The T-65 X-Wing Starfighter (Red 5) v.1.0 for FS2002 (only)

This is my first FS project (more of a feature test) so please excuse the awkwardness, it's a work in progress.
The textures need an overhaul and I haven't event started on the virtual cockpit.

AIRCTAFT NOTES
==========================================

Flip on the NAV lights when you start up, that's the only way I could get the engine lights to work well. (R2's light is also chaind to the NAV lights)

To open the wings (combat mode), you need to map the tailhook key: settings-assignments...-general aircraft commands-tailhook. (I couldn't get the wing fold key to work in flight)

The flaps are ULTRA sensitive to allow STOL (Short TakeOff and Landing) as well as near hovering. It takes a little practice...

For normal landings, use NO flaps, set the throttle to idle and after touchdown use plenty of reverse thrust and brakes.

For STOL landings, set the throttle to idle, ease into full flaps, gear down and maneuver just above the ground, then kill the engines. (you will be around 50 kts)

For quick engine startup (autostart is slooow), bring up the throttle panel (Shift-4), flip all 4 fuel control levers up (on), bring up the overhead panel (Shift-5) and pull all 4 engine startup knobs.

The X-Wing has no rudder\ailerons\elevators so I took a little artistic license and added vector thrust. (it was boring without it)
