Description:
This Aircraft looks like aGMax model, but has something more. It's not. It includes all animations you could want for FS2002, for instance press SHIFT+E to open the main door. and the sun reflection effect not possible with GMax. With 5 different liveries, reflections and glare effect on fuselage and canopy. A basic Virtual cockpit. The PD-808 is an electronic warfare aircraft, used by italian forces. 27 were built, Piaggio found not anyone intersted in it in the hard civiian buisness, and limited to produce just the ones requested by Italian Air Force (FFAA)
It comes in 3 different liveries:
1) Aeronautica militare: as FFAA painted it for transportation use
2) Low Profile Gray: an opaque paint version, probably for use in electronic operations when mimetic is less important than radar engagement
3) Mimetic paint scheme: painted in gray and green ,the paint is strangely gloss to a mimetic paint...
4) Pratica Di Mare: a little test airport in Italy, soit's a sort of prototype used for secondary tests.
5) Test Livery: As Piaggio painted the first prototype (It seems...)

A.Software Requirements
To use this plane you NEED :
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002
Winzip
Installation:
1)Decompress in FS2002\aircraft. Now, in aircraft selection menu, selecet "Piaggio", amd then "PD-808". Choose your version (ATC data and tail numbers are already set, recognising the aircraft as a Piaggio Vespa Jet (That's the way people like to call it), so you don't need any Editvoicepack work or VPEdit file, it's included in the stock voicepack)
2)go to FS2002\aircraft\PD808ECM\effects. Copy all the files here in FS2002\effects (They are FX_Flare and FX_VespaJet_Lite)
B.Known bugs
Not ideal for high frame rates. Mipmapping generates some wrong-painted zones. Seems gear dampers do not follow completly the gear dampers as FS calculates them in the .AIR file
C.Author Info
As beta tester of AD2002, I just can say that AD is the GREATEST design tool...
