FS98 !!!! ****************** ****************************************************************************** Enhancements in version 6.0: - better flight models for FS6 and FS98 - Landing lights for FS6 and FS98 (press Ctrl + L) (thanks to Siggy Schwarz) 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 of other similar size turboprop planes, like the ATR42 or the DeHavilland Dash8 available eg. from www.flightsim.com. 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" and "ADE32". Special thanks IAN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===== FAIRCHILD/DORNIER 328 ===== First flight on 6 December 1991 JAA certification on 15 October 1993 FAA certification on 10 November 1993 First delivery (Do328-100) was to Air Engiadina on 21 October 1993 Do328-110 JAA/FAA certification on 4 November 1994 Do328-120 JAA certification on March 1996 Power plant : two PW119B, each 1625 kW (2180 shp) T/O power (Do328-120: two PW119C each (1625 KW + 5 percent) T/O power) Propeller : 3,60m diameter six-blade, constant speed, reversible Accomodation: flight crew (2 pilots, 1 flight attendant) and 30-33 passengers 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: 8920 kg (19665 lb) max. payload : 3690 kg (8135 lb) max. baggage load : 750 kg (1653 lb) max. ramp weight : 14070 kg (31019 lb) max. take-off weight : 13990 kg (30842 lb) max. zero-fuel weight: 12610 kg (27800 lb) max. landing weight : 13230 kg (29167 lb) Total fuel capacity : 4291 litres (1134 US gallons) 3416 kg (7531 lb) Performance at max.
