NAMC YS-11 v2.7 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004

This add-on aircraft depicts the NAMC YS-11 used by Japan Coast Guard / Maritime Safety Agency in patrol, SAR and transport roles. The aircraft we have modeld is the only one of those five aircraft which is equipped with magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) boom in the tail. Other clearly distinctive feature that separates these aircraft from standard passenger version are the two, large observation dome windows on both sides of the fuselage.

This manual is intended to give you all the information required to operate the AFG's NAMC YS-11 v2.7 for FS2004 as realistically as possible. The manual has been divided into two main sections. The first part covers the main instrument panel and the various sub-panels instrument by instrument. The second part introduces you to the procedures required to use them all. Please note, that this release of the YS-11 is no longer compatible with FS2002!
In this manual the focus is on the systems and gauges unique to the YS-11. We do not cover basics such as radio navigation. We assume that required knowledge has been obtained from other sources.
Please note that as it was necessary to make some slight changes to the texturing of certain parts, there might be some problems with other YS-11 repaints. However, we have tried to minimize the effects of those changes.
