    already existing files.)


02 ABOUT THIS PLANE
-------------------

In 1996 the theme of the International Air Tatoo in Fairford was Seasearch.
This gave me possibility to take a few good pics of the Orion and the Nimrod.
So it was just a question, which plane to build first. The Orion won because
I had a break of some months, during which I thought I had lost some of my
techniques, which will be necessary to create a very realistic Nimrod. I
would also like to make the new future Nimrod 2000, of which I have no data
in the moment.

On all my pictures of Dutch Orions I couldn't find a registration number. So
the plane has no registration. The file name contains now the operator MLD
instead of the registration. The flight character is extremly nice, although
this where the values I first entered. Even the conversed plane for FS95
flies and handles very well.
The engines may be a little overpowered. I did not know how to calculate
thrust from Whp so this may be a bit too much but it gives the right take off
distances together with all the other parameters, which I don't want to
change, after beeing so satisfactory.


03 INSTALLATION
---------------

- copy *.pcx to your AF5\designname directory
- copy *AFX.afx to your AF5\designname directory
