FSX RE-2005

The keen bombing of the 'Officine Reggiane' by the allied superior forces, suddenly stopped the production of this fascinating plane. Only 38 were built. In the few combats, the allied pilots started to fear this new 'star' in southern Italian skies, since this plane could easily compete with the best. Soon everything stopped, no more technicians, special materials and spare parts. This model features highly reflective metallic skin and full animations. The panel background has been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic material found on the net. Most of the gauges have been created by the authors, some are default gauges. Included is a simple virtual cockpit, with working essential flight instruments and animated flight controls. By Giovanni Quai and Italo D'Attomo.

Model dedicated to: Capt. Paolo Quai.

FOREWORD:

The keen bombing of the 'Officine Reggiane' by the allied superior forces, suddenly stopped the production of this fascinating plane. Only 38 were built (8 for Luftwaffe ...the german pilots loved it). In the few combats, the allied pilots started to fear this new 'star' in southern italian skies, since this plane could easily compete with the best.
Soon everything stopped, no more technicians, special materials and spare parts. The remaining few planes were put on fire by the withdrawing italian troops to avoid the capture by the advancing anglo-american troops.

This model features highly reflective metallic skin and full animations. The panel background has been created entirely from scratch, based on photographic material found on the net. Most of the gauges have been created by the authors, some are default gauges. Included in this model there is also a simple Virtual Cockpit, with working essential flight instruments and animated flight controls.

INSTALLATION:

Unzip this file into your FlightSimulatorX\SimObjects\airplanes folder and you will find the "RE_2005" folder with the usual subfolders, including a 'GougeSound.dll' then operate as follows:

Copy the enclosed 'GougeSound.dll' than Paste it in your main FlightSimulator X folder (if you don't have it yet).

We think this should be the end of the installation procedure.

...Many happy landings!

TIPS:

To open the gun compartement, please toggle Wing Fold Key.
The 'Re_2005' did not carry autopilot, anyway an Autopilot is available in basic functions using 'Z' key.

FSX: Flying in 2D cockpit please use Ctrl + Q to move down the Eyepoint view ...
(Ctrl + shift + Q does the opposite)

FS 2004: You will find this plane listed in the Aircraft Manufacturer as "Officine Reggiane".

FS 2004: Flying in 2D cockpit please check your Key assignments to move up/down the Eyepoint view.

NOTES:

We installed, succesfully, this model on our FSX original and FSX Deluxe Edition plus SP1 , in airplanes folder without installers, simply following the above procedure. Simmers running Sp2 or accelerators might encounter some not desired effects.

Note 1: Loading the aircraft for the first time you will get an 'unknown author' message for each of our gauges (32). Click 'YES' if you like our gauges or 'NO' if you don't. If you say 'NO' you will not have our instruments displayed on the panel, except the default ones.

Note 2: You will get a second message asking you to "trust" the related gauge; if you "trust" it and say "Yes" when asked, you will never be asked again.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BOTH MESSAGES .

Note 3: If you want to see a different panel, copy or aliase a panel of a single engine prop of your choice (in these case the VC will not be shown correctly) or create a panel by yourself.

Note 4: Installing & using this package is at your own risk.

Note 5: Settings\Display\Graphics; selecting ''Light_Bloom'' check box, in the global options window, might not be compatible with our model and the selected plane may not appear.

P.S. more complete free aircrafts from the above authors may be found in 'flightsim.com'. Just write one of the authors' names in the 'search for text' box.
