Manual for Stratojet Albatross

 

A: Installation

 

First please delete the old/previous version (if installed)!

Unzip the files into a temp folder.

Copy the file “GaugeSound.dll” into your main FS9 folder or / and into your windows\system 32 folder.
Copy the "Albatross" folder with the subfolders in your FS2004\aircraft folder.
Copy the gauges from the "gauge" folder in the FS2004\gauges folder.
Copy the sound files from the "sound" folder in the FS2004\sound folder (NOT the aircraft\sound folder!!).
 

VERY IMPORTANT:

YOU MUST COPY THE FILE “GaugeSound.dll” INTO YOUR MAIN FS2004 FOLDER OR / AND INTO YOUR

WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 FOLDER!

If you don’t do this FS2004 will crash and returning to the desktop after selecting the aircraft.

 

If you still have problems please verify if the sound files, not the sound files for the plane but the sound files

named "FPDA_Boeing... .wav" has been copied to the flight simulator 9/sound folder!

 

Emails with complaints resulting from an incorrect installation will not be answered!!

This plane has been tested with FS2004 only and probably only works correctly with this version.
I used a Pentium 4 3.8 and a Radeon X850XT PE graphic card. I don't know if
the frame rate is correct with a slower machine.
I used a resolution of 1280x1024 and the FS2004 running in "window" mode (maximized).
The joystick i used is not a force feedback so i can not set the forces correctly!

This version has been created only for FS2004. It is probably not compatible with previous FS-versions.

 

 

 

B: Gauges

 

 

1:

Brake Help

Use it only on landing procedures!
The switch enables automatically the thrust reverser and the airbrakes as soon as all wheels has touched the ground  AND you engaged the wheel brakes!
After the plane has stopped completely, the thrust reverser returns to zero thrust (neutral) and the airbrakes are retracted.
Please disengage the "Brakehelp" after the plane has stopped or/and for taxiing!

 

 

2:

Barometer Set
To calibrate the barometer simply bush this button. The correct value is set automatically...

Radar

FSUIPC must be installed! If not, this gauge will not be functional!

 

 

 

C: Display

 

The custom gauges are optimized to be used at a resolution of 1280x1024 and the FS2004 running in "window" mode (maximized).
