-Add this to your keyboard.inp file: cmdLift = X
-Add "aircraft/weapons/wwi100.sm" to your startup.ppf file
-Add "aircraft/airfoils/zepp.ppf" to your startup.ppf file

Notes: The AI flies her well (Which was the whole point of this update) ans also bombs. She also flies well if you yourself fly her. Only thing the AI cant do is takeoff correctly. The AI stalls the Zepplin for some reason, and if it does actually get off the ground... it doesnt amount to much. The Zepplin is equipped with a "ballast" which is nothing more than a bunch of DOFs that push the wheels down causing the Zepplin to rise a 100 feet or so. To takeoff, turn off your brakes and press the X key and wait for the Zepplin to stop rising. Then turn on your engines and at about 45 mph, put your gear up and press X after that. Do NOT pull up immediately after you put your gear up. You dont need to... She will still go straight. Right now it just blows up if you destroy her. Until I can figure out how to make it fall out of the sky slowly, this is how it will have to be. To land, cut your engines and coast in at about 29-33 MPH. Also put your gear down but do NOT press X.

Making Missions with the Zepplin: Remember when making waypoints that this thing is BIG and SLOW! Do NOT start the Zepplin off on the ground. The AI is useless to take off. The starting speed should be 63 MPH and the first waypoint should follow VERY soon after with a speed of 55-60 MPH. When making waypoints, they should be semi far apart and easy on the turning angle. The fuel load should also be set at 15000.

Also included are Zepplin hunting missions that put you in the Nieuport 17 agianst the Zepplin and a Sopwith Pup agianst the Zepplin. Enjoy!

P.S. Also, I dont know how to fix the rockets and bombs passing thru the Zepplin. If you know how please tell me!

MUCH thanks to Pete Hawk who origonally made the Zepplin! Without that, I wouldnt of ben able to do this.
