The model features a complete 3-D virtual cockpit,and a 2-D panel. Sounds are inculded. The external model features all typical animations plus a load of custom ones. Also incluides all custom special effects, including different selectable floodlights for the virtual cockpit (by simply flicking ON the proper light switch on the cockpit itself). Plus with a fly-on-the-numbers flight dynamics file. Includes full documentation. THIS IS THE FS-2004 RELEASE. IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH FS-X. THERE IS ALSO A FS-X RELEASE THAT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH FS-2004. THis is the "RM" variant of the aircraft and base package. Other PD-808 variants will come next. This base package with the RM version will be needed for these to work properly.

A.Software Requirements

To use this plane you NEED :

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004
Winzip

Installation:

Decompress the archive in your main FS-2004 directory. Launch FS-2004. Select Piaggio, PD-808, then your favourite paint scheme. You're done! Documentation can be found directly in-sim with a quick dynamic checklist & FS kneeboard. A more detailed flight manual is available under "[your Flight simulator 2004 directory]\aircraft\PD808_shared\Documents\PD-808 Flight Manual.pdf" If you can't find the file, do a Windows search... it has not been possible to link it inside FlightSim's kneeboard because PDF files are not supported at the point that they send FS into a crash.
