Airbus A300-600 Flight models
************************************

July 15th, 2002.


Here is my version 1 of flight dynamics models for an Airbus A300-600 for FS2000.
They have been designed fromAibus and Korean Air real specifications.
For use with any A300-600 aircraft of your choice.

Long range version of the A300 family.

Version. 1.

Installation:
--------------
include (after making a back up of the previous files) one of the .air and the .cfg
files in any A300-600 aircraft, at the level of the previous .air and .cfg files.
The .cfg file contains additional parameters, combined with the .air
to which I have added the sections under [jet_engine], generated via FS2000 utilities.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This model has been designed using the key-board and
not a joy-stick. For a joystick, if the aircraftcommands respond too quickly
or in an exagerate manner, you can increase the parameters roll_stability
and yaw_stability in the aircraft.cfg to 1.000 or even more.




Some figures:
--------------

fuel: 65 tons .
Range: about 4200 NM economy speed.
