-INFORMATION-
In Panel View, To get a better view over the top of the Panel press
Shift + Enter keys on the key board.
To return to normal view, Press Ctrl + Space Keys on the keyboard,
or when landing, approach the airfield a little higher than normal so the nose drops farther to see more of the runway when making your final decent.
To remove the cockpit canopy, Press the / key on the keyboard, spoiler key activates.
In virtual cockpit view, press Shift + or - keys on the Keyboard to zoom in or out to your liking, and a joystick with a tophat switch works well when setup for pan view.
The Float Version can be landed on the water with crash detection on, just
touch down very gently.
To Toggle Beacon light on and off, Press O key on the keyboard.
If the gauges don't display properly in virtual cockpit view, try right clicking the mouse button and choose Panel View and then press the S key on the keyboard.
The Gauges don't showup very well at night in virtual cockpit view, but who flys an ultralight at night anyway. :)
Before Flying the Ultralight, switch to PANEL VIEW and then Press the S key on the key board to make sure FS2000 has loaded all the resources for the gauges and that they display properly in Virtual Cockpit View, otherwise FS2000 may crash with a can't find resources error.
If you get a blank square box in virtual cockpit view, the only way I no of to fix this unfortunatly, is to load a different aircraft from the SELECT AIRCRAFT menu and then reload the FireStar again, if this doesn't work then FS2000 will have to be restarted. Before you restart Choose PREVIOUS FLIGHT from Select Flight and make it the default Startup flight. Then choose FireStar Ultralight from Select a flight menu or load FireStar from SELECT AIRCRAFT menu, and goto the airfield of your choice. This will put you back with the firestar loaded when FS2000 restarts. If you want you can leave Previous flight as your startup flight, then when you start FS2000 it will put you back where you last left FS2000 with the last aircraft you where flying.
Thats all I'll say about the model improvements, you'll have to fly it to find them all.
