Premier Aircraft Design - Dec  2003

DeHavilland Dash8-100 / 200 for FS2004 and FS2002 Pro
The Default MS Dash8 Remapped in Gmax by Udo Lemmob
Concept, Flight Model, HTML Check/Ref list by Barry Blaisdell
Master Textures & Livery by Bob May

NOTAMS:  
======================================

* This model was originally included in FS2002 and FS2004 only as an AI aircraft
and some of the parts are not modelled as precisely as on other default aircraft.
But it's still a good looking model and we thought it worth the trouble of re-mapping
the textures so that liveries can be displayed properly on both sides of the fuselage and tail.
The wings and engines are not re-mapped so it's not possible to add lettering to
those parts.

* To raise your seat higher press SHIFT-ENTER
                      
* In FS2004 trim elevator DOWN before take off.
 [ In FS2002 the trim seems to be OK.]

* The running propellers display best when the prop pitch is reduced a little bit

* Shift E +2 will open the Cargo door

* Premier Aircraft Design will be adding a custom made panel to this aircraft in the near future.

* Keep checking with www.flightsimnetwork.com/premaircraft for updates and additional liveries.
