AI-AARDVARK Embraer EMB-120 Quebecair express README

Thanks for downloading the AI-AARDVARK EMB-120 Brasilia

Description:  FS2004 AI Aardvark fictive Quebecair express EMB-120 Brasilia. I've painted as close to reality as possible. I've choosed this model for the simple reason that was no AI SAAB 340 available. This EMB-120 Brasilia was the closest model. Quebecair express operate over Quebecs skies. Enjoy! Designed especially for AI traffic. Features 5 LOD models and moving parts. Very detailed, includes animated gear, flaps, slats and spoilers, antennas, flap canoes, and simulated gear bays, & detailed paint. Extremely frame rate friendly. ****TEXTURES ONLY****

OTHER NOTES

This aircraft was designed specifically for use as an AI aircraft.  As such, the primary design criteria were that it look good sitting at the gate, or as seen when landing from an aircraft waiting to take off. 

This plane also uses 5 different LOD (levels of detail) models, which means that as the plane gets visually smaller, the model displayed becomes simpler and simpler, thus reducing the drag on your computer.  

If you download a GMAX aircraft that is just gorgeous, but really chews up your frame rates when used as AI if several of them appear on the screen at once, the designer probably did not use the LOD feature, so the model is always 20,000 polygons no matter how far away from you it is.

AI FLIGHT DYNAMICS

FDE's for AI aircraft are somewhat of a compromise.  Dynamics that allow beautiful takeoffs often result in planes that will not land or land very badly.  AIA fde's are also designed with traffic flow in mind.  This means an AIA aircraft is going to touch down very near the end of the runway and quickly exit to make room for the next aircraft.  If you want more "float" on landing, you can adjust the cruise lift, parasite drag and induced drag parameters in the aircraft.cfg file.

REPAINTS

Ai Aardvark hopes that you will want to repaint our planes and we have blank paintkit versions of our aircraft available.  The paintkit includes uncompressed .bmps of both the texture and light maps.  It also comes with a layered photoshop file that includes windows, doors, details, panel lines, shadows and weathering.  

DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSES REPAINT AS A BASIS FOR YOUR REPAINT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING PERMISSION FROM THE ORIGINAL PAINTER!!!
THIS INCLUDES AARDVARK REPAINTS.

We place no restrictions on where repaints are uploaded to, but we would like this readme to be included with all repaints.  If you would like your repaint listed on our website, please email us and let us know the name of the repaint and where it may be downloaded.    Email: ai_aardvark@earthlink.net
