This is the first plane I've ever made to the Flight simulator,
so I hope you understand that it may contain some mistakes and stuff.
I've tried to make this plane similar to OH-U411, a Finnish TL-96 that
is located in Tampere. This is why, for example, the main panel only
contains three main gauges (The original plane had only those three).
Anyway, I decided to add some additional gauges to the panel to make
IFR navigation easier, so by pressing shift + 3 you'll get many small
additional gauges, including VOR, ADF, artificial horizon etc.
I don't master any programming language so I couldn't make any gauges
of my own. In other words, I used the default ones. Because of this
the throttle panel has one extra lever. There is a fixed propeller in
Star, so the pitch lever is there for nothing. Just try to ignore it..
I've never flown a real airplane so I can't guarantee that the flight
model is accurate. I hope it's at least good to fly. The airplane
tends to pitch down when using flaps (I didn't manage to fix this)
so using trim is necessery. The simulator also seems to have problems
with understanding flight dynamics of an ultralight so some unrealistic
settings (for example the plane is too heavy) had to be made to make
the plane fly normally.
Probably the best part of the airplane are textures which are made by
Ville Jalonen. The textures are from that real TL-96 and if there are
enough simmers who like to fly this plane, another textures from
another real Finnish star may come available.
Just unzip this package to the simulators "aircraft" folder (make sure
that the "use folder names" check box is checked!). This plane is made
for Flight Simulator 2004 and I have no idea if it works with other
versions.
This package is freeware, which means that you can use it freely, but
you mustn't try to make money with it (it could be pretty difficult..)
or change it in any way.
I want to thank everyone in fsnordic.net, who has helped me to
make this package. I especially want to thank Ville Jalonen for the
great textures and other help, and Mikko Maliniemi who has helped me
a lot with gMax modeling.
If you have problems with the plane or you have some suggestions for
improvements, you can contact me by writing to fsns_kary@yahoo.com.
