BAe 146-300/AVRO RJ-100 Version 1.0

Aircraft Model for FS2000

by Jon Murchison ( jonmurchison@hotmail.com )

____________________________________________________________________________________________

This aircraft model has been designed using FSDSPro by Abacus. It features a 32 sided
fuselage, spinning wheels, 3D spinning engine fans, 3D flightdeck with crew, fully animated
gear, flaps, ailerons, spoilers and night lighting. The main gear 'hang' while in the air,
and take the load of the aircraft once on the ground. There are a few other features you
will need to find for yourself.

I run a Pentium III-800, 128MB ram, 32MB NVidia tnt2 M64 graphic card and find I get excellent
frame rates. The model was BETA tested on a Pentium II-166 (low frame rates) and also a
Pentium III-450 (Good frame rates)

********************************************************************************************
1. INSTALLATION

a. Unzip the folder to your desktop.
b. Double click the self installer and follow the instructions

Note: Once installed open FS2000 and then select aircraft, the BAe146/Avro RJ100 should
be displayed on your list of aircraft. As a default this install will look for the
panel.Jet.Heavy.4 in the FSFSConv folder in your aircraft directory, and the LEAR45
sound set from the LEAR45 folder, also in your aircraft directory.

If the aircraft does not display on your list, check your AIRCRAFT folder to see if you
have both these folders installed. If not then you will need to manually change both
the panel and sound config files to point to a panel and sound set you already have
installed.

2. KNOWN MODEL FLAWS

This model is my first serious effort at an aircraft model built from scratch, and has
taken in excess of 8 months of work to complete. In that time my skill and knowledge
with FSDS has grown, so this model represents the latest experience I have. Because of
this the model will always be evolving and newer versions will be released from time to
time to take advantage of my growing skill. While every effort has and is made to
optimise performance, results cannot be guaranteed on all systems.

At present there is a small problem with the way the textures sit above the front left
door, a couple of polygons disappear at certain angles under the right wing close to the
fuselage, the flaps do not follow the line of the flap guides, the middle wing lights are
not positioned in the accurate position, and no outer landing lights appear at all during
the day. You will also notice what looks like a clash of parts at the left wingtip. There
are bound to be other bits and pieces you may notice, so if you feel inclined to give me
some feedback about something which doesnt look quite right then feel free to e-mail me.
This is a work in progress so update patches will come out from time to time to address
these issues.

6. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I'm 34 and currently work as a manager for New Zealand Post looking after 23 'posties'
(mailmen for non NZers), and prior to that was a postie myself. I have also been known
to dabble in commercial radio broadcasting.

I have been into flight simming for about 16 years. I began on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum,
moved to the Commodore 64, and remember going wow when I got Flightsimulator for that.
It was a in 1999 that I got my first 'real' PC, and FS2000 almost straight away with it.
In 2000 I met Peter Lohr and then really started to look at repainting aircraft at first,
and then building them myself. It was in 2000 that Aircraft Repaints New Zealand was born,
and the rest as they say, is history.
