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 +/-
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 |
