[RUTAN Q1 QUICKIE VERSION 2]
Thanks for downloading my rendition of the Rutan Quickie for FSX. This version corrects a material issue, allows for the prop blades to be textured, and now includes night lighting.
If you already have the original version allow this one to replace files as needed.
Installation is accomplished by placing the 'Quickie' folder in the SimObjects/Airplanes folder, the effects files (.fx) in the Effects folder, and placing the included font file whereever the stock fonts live for your OS. I use WinXP, and my fonts are found in the root Windows folder...Windows/Fonts. The font is for the radio display.

[NOTES]
To toggle the pilot in / out of the plane click on the engine controls housing.
To toggle the pilot's sunglasses on or off click on the left armrest cushion.
The original Quickie used an 18hp Onan generator engine. My version was modeled after a real one using a two-stroke 50 hp Rotax. There is no internal oil system, so there are no gauges for oil pressure or oil temperature.
The high idle RPM is based on what I found researching the Rotax 503 specs.
The prop rotates in the opposite direction, which is correct for this engine.
The flight model is somewhat close. Canard configurations are not really modeled well in FS, and I decided not to spend a huge amount of time trying to get the stall characteristics correct.
The prop does NOT use the 'traditional' blur texture. In real life you would see it as I modeled it.
While there is an engine start effect you will note there is no smoke during startup. That is intentional.

[CREDITS]
Many thanks to Micheal Flahault for allowing me to pillage his MiniMax config & air files to use as a start for the Quickie flight dynamics, Ed Wells for testing Version 2, and the gang at Sim-Outhouse for all the support.

I hope that you enjoy flying the Quickie!

I discovered why no sound. Check the Q key. All is good.
