Installation instructions for Bombardier Global Express XRS.

This has been a continuing 2 year program, with constant update and improvements to the current status. There are probably som minor cosmetic issues externally as well as internally but I cannot correct those as hard as I have tried.

The installation is straight forward as most other manual installations:

1. Unzip the file to your ..\FSX installation path. All folders and files will automatically be placed where they belong...

This model includes both a 4:3 (standard) 2d panel and a 16:9 (1680x1050) wide-screen 2d panel. By default, the aircraft.cfg is set up to use the "ws" (wide-screen) 2d panel.

If you need to use the 4:3 panel, please open the aircraft.cfg file and change:

panel=ws

to

panel.43 for every livery variation, and save your changes.

Included are Checklists and Reference html documents for use with the Kneepad.

Global Express XRS PANEL.pdf (and the original FSX Global Express XRS PANEL.doc file) is included which explains all the functions of the control panels.

A virtual cockpit is included with all panels working as noted in the manual.

The exit.0 is the passenger enty airstair, the exit.1 is the cargo door (baggage) left side forward of engine 1, exit.2 is the RH emergency overwing exit, and exit.3 is the far aft APU door. The RH overwing emergency exit is technically a manually operated exit but for the sake of the sim I made it operate in and then rotate forward of the interior rh ledge to stow when open.

A separate upload will be the external paintkit, so individuals can paint their own paint scheme as desired. I will not include the internal.
