The Model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This FS2004 & FS2002 only computer model performs similar to
the real aircraft. I designed the aircraft using Abacus FS Design
Studio Pro 2.4 . There are many key frame animated parts, including
clam-shell opening passenger doors, working spoilers along with all
other control surfaces and it also has a steerable nose wheel with its
landing light beam. A detailed interior with seats, table, curtains and
wood panelling are also featured.
This package only includes the default Lear 45 panel and sound configs
as a way of reducing the overall size of the file. A separate file is
available on Avsim for the FJ100 panel in FS2004 Panels.
This new model has been refined substantially over the previous one
by John Cillis who has modified the textures to give better shine for
the external surfaces and better transparency for the windows inside
and out. He has made a lot of other chamges to further enhance the
look of the aircraft, as well as offering a lot of advice - thanks John!
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just unzip the all files into your FS2004/Aircraft folder and
the files will extract to the sub directories of Model, Panel,
Sound and Texture (provided you have that folder option ticked in
your zip program).
Happy Landings!
Any problems or suggestions please contact me. Any Updates and fixes will be
