Rammjager's P-47D skin "Big Ass Bird II"

Big Ass Bird II was flown by Howard Park of the 406th Fighter Group, 513th Fighters
Squadron, 9th Air Force.  

The skin textures for "Big Ass Bird II" can be installed alone to be used with Hammerd's 
original P-47D/M 3D files.  However, this zip comes with a complete set of altered 3D files 
that can be installed if the user chooses.  The new 3D files include changes to the pilot, 
canopy normals, and the prop effect.  All skins for Hammerd's P-47D/M can also be used with 
these altered 3D files.

Installation
------------

Before installing this, or any other, custom modification, you are advised to take a backup
your original ww2.sqs archive.

------------

IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO INSTALL THE MODIFIED 3D FILES, BE SURE TO INSTALL HAMMERD'S P-47D/M 
"FIREBALL" BEFORE TRYING TO INSTALL THE "BIG ASS BIRD II" SKIN.  

IT DOES NOT MATTER IN WHICH ORDER YOU INSTALL THE TEXTURES AND 3D FOR "BIG ASS BIRD II".  TO 
USE OTHER SKINS WITH THE NEW 3D FILES, YOU MUST INSTALL THEM FIRST.  

FOR EXAMPLE:

A - TO USE HAMMERD'S FIREBALL SKIN INSTALL THE FIREBALL, FIREBALL DAMAGE, AND 
FIREBALL WINGS, THEN THE NEW 3D FILES INCLUDED WITH "BIG ASS BIRD II".

B - TO USE HAMMERD'S "WILLIE THE WOLF" INSTALL THAT SKIN, THEN THE NEW 3D FILES INCLUDED WITH 
"BIG ASS BIRD II".

C - TO USE MY "SKANKEE YANKEE", INSTALL THE SKIN, THEN MY HI-REZ METAL P-47 WING
SKIN, THEN THE NEW 3D FILES INCLUDED WITH "BIG ASS BIRD II".

fOLLOW STEP C TO USE OTHER SKINS LIKE JOHNNY RED'S HELLHAWK.  IF YOU PREFER TO USE HAMMERD'S
"WILLIE THE WOLF" HI-REZ WING TEXTURES, INSTALL AS FOLLOWS!

D - INSTALL "WILLIE THE WOLF", THEN YOUR SKIN OF CHOICE, THEN THE NEW 3D FILES!

YOU MUST INSTALL A HI-REZ WING SKIN OR YOUR COCKPIT VIEW WINGS WILL NOT HAVE TEXTURE!  HOWEVER,
IF YOU TURN DOWN THE GAMES DETAIL LEVEL, THE WING TEXTURES WILL RETURN TO STANDARD LOW-REZ AND 
YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT THE HI-REZ SKINS IN THE ABOVE STEPS!
