Installation
Notes:
To install the AGL livery you have to download
the aircraft from FSNordic website using
the link to the right in "Original
Model and Updates". It is a big package
but you are in fact downloading six aircraft
models at the same time: Amphibian, Spring
Gear, Taildragger, Tri-Cycle, Tundra Wheel
and Wheel-Ski versions. There are three
files you need to install first: the FULL
PACKAGE version 1.0 (60mB), the UPDATE to
version 1.1 (24mB) and the MISSING NOSE
GEAR TEXTURES (25kB). After you have installed
the original aircraft model then you download
and install the AGL textures. Take a look
at the "readme.txt" file included
in each AGL texture zip files. Contact the
Fleet
Manager if you require assistance.
FS
Model :
Over 19.000 downloads since it was released
last December, 2003 attest to the quality
of this freeware aircraft for FS2004. Despite
the large download size, the six different
models, the two panel and sound sets available
and the documentation included are worth
the time. It flies beautifully and its STOL
flight characteristics make it a very nice
addition to the Altair Global Logistics
fleet, especially to our Alaskan PANC hub.
There is a review available for this model
on Avsim, here.
The
Aircraft:
The Maule M-7-260, equipped with 260
hp Lycoming IO-540-V4A5 engine, is the most
powerful model in the Maule fleet. It can
easily be outfitted for work and for luxurious
cross-country cruising. With its fast cruise
speed and slow stall speed, the M-7-260
is a very comfortable and safe travel airplane.
The 260hp engine also nicely enhances performance
of amphibious float equipped M-7’s.
