!!! REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT !!!

These models will not automatically result in your aircraft having reflections!  In order for a model to have a reflection in FS, the texture for that model ***MUST*** have a reflection map in the alpha channel of that texture.
Since aia models were originally released with non-reflective textures, these textures will not have a reflection channel, thus no reflections will appear on the model in FS.

Please visit out forum at www.ai-aardvark.com if you have any questions about this.

INSTALLATION:

Replace any of your previous AIA .mdl files with the .mdls in this package to allow the use of reflections.  Included for each aircraft type is a reflective model as well as a non-reflective model, each in their own folder.  If you decide to go back to the non-reflective models, use the .mdl file found in the "NON_REF" folder

INSTALLATION OF SAMPLE TEXTURE FOR AMERICAN AIRLINES 757-200 (RR)
You must have already installed the AIA American Airlines 757-200 (rr) aircraft to use this texture.  File name at avsim or flightsim.com: "aia752ar.zip"

Place the "texture.american_rr" folder in your "AIA_757_200_AMERICAN_RR" folder which is in your FS2002\aircraft directory.  This should overwrite your original non-reflective texture folder.

*******

FRAME RATES
Our tests show that using reflections in FS can result in a frame rate loss of between 2-3 fps.  Your results may vary.  If your frame rates are too low, turn reflections "off" in FS and see if they improve.
