Description: Fw200C.zip; Focke-Wulf FW200C Condor, F8+GL

I was working on this one when the one at simviation came out, so I dropped work on it with it 99% complete. I still think the textures on the other are better, but this is the one I prefered.

This was a conversion of an earlier FS5 or so aircraft that I ran thru the CFS converter program. I don't have a clue who did the model and textures or where I found them. The airfile is Trog's old bomber one for bombruns and such. It works well for the Condor. The dp file is mine, done with Hans Egebo's dp edit program.

Look in the panel folder and there is another zip file for gauges. Unzip them to your CFS/Gauges folder.
