FSX Vickers Viscount

Version 1.0 March 2011. 

This is a native-format model for FSX; FS2004 users should download 
Viscount_10.zip instead.

By Jens B. Kristensen.

A completely new model of the Vickers Viscount, famous as the first turboprop
airliner and a huge success all over the world. 

This package covers the Viscount 700, 700D, 800 and 810 with textures for BEA, 
Air France, KLM, TCA, Capital,United, Continental and several others.
 
For more details and flying instructions, please see the 
pdf document installed in the JBK Vickers Viscound 700D\Documentation folder.

*To install for Flight Simulator X:

Just run the included setup program. 

----

Sounds: 

The stock King Air sounds are used, you can install other sounds for the 
model if you wish.


----

Gauges: 

The gauges are to some extent based on default gauges of Flight 
Simulator FSX or FS2004, most of them modified by me. 
Other gauges are by myself.

The ILS indicator is based on xml code by 
Saviero Maurri (Vickers Varsity panel), bitmaps by me. 

A number gauges (mostly switches) are, with permission from
Tom Gibson, www.calclassic.com, based on work by Tom himself, 
Kevin Trinkle, Ernie Kennedy and Ken 'Mitch' Mitchell. 

Finally, a big 'thank you' to Hans-Joerg Naegele, who gave 
me permission to use gauges from his Lockheed 049 Constellation 
panel (VNConnie049.cab), directly or modified. 

----

This plane was made with FSDS 3.5.1 and FsdsXtweak by Dave Nunez, 
the textures with Paint Shop Pro DxtBmp and Imagetool.

It is freeware and must stay that way.

I hope you like flying the Viking!
