Thank you for downloading the Lancair Legacy 2000. This project has been a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Features: Full compliment of moving aerodynamic surfaces, Fowler flaps, detailed retractable landing gear, steerable nose gear, rotating tires, flexing suspension, speed brakes, landing lights, detailed virtual cockpit interior with illuminated gauges, as well as reflective exterior surfaces with specular highlights.
Flight dynamics: Engine portion - Bob Samuelson, aerodynamic portion - Robert Christopher. Rev's to follow.
Installation:
1) UnZip Legacy.zip file to the Flight Sim 2002 main directory. Sub folders will be created as required, which include Gauge, Effect and DLL folders.
2) Copy *.gau files to the main Gauge folder, and *.fx file to the Effects folder. The Gaugesound.dll must be placed in the root FS2002 directory.

Operations Info:
1) Steering - Differential Brakes (a little power helps also) .
2) Take Off - Typically 1 notch of flaps - Trim (5) check the window above
the trim wheel in 2D - Rotate at 70K - should come off at 80-85K.
3) Climb Out - Retract gear - retract flap - gently lower the nose - trim
accordingly.
4) Cruise - Should be around 220 to 240K - depending on altitude, temp, etc.
5) Prep for Landing - Apply speed brake to slow - gear at first white arc,
flaps at second white arc
7) Pattern - Around 120-130K
8) Landing - With brake, gear and full flaps typical speed on final is around
100-110K, short final at 90K(power as necessary), and touch down around 80K.
In the VC if you put the top of the left cowling cheek on the threshold lights
and hold 500 fpm decent, she comes in very nicely. Typical flare does
obscure the runway just before touchdown. Gently lower the nose and apply
even brakes.
VC Lights - There are two small switches on the 2D panel next to the landing
gear light for panel (right) and gauge (left) lights at night. The landing light is
activated by the "Taxi Light" switch.
Sorry, nothing opens such as canopy, etc. I did not want to do any further
cutting on the fuse trying to keep the smooth curves.
VC Gauges - To get the smoothest performance possible while in the VC,
gauges are mounted on individual planes. This in turn slows the update of
the gauges.
There is also a Compass (Window2), 2D engine gauge (Window 3), and Coyote
Garmin GPS 195 (Window 4).
