           Special Thanks to Jens Borgstroem (Duckling Air) for creating
           the Flight Dynamics for this Aircraft.

           Duckling Air is a Virtual Airline and Aircraft Factory on the
           Internet.

         NOTAM: This aircraft is in FS6.1 (FS98) Format
         The FSCONV98.EXE and FS98PAT1.EXE Programs
         MUST be installed to FS98.

        These are available from microsoft.com and flightsim.com
        plus other Flightsim sites on the Net. 
     
        To install: UnZip to a tempory directory and
        run the install program..You will be asked
        to enter the path to your FS98 or FS2000\
        Aircraft directory..Just update the default path
        (which is the one I use) to yours.

        Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
        and go flying.
        I can recommend a not very huge, but still complete set
        of sounds named: SAABJB03.zip (or later), by Jens Borgstroem.
        Originally created for his SAAB340B and S2000 aeroplanes, but
        very suitable for DASH8s aswell.
        Download from either my homepage (see above) or Flightsim.com. 


        This aircraft was created by me using AF99 by Abacus Software
        and consists of a.o. 12 point round fuselage and 3D parts,
        animated control surfaces, moving spoilers and landing gear.
        It also has Moving Props and operating Landing Lights Added
        using "Aircraft Animator". ver3 adds a steerable nose wheel,
        new engines, LG Struts, Updated Textures.

        FYI, to operate the lights - press CTRL L to turn them on or
        off. At night you can see them illuminating runway.

        Landing light only operate in FS98..FS2000 does not
        support them.

        Furthermore: Operational Nav Lights and Strobes.
                     Night Lighting seen in cabin windows and 4 bladed
                     Props shown at engines off.
                     Special Amber coloured landing light mounted on
                     top of nose when gear down.
