About real plane's history:

The L-410 is a 19 passenger, twin-engine turboprop powered, commuter, cargo and special missions
aircraft.It is ideally suited for short-haul flights from unimproved airfields although it is equally adept
at operating from traditional airport environments.
The L-410/L-420 family is flying in five continents. It‘s durable airframe and unique design offers ex-
ceptional performance both in the torrid desert heat of Africa and Latin America as well as the most
frigid  regions  of  the  world. The L 410 UVP-E aircraft and its derivative versions meet the NLGS-2,
JAR 25 or FAR 23  requirements.  Certifications have been obtained for operations all over the world
including  Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark, Germany, Chile,
India, Hungary, Kenya, the Philippines, RSA, Russian, Sweden, Ukraine, Venezuela,  the United Sta-
tes of America and other countries.
Simultaneously,  the L 410 environment friendly operation fully meets all FAR 36 and ICAO Annex 16
noise  certification requirements. No other planes better serves the short-haul transport necessities
in both developed and undeveloped regions of the world than the L 410. Operators around the globe
profitably  fly  the  L 410 in high number of applications. Over 1,100 L 410 aircraft were delivered to
Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

About FS model:

The project was started more than one year  ago and we had lot of problems during design but they
was successfully solved.  Now we would like to thank Peter "Joe" Topor  and all of Farnair Hungary's
employees for support our project with lot of photos, informations and much more.
For the best realism Bence used more than 15.000 polygons and he animated  all of  moving surfaces
and parts that he could do.  So you can sit - in virtual view - into thecockpit's seats,in the passen-
ger-section or in the glass-nose too!  When the painting work is startedthe exterior model isn't finis-
hed yet, so Tibor began his work with major parts, such as fuselage andthe wings.
Meantime, we searching a good gauge-programmer too.
The painting work is very difficult (but not so much as 3Dmodelling), because we have only one way
to  make  a  really good textures: we used 32-bit bitmaps with bigger file size. So please accept the
larger texture folder... :-(  But the surface is ready for DXT-textures, so if you want, you can put it.
A few months ago we met Jiri Masnik a Czech gauge-programmer (former of CVA Design), who pro-
mised  us  to  make good realistic gauges.  Unfortunatelly he can't finish this gauges yet because he
didn't  has  enough free time, but if these gauges will be done, we will release they immediatelly in a
patch.
You can find our L-410's forum at here!
 

Model summary:

The  model  of L-410 made with FSDS 2.24 and contained 15.871 poligons. All available surfaces are
animated  such  as  ailerons,  elevators, rudder, gears, cargo and passenger doors, arms and pedals.
Custom 2D panel and gauges, animated and working virtual cockpit. For the textures using CorelDraw
and  Photoshop.  Three  paint  scheme is available: one real life Hungarian paint as reg. HA-LAO, one
Czech LET factory version and one official paintscheme of Pannon WingsDesign Team.
Repaint kit is included too.
 

How to fly:

We  strongly  suggested  virtual view with 0.62 zoom during flight. You can open or close doors with
"Shift+E+1" and "Shift+E+2" (front and cargo) as default settings.  The cargo door's stair visible only
on the ground. If you pull out parking brakes by "Shift+." when the engines is fully stopped, more ad-
ditional features being appeared: brake-blocks, control surface locks and pitot-tube cover.

...and finally but not last...thanks to everyone who help us to release this aircraft!

Thank you for choosing our aircraft! Happy landings!
