Hi, folks!

As announced in the "Beaver Creek" thread, here comes the ISDT ATR42-300 in First Air colours:

Base aircraft available here:

This aircraft seems a little nervous to me around the pitch axis and the elevator trim, so here's my suggestion for the aircraft.cfg entry:

[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=1.00000
pitch_stability=1.20000
roll_stability=1.00000
yaw_stability=1.00000
parasite_drag_scalar=1.00000
induced_drag_scalar=1.00000
elevator_effectiveness=1.00000
aileron_effectiveness=1.00000
rudder_effectiveness=1.00000
elevator_trim_effectiveness=0.80000
aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.00000
rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.00000
hi_alpha_on_roll=1.00000
hi_alpha_on_yaw=1.00000
p_factor_on_yaw=1.00000
torque_on_roll=1.00000
gyro_precession_on_roll=1.00000
gyro_precession_on_yaw=1.00000

Owners of the Shockwave 3D lights may use these values:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0 = 3, 2.05, -38.88, 5.45, fx_shockwave_navred ,
light.1 = 3, 2.05, 38.88, 5.45, fx_shockwave_navgre ,
light.3 = 2, 2.05, -38.88, 5.45, fx_shockwave_strobe_2 ,
light.4 = 2, 2.05, 38.88, 5.45, fx_shockwave_strobe_3 ,
light.5 = 1, -39.85, 0.00, 18.90, fx_beacon ,
light.6 = 2, 1.1, 0.00, -6.40, fx_shockwave_strobe ,
light.7 = 3, -40.25, 0.00, 2.05, fx_navwhi ,
light.8 = 4, 22.212, 0, 0.610, fx_vclight,
light.9 = 4, -17.870, 0, 0.710, fx_vclight, //main exit
light.10 = 4, 27.71, 0.00, 0.610, fx_vclight, //flightdeck


Just uploading...

Cheers,

Has anyone encountered problems opening the included readme file?
I just received a message by AVSIM:

Dear AVSIM Contributor:

We regret to inform you that your file(s) uploaded to AVSIM Online have
been rejected, effective Sunday, September 26, 2010. The rejections were
based upon the following:

• The readme txt file is unreadable. It consists completely of the
following example.

Textfile reads well in the editor here...

Cheers,

Thank you Markus very much. Just what the Dr ordered for the first Air run to Fort Simpson to Whitehorse.
