ATR42-500 for FLY! II    MAC et PC

TO BE USED ONLY WITH FLY ! II

by Jean SABATIER (ROTW)
June 2005
version 5.1 (february 2006)
==================================================

-------------------------------
Product description
-------------------------------

Version 5.1 has the following modifications from version 5
- new ATR42500.AMP to solve transponder exchange with IVAO

Version 5 has the following modifications from version 4

-Steering efficiency controlled by ground speed. Steering is less efficient when aircraft speed up.
-Flap effects are less effective. Reduce the balooning/plunging effect when flaps are deployed 
 or retracted.
-Automatic take over of the auxillary hydraulic pump when on and the blue pump fails (like in the 
 real ATR)
-Hydraulic pump activated from the pedestral button runs 30 seconds to supply enough hyd power for 
 starting the hotel mode.
-Wild AC power (prop alternators) is enable only when conditioners are above 40% (like the real ATR).
-New transponder providing display of various modes (ON, STDBY, TEST,...)
-More reverse power to stop aircraft at landing
-ATR appears now in the Turbo Prop section of the aircraft menu.
-Belly landing is now possible. Ground drag has been added for this purpose.
-Bug that crashes to desktop when FAST CESCENT is switched has been fixed
-The bitmap ATRimmat.pbg (106*22) shows the aircraft immat on the main panel and 
 is to be replaced for new registration.

Installation
------------------

unzip the aircraft files in the AIRCRAFT directory.
There are 3 CKL files for the startup.
	-ATR42500.CKL included in the POD is the normal file. The E key will start the 
		aircraft step by step.
	-QuickATR42500.CKL will start the aircraft quickly without a detailled procedure.
	-ManualATR42500.CKL will inhibit the E key.  You have to start all by hand. 
You may put one of this 2 latter files into the WORD directory and rename it ATR42500 so it will
replace the standard file included in the POD.

*	CONTRIBUTIONS
*	Well, this aircraft have been started a long time ago by Jean Baruch and Sebastien
*	Meyzaud from pictures taken by TJ.  They draw the panels and connected it with the 
*	internal Kingair.  It then stayed dormant a long time.
*	Last year (2004) Bruno from ROTW handed me the ATR manual, and I was ready to launch
*	myself into the job.  I did the 3D model first, then fight my way up into the aircraft
*	inner systems during 8 months (and some nights), and here it is.
*	This aircraft incorporates a lot of new features (among them a talking GPWS), all of
*	them created from the standard FLY objects, without a single DLL.  I was able to get
*	GPWS sounds from an internet site with no name associated, and I tank whoever put it 
*	there for free.
*	External paint was done by Leen "Flybike" de Jager (ROTW).
*	Tests where conducted by members of ROTW: Azzurro, Gilles Guesnel, Frédéric Mouflin.
*	We also where very lucky to have Vincent Carret,a real ATR captain pilot for the final 
*	tests. 
*	So it is essentially a team work.
*	Enjoy it

Restriction about the Hotel Mode:
Hotel mode replace the APU.  Hotel mode is entered when the following conditions are met:

-Aircraft on ground
-Condition level on FTR
-Blue hydraulic pressure ON (activated by the pedestral button)

The ready light becomes alighted on the upper panel.
You can then engage the propeller brake on engine 2.  The right generator and alternator supply DC
and AC current.

The only thing that cannot be simulated with FLY! is the stopping of the propeller while engine is
running.
