DESCRIPTION:

FS9 Configurator is a utility tool designed to provide an interface to the fs9.cfg (and other cfg files) file for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
It provides the following functions:

1) Allows for simplified traversal of the cfg files for FS9.
2) Allows addding/editing/removing key values.
3) Provides a mechanism for adding help comments for key values.
4) Allows for searching for key/data within a cfg file.
5) Allows for managing multiple versions of the fs9.cfg file.
6) Provides an interface to automatically launch FS9 with a specific fs9.cfg file.
7) Provides an interface to automatically launch FS9 with a specific saved flight.
8) Provides tools for common tasks:
	Set Contrail Temp
	Toggle Brake Message
	Toggle Opening Screen
	Toggle Average FPS
	Toggle Visible Damage
	Toggle AutoPilot wing leveler

The program will automatically determine where the fs9.cfg and other cfg files are located.  If it cannot find a file, the user will be
notified and allowed to search for the file.

The help files are located in the \Windows folder.  The help file is built dynamically and will not be created by the
software until the user adds help to a cfg file.  One help file is built for each CFG file.  The files are names fs9*.ini.  These files can be
shared among users as the knowledge of CFG entries is built.

FILES:

fs9configurator.exe - the main file.

INSTALLATION:

NOTE:  PLEASE UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS FIRST BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION!

This program does not modify the Registry in any way.
