Here are two reworked Airfiles for some Avro Regionaljets and

BEe-146's which are offered for FS2000. The Airfiles based on

FS98 Models but this is necessary for a correct starting of the

Model when using my Version 2.0 Avro Panel Arjv2fsk.zip. Well,

don't worry about this fact that they are FS98 Airfiles. They

have no disadvantages to the FS2000 Airfiles. Quite the contrary

they are much better. Antony Madge, who made them, gave those

Files a much more realistic feeling so they fly like a BAe-146

should with all typical Flight characteristics of this Aircraft.



You may find another bug loosing the electrical voltage after

some minutes. This happens with the original Airfiles and also

with this new ones. The reason is simple. Both Airfiles don't

use the electrical system of FS2000. But here is a small tip

which helps you with this Problem. To bring the Battery to work

correct there's a very important thing you must change in the

Aircraft.cfg of your corresponding BAe-146. Open the Aircraft.cfg

with the Editor and add these two lines to it:



[electrical]

max_battery_voltage=0





For example:

In the Eurowings 146 the complete Aircraft.cfg looks then like

this one:



[fltsim.0]

title=Eurowings BAe-146-200

sim=Northwest BAE-146

model=

panel=

sound=

texture=

checklists=



[electrical]

max_battery_voltage=0



Those new lines means that your aircraft don't use the standard

FS2000 electrical system. 





Installation:



The first Zipfile "Greggory Payne 146 Airfile" is for the new

FS2000 Eurowings Model by Gregory Payne (also for other Models

he designed). I made some minor changes to the file to give it

a better performance.



The second Zipfile "Bill Alderson 146 Airfile" is for all Repaints

of Bill Alderson's Model like the BA 146, United Airlines and other.



Just unzip the Airfile you need into the folder of your BAe-146.

Take a look how the original Airfile is named, make a Backup of it

and rename the new Airfile like the old one. That's all. Please

take care that you don't mistake the files or the Designer of the

Original Aircraft!





Credits



I would like to thank Antony Madge for his great BAe-146 Airfile

and his permission to upload this modified files.





Feel free to send feedback or comments. I'm looking forward to

your Mails to know in which part of the world this panel is used.
