| Documented highlights | Two different flap systemsThe manual lists Fowler-flap settings of 8, 20 and 40 degrees. Separate 35-degree dive-recovery flaps have a different purpose from speedbrakes. Hydraulically boosted ailerons accompany pitch and rudder trim. Its IAS table lists 130 knots for full flap and 152 knots for gear. Later flight-model revisionsVersions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 revise controls, compressibility and the three flap positions. The notes also fix an MSFS 2024 cockpit interaction issue and remove a spurious roll during gear retraction. | The independent X-Plane 12 conversionThe public conversion author's v2.3 instructions of July 2025 describe an independent ACF conversion and object changes, with permission stated. They also retain an old-dataref startup warning. This work has its own authorship and version scope. |
