This is a fictional Golden Mountain Dog Solutions repaint of the freeware Grumman G21A Goose for FS2004 ACOF by Lynn and Bill Lyons. To end up with the machine that I know and love requires prior installation of the files described in my blog article of 29 November 2009 titled "A Host of Furious Fancies - Chapter the Fourth". The blog article refered to here can be found in the "Flight Simulator" category on my personal website at http://randy.whynacht.ca, and an html version of the article is also included with this ReadMe.

INSTALLATION:

STEP 1:
Download and install the files described in my blog article.

STEP 2:
Install or modify each as described in the aforesaid article.

Step 3:
Copy/paste the texture folder "texture.GMDS" that you downloaded with this ReadMe into the "G21" folder that was created in your FS9 "aircraft" folder when you installed the airplane.

STEP 4:
Open the aircraft.cfg file installed in the the "G21" folder and copy/paste the following text at the end of the variants list. Change the "N" in "fltsim.N" to the next sequential number.

[fltsim.N]
title=Grumman Goose G21a GMDS
sim=g21
model=1
panel=
sound=
texture=GMDS
panel_alias =
sound_alias =
kb_checklists=Goosea_check
kb_reference=Goosea_ref
visual_damage=1
atc_id=C-GMNI
prop_anim_ratio=0.45
ui_manufacturer=Grumman
ui_type= Golden Mountain Dog Solutions
ui_variation=
description=Grumman Goose based in Bridgewater Nova Scotia with Golden Mountain Dog Solutions. Textures by Randy L. Whynacht, August 2009.
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=

STEP 5:
Check that the following text appears at the end of the variants list:

[General]
atc_type=Grumman
atc_model=G21
editable=1
performance=See Kneeboard Reference

If it doesn't, then copy/paste the text from here and put it there. This will ensure that ATC refers to your airplane as a "Grumman Goose" and not simply as "Experimental".

STEP 6:
Go and fly!
