First of all...... WELCOME TO THE SKYCAR M400 PRODUCTION TYPE PLUG IN MODULE FOR THE FS9 FLIGHTSIM.




V E R S I O N 5
--------------------------


My name is

A.C. Kerkhove
Goeman Borgesiusstraat 97
4384 JN Vlissingen
The Netherlands

The creator of the Skycar Modules SCm400V3, SCm400V4 (the prototype) , SCm400V5 (the production type).

I am doing this now for more than 4 Years.
The SCm400V3 had a download count off 8.000
the SCm400V4 had a download count off 45.000

I hope this version will exceed all.

This module is build with 391 Parts, 40.203 Vertices and 33.923 Polygons
I have used the folowing programs:

FSDS 2.42, Photoshop 7.0, Corel Paint 9, DTX to BMP, BMP editors, Gmax 1.2, window paint, Panel editor, Winzip 7.0

I will thank all those great Gauge creators, They made this project possible.


The specifications of the version 5 are:
-----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Model like the real M400 production type.
4 rotating engine pods.
8 rotating blades.
4 moving enginerudders.
Light system with and on rotating engines.
Special light effect in Night view.
Folding wings front and back in animation mode.
2 doors with opening and close In parking brake mode.
Retracting gear with steerwheel on front and with suspension on all
Turning wheels.

Smoke system for special effect shows.
Moving pilot head and moving passenger head in 2 mode.
Manual Hover and Auto Hover system.
Speed boosting mode for speed flying.
100% VTOL.
High resolution 2D panel.
High resolution 3D cockpit 360 degrees lookarround with clickable working gauges and
moving backseat passenger in 3D cockpit. (not in autorudder configuration).

moving HUD system with autopilot.
Animation is in 3D model and in VR cockpit mode.
Reflecting textures (Alpha mode).
Top speed 120 KTS in heli mode in Boosting methode 2x 4x 8x 16x speed with
control off autopilot 32x no autopilot.

Example with a fly speed of 80 kts in heli mode you get in 4x boosting 4 x
80kts = 320 KTS.

we have searched for a gauge that calculate this but with no success yet.
I there is a gauge creator who could make this happen, please do so and contact me.

4x speed boosting is realistic, higher is fun but the real plane can not do
such things.

for boosting the speed we used the Sim Rate option.

This new methode makes this carplane very stable so roof top landing can be
done with some little practice.

Drive mode to 25 kts drive forwards and backwards with your stick handling.
Backwards inparking is possible.
Flying backwards is possible with some little effort.
No pushback is nessesary all movements are made with stick and trottle..
the trottle is used for liftoff power.
It is a compleet new way to fly but easy
to learn.



Have fun.




=============================How to Install this Skycar==================================


First create a dump map for example c:\dump

then unzip the Zip file into this map

you will get c:\dump
Skycar

This Skycar map contains everything you need

Open this map .

Now you find a map called Neede_Gauges Open this map, and copy all the gauges in this map to your main Gauge map off FS2004 (FS9).

Do not overwrite gauges if they already exist.

Next is to copy the whole skycar map to your aircraft map off FS20004.

Thats all.

===========================================================================================


===================================== EXTRA's==============================================

The Skycar map also contains some extra things.

In the map GENERAL_info you find some document to read about the real thing.
In the map SreensaverSA you find a Screensaver.

In the map Fly_M400_screens your get some info JPEG's that tells you how to do things.
But if you realy whant to know this plane just step inside and try it yourself. This
plane is not hard to learn and stable as a rock.



In the map Alternatief you find replacemend Texures that you can copy into the Map Texture.3
If you want to.
Standaard there are four liveries.

(Special note: Jerry here you find your stuff)


===================================UPDATE FOR FILE SCm400v4===================================


In the map UpdateSCm400v4_FS2004 you find the update for the file SCm400V4 this is the Skycar
prototype


==============================================================================================

In this module there is a 2D panel But the 3D VR cockpit is fully clickable and more fun and realistic.
This module also comes with a option for Dual monitor configurations.
Just activate the window screen for dual monitor and drag it to your second monitor, resise it and save the configuration situation in FS9.

This module also has the option to set it in a full screen HUD mode.
