I want to thank Buccaneer for saving this aircraft from a broken HDD. Without his efforts the plane would have been lost. A big THANK YOU to Scott and Bill for the hotrod and all the help! Thanks to Hammerd and Jaxon for the parts I swiped (but modified a bit), Thanks to Swiper for his extremely valuable utilities and Judge for his J3Editor. And Hobo1 for the reference links. Life is good.

Included with this release are two mission files that allow the player to fly the B-17G. These files must be copied to your missions directory. Assuming the default installation, this is: C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data\missions. Please note that there is not a cockpit file for this or any other bomber in the game. You will see a distorted P-51 cockpit when playing from the interior view, this is normal! Also, DO NOT try to drop bombs! This will cause your system to lock up and require a reboot.

Do not alter and redistribute these files without my permission. New skins can be created from scratch and distributed freely.

Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before installing this, or any other custom modification, you are advised to take a backup your original ww2.sqs archive. Extract the contents of this archive to the WWII Fighters\Data directory. Assuming the default installation, this is: C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data
The files will be extracted to a new directory WWII Fighters\Data\Rammjager_B-17G. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WWII Fighters\Data\Rammjager_B-17G folder. Clicking on the "install" script will open up a DOS session and the installation will proceed in this window. When the installation is complete, a message saying "COMPLETE...CLOSE DOS SESSION" will be displayed in the window. Close the DOS session by clicking on the X close button in the top right corner of the window.

This distribution includes textures in 512x512 and 256x256 resolutions. To reduce the resolution to 256 you must click on the "ReduceResolution" script. You must first run the normal install script and then the reduce script or the installation will not be complete! Please note that reducing the resolution will also remove the glass objects from the aircraft. This is done to provide better performance for slower machines.

Installation is now complete. Watch out for flak.
