Specials thanks to H.G. Schnell and Ulrich Effertz for their terrific work and authorization to let me paint this aircraft in the colors of Texas-based Lone Star Airlines
email: "Hans-Guenther Schnell" <hans-guenther.schnell@metronet.de>  and
       "Ulrich Effertz" <ue@popmail.oche.de>

The paintjob was made with the TEXCONVERTER.
Some textures was taken from the original version 6.0 of this aircraft. 


===============================================================================      
FS98: Installation:

1- Unzip with a 32-bit unzip program, all the files in a temporary directory.

2- Copy the directory saten328 in your FS98  
   ( ex. ...\Flight Simulator\Aircraft\saten328  
 
   That's all that is needed. The new airplane should appear in the aircraft menu of FS98.


Important: (You need to have the MS converter (fsconv98.exe) installed in order to add and fly the new planes).
