This is an update for FSX of the default Dash 8-100.  This will make it flyable and includes a Dash 8 panel background by Mario Coelho that I updated.  You will need the Concorde gauge if you don't already have it from a panel that needed it in FS9.  It can be found on the web somewhere, or with the update I just did for an F-15 panel.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Make a copy of the default dash 8 and rename the folder Dash 8-100, or whatever you wish.  Copy the renamed aircraft folder to the SimObjects\airplanes folder.  Add the panel from this update and replace the air and aircraft.cfg files with the ones from this update.  Copy the thumbnail.jpg from the texture folders with this update to the corresponding texture folders of the aircraft.  Delete the soundai folder and replace it with the sound folder from this update, or with any sound folder you have that you want to use.

DO NOT TRY TO UPDATE THE DEFAULT AIRCRAFT WITHOUT COPYING AND RENAMING IT, OR THE AI DASH 8 AIRCRAFT WON'T SHOW, OR IF THEY DO, WON'T FLY THE WAY THE DEFAULT AI AIRCRAFT DO.  THE FLIGHT DYNAMICS ARE THAT DIFFERENT.

If you have not already done so, copy any '.cab' files from the panel folders of the default aircraft to the main FS gauges folder.  The default aircraft don't all have .cab files in their panel folders.  This only has to be done once.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
