INSTALLATION

1. Open the aircraft folder and copy the dh80am folder to your FSX/Airplanes folder.

2. Open the effects folder and copy the two effects to your FSX/effects folder.

The following must be read to ensure understanding of some of the features and options.

NOTES:

I changed the manufacturer to de Havilland Melrose to differentiate the race setup from the standard setup.

FEATURES:

Wing Folding for storage requires the wing fold command setup in the FSX/Display/Assignments

Yoke Appear/Disappear: Slash key (spoilers)

Open left door: Shift-E-1
Open left door window: Shift-E-3
Open right door: Shift-E-2
Open right door window: Shift-E-4

Flaps: The DH.80a had no flaps but used airbrakes (activated by the flap key) providing drag by turning the upper and lower gear struts crossways to the wind.

OPTIONS:

1. I provided many tank options in the aircraft.cfg for mileage ranges stated. Simply comment out the default and uncomment out the desired tankage.

2. The aircraft.cfg contact points section has two tailwheel setups; one castering, one steerable (default). Select the one you wish and comment out the other.

I hope this helps.
