                  README for STATIC AIRCRAFT .mdl MAKER ("SAMM") - Version 1.0.16
                  ***************************************************************

Tired of having to program AI (and suffer the overhead) just to have some "eye candy" sitting around
your airport.  No More!  Static Aircraft .mdl Maker ("SAMM") will convert just about any flyable FS8 
or FS9 aircraft into a FS9 scenery model.  Just "point" SAMM to the aircraft you wish to convert, 
decide where to save the scenery file and, presto, "eye candy".  (SAMM will not convert models developed 
specifically for FSX or for FS2000 or earlier) 

 
                       		 INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION
	                	 **************************
To install SAMM, copy or unzip all the files from the downloaded archive to the folder from which SAMM is to
be installed/run, overwriting files of the same name from any earlier version.  

To run SAMM, double-click on "SAMM.exe".  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN SAMM FROM THE UNZIPPED ARCHIVE.

SAMM is a VB NET.Framework 3.5 application. If NET.Framework 3.5 is not already installed on your computer, 
the redistributable can be downloaded from the Microsoft website at no charge.

                
                	    	      AUTOMATIC UPDATES
                 	   	      ****************
Whenever SAMM is run, during startup it checks the support website to determine if a more recent release is
available,  If so, it will download that release with your consent. The updated release is installed in the 
normal manner.


					  SUPPORT
