Thank you for downloading the Dash 7 Studios "Ex-SP Dash 9-44CW Pack"!

QUICK NOTES:

I would like to thank the guys at Searchlight Simulations for very kindly allowing me to make this repaint compatible with their "FDL-16 Dash8/9" Soundset (currently unavailable for purchase). As such, there are two versions of this repaint: one with compatibility for the aforementioned sound set, and one vanilla. There are seperate instructions to install based on which one you use, so PLEASE read carefully!

Credits:

RSC: Original Model.

Dash 7 Studios: Patch job, autonumbering changes, number textures, slight weathering.

Special Thanks: Searchlight Simulations (for allowing me to make this repaint compatible, as well as their excellent work on the sound pack).

JOHNtheREDNECK, for helping with the beta testing from an early stage.

And to the rest of my beta testers, thanks guys!
