NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS6.1 (FS98) Format
The FSCONV98.EXE and FS98PAT1.EXE Programs
MUST be installed to FS98.
These are available from microsoft.com and SurClaro
plus other Flightsim sites on the Net.
To install: UnZip to your FS98\AIRCRAFT Folder using
WinZip or similar program making sure the paths option
is turned on.
Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
and go flying.
I can recommend a not very huge, but still complete set
of sounds named: SAABJB03.zip (or later), by Jens Borgstroem.
Originally created for his SAAB340B and S2000 aeroplanes, but
very suitable for DASH8s aswell.
Download from either my homepage (see above) or SurClaro.
This aircraft was created by me using AF99 by Abacus Software
and consists of a.o. 12 point round fuselage and 3D parts,
animated control surfaces, moving spoilers and landing gear.
It also has Moving Props and operating Landing Lights Added
using "Aircraft Animator".
FYI, to operate the lights - press CTRL L to turn them on or
off. At night you can see them illuminating runway.
Furthermore: Operational Nav Lights and Strobes.
Night Lighting seen in cabin windows and 4 bladed
Props shown at engines off.
NOTAM: FS2000 does NOT Support Night lighting or Landing Lights.
