, fx_vclight
Optional:
Allows jetways to connect to main door, replace the entire [exits] section with the one below:
[exits]
number_of_exits =4
exit.0 = 0.3, -16.5, -5.5, 3.0, 0
exit.1 = 0.3
exit.2 = 0.3
exit.3 = 0.3
<-- Baked GSU textures -->
Optional:
I rendered some ambient occlusion for the GSU equipment and updated the textures. Download the .zip file linked below and extract the 5 included textures into your Texture.BOE folder allowing them to overwrite the existing files.
At this point the MAX 8 should be flyable, you may delete the temporary folder where you extracted the download now, you won't be needing it anymore. Enjoy the MAX 8, if you need help ask in the FSX forum as I won't be regularly monitoring this blog entry.
