FS-FLIGHTMODEL
--------------

The FS98 version has been fitted with landinglights (done with the LLADD
program by S. Schwarz). Also included is a checklist (shift-c) 

A good panel to use with FS98 for a pc-12 is "98pc12v2.zip" V2.0 by David Durst.

You can find both on flightsim.com
    
The AFX will not be available for repaints, but you're welcome to send
me suggestions for liveries/repaints (no more than one at a time)
