-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Included in this archive you'll find the follwing files:

      DO328LSA.0AF - DO328LSA.8AF  (texture files)
      DO328LSA.AIR (flight model)
      DO328LSA.TXT (you're reading it)
      FILE_ID.DIZ (archive description for BBS placement)


Installation:
      copy all D328LSA.xAF files into your Fs5\Texture directory
      copy DO328LSA.AIR into your Fs5\Pilots directory

Enhancements in this version 4:

- Take-off speed and runway length could be reduced.
  Thanks to all pilots, who gave us helpful comments.
  We apologize for the serious troubles they had on short fields.

- Better responding to the autopilot in climbs, descents and even
  ILS-approachs.

- Better climbing especially from FL 150 to 310

- Cruise speed of 335 kts at 25000 ft can be achieved with 82% Fan (N2)
  (Do not try to fly with 100% for longer periods)
- Most of all, this could (only?) be done, because we have changed to
  the "jet-powered" flight model!

We recommend to use one of the great 2-engine jet-panels, available in
the various nets.

Upside down flying is now possible without engine stop (prop versions at
higher reality degrees)

Special thanks to Jan Visser who gave us great hints in aircraft design.
