This is a remake of our previously uploaded airplane in sept 2007. We provide now a full package (aircraft and panel), both for FSX and FS2004.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS FILE IF YOU DON'T FEEL SURE ABOUT NOTES 1 AND 2

(Please read Notes at the bottom of this page before installing).

FOREWORD
==========
The G.59 advanced trainer was derived from the G55 Centauro of World War II, this single seat fighter being evolved in single and two-seat trainers in the immediate post war years. The model shown in this package represents a real aircraft flown by the author Capt. Italo D'Attomo in the good old days (Year 1951 at Elmas A.F.B.).

Thank you for downloading this package, we hope you'll enjoy it.

IMPORTANT!
===========
You MUST also insert the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' in the Main FSX or FS2004 folder , otherwise you will experience an FS crash!!


FREEWARE!
=========

This model features highly reflective metallic skin and full animations.
The panel background has been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic material found on the net and some photos shot by the authors.
Most of the gauges have been created by the authors, some are default gauges.
Included in this model there is also a Virtual Cockpit, with working essential flight instruments and animated flight controls , plus camera views (FSX only).


INSTALLATION
============
Please DO NOT use installers.
Unzip this file into your Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\airplanes folder or FS2004\aircraft folder and you will find the "FIAT G59" folder with the usual subfolders, including a 'GougeSound.dll', then only one operation is required:

1) Copy the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' then Paste in your main Flight Simulator X folder or main FS2004 folder (if you don't have it yet).

We think this should be the end of the installation procedure.

...Happy landings!

TIPS
====
The 'G59' did not carry an autopilot, anyway it is available in basic functions using 'Z' key.
FS2004 users will find this plane listed in the Aircraft Manufacturer as "FIAT AVIAZIONE".
To operate the Glycol radiator cowl, please use the keys for the 'Cowl Flaps', (check the quick reference key commands).

Please do not hesitate to use elevator trim as required to fly the plane hands-off.
Flying on virtual cockpit you can move the eyepoint as required for better vision (check your eyepoint keyboard on FS options\controls\assignements for the keys required to move the 'eyepoint of view' (left/right/up/down/back or forward).
For Camera definitions (FSX only), please use ''A'' key to cycle views within a category and 'S' to change category (check the quick reference key commands).
Simmers using FSX Acceleration might see the canopy somewhat ''glossy'' please switch the lights ON/OFF once.

We installed succesfully this model on our FSX Deluxe Edition and FSX Gold plus Acceleration pack without installers, simply following the above procedure.


Note 1: Loading the aircraft for the first time in the FSX you will get an 'unknown author' message for each of our gauges.
Click 'YES' if you like our gauges or 'NO' if you don't. If you say 'NO' you will not have our instruments displayed on the panel, except the default ones.
Note 2: You will get a second message asking you to "trust" the related gauge; if you click "Yes" when asked, you will never be asked again.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BOTH MESSAGES .

Note 3: If you want to see a different panel, copy or aliase a panel of a single engine prop. of your choice: in this case, the VC will not be shown correctly.
You might also create a panel by removing our gauges and installing your preferred.

Note 4: Installing & using this package is at your own risk.

Note 5: FSX-Settings\Display\Graphics; selecting ''Light_Bloom'' check box, in the global options window, might not be compatible with our model and the selected plane may not appear.
