READ ME file for the Tecnam P2002 Sierra Amphibian. This is version 1.0 by Don Halcom for the FSX.
This is FREEWARE and that means you cannot sell it. You are free to use it and even give copies away but nothing else. If you like the files (gauges, etc.) and you want to use them elsewhere in your flight simulator feel free to do so. If you use them in one of your models for other FREEWARE distribution, it is considered common courtesy to obtain the permission of the original person who made the item you want to use and to cite them in your FREEWARE. This is what I do now.
CREDITS
Thanks to Barry Blaisdell for his excellent Rotax 912 sound files. As far as I know these are the only Rotax 912 sound files on the internet. There are other Rotax sound files just not Rotax 912 sound files.

AirWrench from mudpond.org was used to make the flight dynamics. This software is not free but is very good.
Thanks to Microsoft for some of the gauges used in this model were the gauges that came with FSX.
I did most of the gauges in the "Sierra.cab" file. As FREEWARE you are free to use them in any way you like except to make money.
