This is an update for FSX acceleration of the Alphasim F-3D Skyknight. I have updated the flight dynamics, adjusted the scrape points, added a few gauges to the panels, changed the GPS, made the autopilot bigger, and added the fourth wheel. There is a working virtual cockpit. This is the whole aircraft.

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

If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have them, to the main FS gauges folder. For some the .cab files will be .zip files as .cab files are a type of .zip file.

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

This aircraft can only reach and hold 37,000 ft.; over that it looses speed and stalls. This is close to the specifications I have. It is best to climb to altitude at full throttle while climbing on autopilot, otherwise you might stall before reaching 33,000 ft.

Even though I cut the internal fuel by about half, the aircraft has more range than it is supposed to. This is probably because I cut fuel consumption from 2.35 to 1.00.

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.
