+Plane Description Format:
+=========================
+
+By default, the airplane description files are in planes/ directory, but that
+can be changed by editing the config file. We'll assume that the config file
+contains the default values.
+
+The planes/ directory contains the description files directly. For example,
+planes/B747.info is a file with the Boeing 747 specs.
+
+Each line contains label-value pair, these are the labels supported as of now:
+* FullName	= The long name for the plane, eg. "Boeing 747-400" (string)
+* Name		= The 3-4 letter abbreviation, eg. "B747" (string)
+* Heavy		= Is this plane considered "heavy"? (yes/no)
+* Jet		= Is it a jet? (yes/no)
+* StallSpeed	= Stall speed of this aircraft (number)
+* ClimbNormal	= Normal rate of climb (number)
+* MaxAltitude	= Maximum altitude for this aircraft (number)
+
+Note: There must be a ": " after each label, and the label names are case sensitive.
