 Now that we have created the -bombableinclude.xml file, we need to set up the aircraft to load the file on startup.
-Load the file F-15E_StrikeEagle-set.xml again.
+AI scenarios (and MP aircraft) load the aircraft's model file.  So we need to locate that file and include the new -bombableinclude.xml file in it.
+Where is the model file?  Look in the aircraft's -set.xml file. In that file will be a section called <model>.  For the F-15E it looks like this:
+  <model>
+   <path>Aircraft/F-15E/Models/F-15E_StrikeEagle.xml</path>
+  </model>
+So Aircraft/F-15E/Models/F-15E_StrikeEagle.xml is our model file.
-At the beginning of that file you will find this:
+Load Aircraft/F-15E/Models/F-15E_StrikeEagle.xml in a text editor. At the beginning of that file you will find this:

 Save the file.
+Note: include="F-15E_StrikeEagle-bombableinclude.xml" indicates that F-15E_StrikeEagle-bombableinclude.xml will be in the same directory as F-15E_StrikeEagle.xml.  That directory is Aircraft/F-15E/Models -- so make sure that the -bombableinclude.xml file is indeed in that directory!
