OTHER NOTES
This aircraft was designed specifically for use as an AI aircraft. As such, the primary design criteria were that it look good sitting at the gate, or as seen when landing from an aircraft waiting to take off.
This plane also uses 5 different LOD (levels of detail) models, which means that as the plane gets visually smaller, the model displayed becomes simpler and simpler, thus reducing the drag on your computer.
If you download a GMAX aircraft that is just gorgeous, but really chews up your frame rates when used as AI if several of them appear on the screen at once, the designer probably did not use the LOD feature, so the model is always 20,000 polygons no matter how far away from you it is.

AI FLIGHT DYNAMICS
FDE's for AI aircraft are somewhat of a compromise. Dynamics that allow beautiful takeoffs often result in planes that will not land or land very badly. AIA fde's are also designed with traffic flow in mind. This means an AIA aircraft is going to touch down very near the end of the runway and quickly exit to make room for the next aircraft. If you want more "float" on landing, you can adjust the cruise lift, parasite drag and induced drag parameters in the aircraft.cfg file.

It also comes with a layered photoshop file that includes windows, doors, details, panel lines, shadows and weathering.

Please fly this aircraft with all your lights on except the landing lights. (press 'L' and then Ctrl + L) This way,
the engines will have the realistic Metallic Lusture it really has on the Yeti Airways. I have created this aircraft
with real photographs and with real hours of sitting at the airport watching every angle and aspect of the paint.
The Registration Number may Not match.
The best way to enjoy flying this airplane is to create flight plans from Lukla (nepal) airport and fly towards northeast side of nepal. U will come across Everest and the scenery is just spectacular. You will love flying this plane in dawn and dusk with external camera views.
Enjoy :)
