This is an update for FSX acceleration of the Dornier Seastar by Mike Stone. I have updated the flight dynamics so it works in FSX. This is the whole aircraft. No virtual cockpit.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. Copy the aircraft folder to the airplanes folder. Copy the effect to the main FS effects folder, no need to overwrite if already there.

The main thing to note about this aircraft is that it needs major up trim anytime you add large amounts of throttle. This is because the engines average 7 feet above the datum point. The aircraft will come to a stop on water without using reverse thrust or without changing the engines to slow idle; but using either, or both, will have it stop faster.

Flipping the nav light switch off and back on will turn the panel lights on.

See [reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg file for operating speeds.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.

Bob Chicilo.
