What's Included?
This model comes equipped with a fully operational G1000 PDF, MDF and remote system which has everything you need from engine displays and brightness controls to the volume of gallons used. We have included a full autopilot system as well, that comes equipped with VNAV features which are close to the real world operations. This means that your autopilot process can feel more authentic than ever with every possible function ready for your usage.
Likewise, this also includes authentic gear operation styles that do a great job of offering a better style of control over the aircraft. Add in the amazing night light effects and landing lights as well and you will soon find it much easier to navigate landings with your aircraft.
This is designed to give you a much fresher level of performance from your aircraft as well as ensure that you are on the right track even during the most challenging of flights thanks to the addition of so many useful screens - both 2D and 3D - for your own reference.
Now, flying this model is much easier than ever before. However, its level of control and authenticity is only matched by the immense level of detail and control which has been included on the model itself.
By using 2048 textures that work perfectly with the models included, this does the best job possible of representing the attention to detail and the realism of the aircraft itself. With bonus features included in the design that does wonders for the aesthetics of the aircraft, this is further backed up by the addition of wonderful sound packages that carry the authenticity of the aircraft even further than ever before.
Another extra feature which has been included to the delight of many users has been the addition of the G1000 screens alongside new specs, features and even a fresh service hanger to give you total control over the flight format and the control it emits.
Re-fueling change pilot models or even night lighting is made easier than ever to do during the hanger mode, letting you repair the aircraft and manage the whole process before taking off.
Also, the prop scrape effect has been added in to make sure that your aircraft can take damage. It's these little features that all come together and make the whole system feel fresh, exciting and interesting beyond belief.

I know it's a bit late from Danielle's post, but they issued a patch to adapt the .cfg file for rudder steering. Apparently they had designed the model initially to respond to toe brakes on a full simulator setup.

This aircraft is straight awesome. Love the little touches like the fogging windscreen if the temp controls aren't adjusted properly!

Everything seems to work except for steering on the ground. I get minimal steering and am unable to taxi.
