How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Turning radius can be solved by going into the aircraft cfg file, look for [contact points], point 0, view over to the 7th field and change the setting to 55.92 ( I believe the original setting was 25 something), save the cfg file and you will be "good to go!"

    I also found the turn rate on the ground abysmal and I can't switch on autothrottle.

    Awesome plane but two things. It has an absolutely HORRIBLE turn rate when you taxi, and the autothrottle is broken.
