This is an update for FSX of the Edgley Optica by Craig Richardson. I have given it a 2D panel from a picture I took of the VC.  I added scrape points and adjusted the wheels; changed the size and position of the GPS; added windows for the radios and a hud; and I updated the flight dynamics.  Model does not work in FS9.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft folder to the main FS airplanes folder.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=58.00 
full_flaps_stall_speed=48.00 
cruise_speed=94.00				//knots indicated.  (105 knots over the ground at 7,000 ft.)
max_indicated_speed     =142.00
max_mach=1.00

You can fly at any altitude you choose, and set the throttle at 21 to 22 hundred rpm to have a reasonable cruise speed.  The actual speed over the ground will depend on the wind speed and direction, plus the altitude you are at.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
