To properly run the PC simulation version 3 with a joystick, the Joy stick Manager dialog should be called from the program to set up the joysticks Column, Wheel and pedal to +/- 100  

 

 

The set up and install has been designed to install this version 3 along side an existing PC simulation in such a way that it should not change the original PC simulation. However, only one version of the PC simulation can run at any one  time.

 

 

RDDMI instrument added

Clock more accurately represented

UTC, Elapsed Time and Stop watch  added  

Same display system model as A330 PC Version 3

Changes to the modeling of the 3 DMCs
