                      Vickers Viscount for FS98
   


        Dave McQueen and Tom Gibson present to you  Aer Lingus'
        Vickers Viscount 707 for Flight Simulator 98. An all new
        simulation, it was manufactured in December, 1997. It has
        landing lights and turbo-prop sounds that may be used with
        other converted aircraft by editing the sound.cfg in the
        sound directories for those aircraft.

        Note for panel makers, or would-be panel makers for FS98
        conversions:
                No instrument panel currently exists for the Viscount. If
                anyone out there would like take on a project and fashion one
                it would be very much appreciated.

This simulation is FREEWARE. Don't pay money for it
**********************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Unzip the VC700.ZIP into your FS98 Aircraft directory using a program
such as Winzip (recommended). I.E. If your Flight Sim 98 program is located
on the c:\ drive under FS98, then unzip to: c:\fs98\aircraft\vc700

The program does not require conversion in the converter. Don't convert it!

However. You must have installed  Microsoft's converter in order to see
an instrument panel. If you do not have the converter you may get it at:
 Microsoft's game site at: http://www.microsoft.com/games/fsim/downloads.htm


 FS5.1 versions are available from IUP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Viscount sim flies like a truck, banks very slowly and has a high approach
speed. You will need practice to land this airplane successfully. Flight dynamics for this simulation were tweaked from those made by
Wilber Williams and Ross Gridley in their Viscount 700/700D projects.

   The Viscount 800 series was initiated in 1952 when an uprated Dart
   turboprop became available. It was 4 feet longer than its model 700
   older brother. The main visual difference besides the lengthened
   fuselage was the use of rectangular doors over the oval ones on the
   700s. The 810 series that this sim is modeled after was the last
   development in the series. They had a max cruise speed of 365mph
   (587kmh), 30 mph faster than the 700.  Continental was first to order
   the 810 in 1955 as model 812. They bought 15 examples. Other users
   included South African, Lufthansa, Tran Australian, Cubana, VASP,
   All Nippon, and Ansett-ANA.

Designing this aircraft was a lot of work,  but we did it just for the fun
of it. Feel free to share the Viscount files with your friends, but don't
sell them and don't pretend that you've made them.

Happy flying ...
