GEAR
- Fully working, moving oleos and COMPRESSING
hydraulic gear system.
- Gear will visually depress on landing and
aircraft will visibly ROCK AND ROLL on its own suspension and shock
absorbers!
- Suspension is NOW modelled to compress AND ROLL
like the real thing! No more fast taxi turns!
- Gear retracts and shows accurate movement of the
gear arms and assemblies.
- TTextured gear arms feature retraction actuators,
cardian lugs, piston rods that SMOOTHLY-retract into their cases on
landing providing a NEW shock absorber effect.
- Detail also shows lower side stays, folding drag
struts and shock absorber strokes and brake torque flanges.
- Wheels show interiors and exteriors, rim and hub
details, including wheel nuts and hydraulic brake cylinders.
- Front nose wheel features nose wheel steering,
moving nose wheel also features suspension with retraction breaker
strut, Y-shape leg, hydraulic steering cylinder, oleo shock strut
and torque link.
- Ribbed-tread tyres are covered with close-up
(three feet) photos of real wheels!
- Front gear also shows landing light mounts, nuts
and housing which moves with the lower nose wheel assembly, casting
light on the direction of travel.

FLAPS
- Inboard, outboard and main flap (and hinge)
detail with accurate curved movements and speed deployments.
- Fowler flap with tab hinge line.
Inboard Kreuger flap sets on 1 degree deployment.
- Fully detailed inboards and high detail, textured
inner housing and assembly with struts and edges.
- Main Flaps include detailed textures of anchor
bearing and gearbox mounts, modelled carriage and track roller and
mounts and rivet detail.
Modelling of gates and bars, textured side details show action of,
and curve movement through, 1/2/5/10/15/25/30/40 settings.
- Accurate and detailed modelling of flap inner
fuselage mounts with all 'see-under-and-through' detail faithfully
modelled.
- See-through areas feature rivet, flanges and
edges, flap gear and screw housings.
- Moveable flap-track fairings with trailing edge
aft sections.
|
SPOILERS
- Spoilers at front edge feature correct curved
movement and speed deployment.
- Carriage drive nuts and spoiler drive screws,
shafts and cams.
- Variable-speed spoiler flaps (flaps kick in at
deploy points with different, delayed timings).
- Auto-flap deployment of spoiler-brake system,
upon landing and activation of "arm spoilers" key.
- Spoiler flaps feature detailed texturing and
struts and hinges with detailedtextured, housing areas inside.
- Roll spoilers deploy accurately on rolls with
detailed inner housings (check 300 variable mdl version for more
accuracy or more eye-candy).
|
ENGINES
- Accurate, cantilevered design; characteristic of
the CFM56, flat-bottomed engines.
- "Gravel Kit" vortex displacer modelling from
outer to inner mouldings.
- Ccentre-spinning fan textures, inlet cone detail,
fancase and compressor housing, drain masts and shoulder cowlings.
- 'Three-stage' engine detail at rear; including
nozzles, cowls, cowl covers, inner rear nacelles and rear core jet
pipe mixer/ejectors.
- Thrust reversers with SMOOTH_OUT animated,
reverse thrust deployment.
- Engines feature rivet detail on some models round
front nacelle.
- Texturing also includes engine painting, all
logos, warnings, labels and stamps, inlets and edges.

WINGS, AILERONS, ELEVATORS AND
TAIL FIN
- Accurate textures show wind and rain bleed
points, air flow and general, relevant wear and tear.
- Metal and painted edges, engine mounts and struts
with textured strut detailing.
- Trailing edge and spoiler anchorage.
- Over wing fuel filler caps, inspection plates and
centre line spines.
- Hydraulic actuators, tab hinge lines and aileron
hinges.
- Accurate wing shape with curved surfaces.
- Aileron features servo and trim tab texturing and
horn balances.
- Static discharge wicks on fin and ailerons.
- Rudder movement assembly features top and centre
rudder detail including centre and top recessed tab hinges.
- Fin shows leading edge heaters and fairing panels
with static pylons and wicks at back edges.
- Texturing also features 'no-step' areas with wear
FX.
|
CABIN
- Window detail shows upper windows with INSET
frame detail and REFELCTIVE glazing with passengers who can be seen
on inside of the cabin.
- Cabin interior with see-through windows and
dash/fascia detail LIGHTS UP AT NIGHT and is VARIED DEP ON TYPE OF
AIRCRAFT OPERATING RETRO OR STANDARD 'PITS'.
- Instrumentation face lit at night with subtle
gauge light FX.
- Rear door and cabin wall can be seen from front
of aircraft through glass on the inside.
- An 'international crew' is featured with Captain
and First Officer in uniform.
- All liveries are "as is" laid and textured from
real photographs, retouched by hand for each airframe.
|
FUSELAGE
- Moulded fuselage 'Boeing shape' with
characteristic nose and side window shapes.
- Texturing of windows with glass FX that lights
intermittently at night with some-down, some-up, shutter details.
- Edge of window with rubber sealing edges, rivets
and folds with lap joins.
- Rear detail shows APU intake, rear APU exhaust.
- Aircraft numbers and door handle and window
detail.
- Front detail shows windows with rivet detail on
frames.
- Modelled wipers, antennae, stall warning vane and
pitot head.
- Radome air temperature probe and static air
pressure plate.
- VHF/HF aerials, front gear doors and under doors
with door edges - !!!PORT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES SLOWLY AND IS TIMED
TO WORK WITH STAIRS!!!JUST LIKE THE REAL THING!!!
- Wing to fuselage fairings, skin lap joints and
finger recesses on doors and discharge valves.
