PANEL & SOUNDS
As is our usual practice, we have included a fully functional
default (non turbo-prop) panel and sounds set. This keeps the file size small
and reduces download time.
There are many excellent Dash-8 panels available for free
download on flight sim web sites.
We 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 DASH-8s as well.
Download from either PAD homepage (see above) or SurClaro.

NOTAM: FS2000 does NOT Support AA Landing Lights.
