FS98 !!!! ****************** ****************************************************************************** d328panv3.txt d328panv3.zip We recommend to use the great panel of Alex Yanes (D328PANV3.ZIP) for FS98 (get it from any search engine (www.avsim.com, www.compuflight.com/iup/) which refers to ftp.flight-sim.iup.edu). As a sound set we recommend sounds which are similar to the Airbus A320 as long as there are no special 328JET sounds available. The A320 sounds very similar to the real 328JET. Special thanks to Jan Visser who gave us great hints in aircraft design. All was only possible with the great tool of IAN J. DONOHOE "ADE98 DE LUXE" and "ADE32". Special thanks IAN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== FAIRCHILD DORNIER 328JET ===== Program launch announced on February 1997 Media roll-out on 6 December 1997 First flight on 20 January 1998 in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich, Germany Public "Premiere" on 4 February 1998 Static and fatigue tests in July 1998 Function and reliability flights in October 1998 JAA/FAA certicication in Feb./March 1999 Entry into services in March 1999 European launching customer: Proteus (Air France/Air Inter Express) American launching customer: Aspen Mountain Air Power plant : two PW306B turbofan engines, each 26,9 kN (6050 lbs) T/O power Accomodation: flight crew (2 pilots, 1 flight attendant) and 32 passengers (Europe) 34 passengers (USA) 10 passengers (Business Jet (BJ), now named Envoy 3) Cockpit : Honeywell Primus 2000 integrated five-tube EFIS system Dimensions : wing span : 20,98m length overall: 21,28m height overall: 7,24m Weights and loadings: operating weight empty: 9200 kg (20282 lbs) max. payload : 3410 kg (7518 lbs) max. take-off weight : 14990 kg (33047 lbs) (Europe) 15200 kg (33510 lbs) (USA + BJ) max. zero-fuel weight : 12610 kg (27800 lbs) max. landing weight : 14090 kg (31063 lbs) Total fuel capacity : 4490 litres (1186 US gallons) 3588 kg (7911 lbs) Performance at max.
