Special Thanks to Sgt Jack Power for his help
in creating this authentic military aircraft.
NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS6.1 (FS98) Format
The FSCONV98.EXE and FS98PAT1.EXE Programs
MUST be installed to FS98.
For use in FS2000...Patch #2B should be Installed
These are available from microsoft.com and SurClaro
plus other Flightsim sites on the Net.
To install: UnZip to your FS98 or FS2000\AIRCRAFT Folder using
WinZip or similar program making sure the paths option
(Use Subfolders) is turned on.
Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
and go flying.
I can recommend a not very huge, but still complete set
of sounds named: SAABJB03.zip (or later), by Jens Borgstroem.
Originally created for his SAAB340B and S2000 aeroplanes, but
very suitable for Shorts Aircraft as well.
Download from either my homepage (see above) or SurClaro.
This aircraft was created by me using AF99 by Abacus Software
and consists of 3D animated control surfaces, and landing gear.
It also has Moving Props and operating Landing Lights Added
using "Aircraft Animator comml ver 1. 2e comml".
FYI, to operate the lights - press CTRL L to turn them on or
off. At night you can see them illuminating runway. (FS98 Only)
NOTAM: FS2000 does NOT Support FS98 Night lighting or
AA Landing Light Beams.
To operate the Steerable Nosewheel use your RUDDER Controls.
To operate the Rear Ramp use the spoiler key.
NOTAM: The Ramp is normally OPEN at startup, Close the
Ramp before Taxi or Takeoff.
Also Operational Nav Lights and Strobes, Flaperon counterweights
and 5 bladed Props shown at engines off.
