I'm always happy to recieve your feedback! 

This is a JETLINER YOKE CONTEST AIRPLANE

************
Introduction
************
First, thanks for downloading this and I hope you'll enjoy this A340 as much as I did designing it.

What this aircraft features
====================

(This is the first version and it will be updated and improved in later versions!)

- Accurate dimensions. 
- Many 3D parts.
- Full moving parts (Aileron , elevator, rudder, flaps and slats, landing gear,  nose wheel steering, engine fan)
- Accurate textures
- Night textures (to be improved)
- Realistic A340 flight dynamics.

What you can expect to see in a later version
==================================

- More sohpisticated night textures. (Because this A340 was built with FSDS, some of the more sohpisticated night texture fuctions such as switching on and off the fuselage flood lights, I have not been able to make use of due to the still limited knowledge of this new design program, but they are being worked on...)

- Transparent cockpit windows
- and more...

I'll also be doing A330's. But no release dates yet.

I recommend Roy Chaffin's A340 panel and Mike Hambly's A340 sound package to go with this aircraft.

Tips for using this aircraft
======================

- You MUST use 32bit colour in Flight Simulator 2000 to see this plane correctly. If you don't there will be a lot of flickering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Pause the simulation before switching views. This will save you A LOT of loading time.

Installation
=========

1. Go to  FS2000\aircraft and create a new folder. 
   
2. Unzip the contents of this  zip file into the new folder that you have created. 
    (make sure "use directory names" is selected)

3. End of installation

Remember:

*** You MUST use 32bit colour in Flight Simulator 2000 to see this plane correctly. If you don't there will be a lot of flickering.***
