Installation:

• Extract the zip to a temporary folder or open it in Windows Explorer.
• Copy the three folders Effects, Sound, and SimObjects to your "Flight Simulator X" folder.

Notes:

For detailed flying tips, the official Basler leaflet on the BT-67, a Polar 5 flyer of the Alfred Wegener Institute, and instructions on how to operate the Garmins consult the PDFs and DOCs in subfolder "Documentation" - "Flying the BT- 67 in FSX.pdf", "Basler_BT-67_Brochure.pdf", "AWI_Polar5.pdf".

VC switches usually act on both left and right clicks. Side windows, upper window, sunshade, pilot's yoke, overhead spotlights, call sign, wipers, and pilot's clipboard are clickable and functional - go ahead and see what they do.

When operating the Garmins, use left/right clicks on ON/OFF knob to decrease/increase display brightness. Similarly, use left/right clicks to scroll through multiple pages. Generally, right=next and left=previous.

While this model has no main 2D panel as such, there is a Fuel and Payload popup, a Control Panel popup, and a Fuel System Control popup. Display proportions and legibility of these windows depend on the size of your monitor. The release default setting assumes a 16:9 monitor, but you can adjust this by activating one of the alternatives provided in the panel.cfg.

The VC throttle, propeller and condition levers can be linked by middle- clicking any one of them. To unlink, middle-click again.

When troubleshooting engine problems, check gauges on the "Control Panel" popup and consult Appendix E of the Manual for error messages and tips.

When operating the ski model on the ground do not be alarmed if the skis scrape along hard surfaces producing sparks, it is an expected effect. Note, too, that when you land the ski model on a snow-covered surface, your brakes will be inop. Use prop reversing (F2) instead, checking gauges and/or the visual appearance of the prop discs to verify that the effect is taking hold.
