FOREWORD
========
The model features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, spinning wheels and so on.
Furthermore, as you can observe, it is a very detailed model.
The livery and italian registration mark provided with this model are pure phantasy chosen by the authors.
The panel background has been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic material found in the net.
The most part of the gauges have been created by the authors.
We provided also a panel for the FSX simulator, but for its use please see the Note for expert simmers at the bottom.
Included in this model there is also a simplified Virtual Cockpit, with working essential gauges and animated flight controls.
INSTALLATION
============
Just unzip this file into your FlightSimulator9/aircraft folder and you will find a"Zlin-726" folder with the usual subfolders, a 'GougeSound.dll', and a 'Zlngau' folder, then operate as follows:
Step 1-Copy/Paste the 'Zlngau' folder ( AS IS ) into the main FlightSimulator 9 'Gauge' or FSX 'Gauge' folder.
Step 2-Copy/Paste the 'GougeSound.dll' in your main FlightSimulator 9 or FSX folder (if you don't have it yet).
We think this should be the end of the installation procedure.
...Have happy flights!

NOTE FOR THE EXPERT SIMMERS:
We installed this model on our FSX ''airplanes'' folder simply following the 'flight simulator 9' procedure and model works ok, but you should REMOVE the 'Panel' folder and RENAME the enclosed ' FSX Panel' folder as 'Panel'.
Note 1: After installing the 'Zlngau' folder ( AS IS ) into the FSX gauge folder, loading the aircraft for the first time you will get an 'unknown author' message for each of our gauges.
Click 'YES' if you like our gauges or 'NO' if you don't. If you say 'NO' you will not have our instruments on your panel, except the default ones.
Note 2: You will get a second message asking you to "trust" the related gauges; if you "trust" them and say "Yes" when asked, you will never be asked again.
Please read carefully both messages when prompted.
Note 3: If you want to see a different panel, aliase a panel of your choice or create a panel by yourself, but In this case the VC will not be shown.
Note 4: Installing & using this package is at your own risk.
Sounds and FD for FS9, back seat VC works.
The excellent original Italian Z726 model is a ' K ' version (tail,rudder).
FS9 traditional aerobatics.
Ground gear scrapepoints are set-up for compression,
takeoff/start and touchdown.
Unfortunately this is not same the fs model's gear location.
Included a model gear set-up aircraft,cfg version too under scrapepoint2.
Engine approximate to an M337AK, as
ManPress, Oil- Press and Temp, FuelPress, HP, Compression,
RPM, CHT, Cyl.Disp. and Prop.Diam.
The cyl.numbers and supercharged are not real, needing for fs9 works.
About real Trener sounds with fs9 default start-shutdown sounds.
Try from vertical flight with full power to stop location and
listen the roll up engine ..
The Z526F is the unlimited aerobatics Trener version, the Z726K is not.
The handling realism is rather good for the fs9 (eg.: drived roll ect.)
