Thanks for downloading this plane!
Pilatus's 21st century follow-up to their world famous PC-7,PC-9 series of turboprop trainers. Small highly loaded wing, spoilers, lots of power, and jet-like controls help the PC-21 better simulate jet performance at a turboprop price.
Installation:
Delete any prior editions of my PC-21.
Copy the PC-21 Folder over to your FS2004 aircraft folder. Open the gauge folder, and copy the gauges to your Fs2004 gauges folder. It's OK to overwrite if asked.
NOTAMS:
Copy the GaugeSound.dll file over to your FS2004 main folder. This file will prevent the plane files from crashing FS.
Copy the pc21_00, pc-21_0, pc21_02, and pc21_glass textures from the Texture Folder to both the Texture.test Folder and the Texture.02 Folder
The HUD at present is empty. If you find some decent/cool HUD gauges, just put them in the panel .cfg file. The model and panel.cfg have built-in support for HUD gauges. Look for window 04 and vc panel 08. And let me know, so I can have fun too.
Flying the PC-21.
No special skills or knowledge are needed to fly the PC-21. Due to the small wing, sink rates will be steeper than a PC-9, or other same size/weight aircraft, so be alert. A light touch on the stick is all you need.
In FS2004's Realism Menu, disable prop torque to simulate the PC-21's torque compensation system.

This aircraft was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards. I don't mind constructive comments, or how-to's, but "This Sucks!" type e-mails will be ignored. As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(see below), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.
Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others. MAKE SURE YOU READ AND ABIDE BY THIS, !!!
I only upload to SurClaro, and Sim-Outhouse.com., and sometimes SurClaro.com If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e=mail addy
I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck, and have Fun!
