MODEL

• Three variants of the 146 are included:
  – 146-100

• Accurately modelled using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft (G-JEAO)
• Numerous animations including:
  – Trailing edge flap surfaces
  – Wing-mounted spoilers and tail-mounted airbrake
  – All passenger, service and cargo doors
  – Windscreen wipers
  – Distinctive retractable tricycle landing gear
• 4096×4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
• PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
• Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft features

COCKPIT

• Captain, Co-Pilot and jump-seat positions are modelled with hundreds of functional switches, knobs and controls
• A truly 3D cockpit environment right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads – every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
• Extensive overhead panel with custom-coded hydraulic, electrical, fuel and pressurisation systems
• Functional Thrust Management System (TMS)
• Authentic gauges and navigational equipment, including FMS, HSI and RMIs
• Custom-coded autopilot with LNAV and IAS hold
• Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment

• Panel state system which will automatically save the panel state whenever a flight is saved and reload the panel state whenever that flight is loaded
• Aircraft configuration system that will allow you to choose between ‘cold & dark’ or ‘ready for take-off’
• Many features have been added to help with usability such as the ability to hide the control yokes for a better view of the instruments and pre-set angled views for the overhead panel, centre pedestal and jump seat
