NEWS BETWEEN VERSION 3.0 AND VERSION (v2.0) + PATCH2004 :

1- Correction of brake problems when loading the aircraft from the "create a flight" menu.

   It is yet recommended not to load the plane from the "create a flight" menu but rather from a default fs9 already loaded
(B737 for instance), gauge programs are better loaded this way with fs9.
   I have no explaination why fs9 load differently the .gau file from one way to another).
   Better proceed one of the folowing ways :
 - either "create a flight" choosing the default B737 and once the the flight is loaded, select the A300 in the "aircraft" menu.
 - or "save" a situation with the B737 (at gate with engines off for instance). Choose this flight in the menu "select a flight" and then load the A300 from the "aircraft" menu once the situation is loaded.

2- Bugs corrections between the 2 altimeters.
   Possibility to set more precisely the barometric pressure thanks to 2 clic areas.

3- VOR1 needle no more points to ILS (VOR needles only point to VOR).

4- Flaps, Landing Lights, doors and LOGO lights work in association with the A300 plane made by SGA (cargo door will work only if YELLOW hydraulic circuit is ON).

5- Fuel quantities indications units depend on the setting of FS9.
   If U.S. system is choosen, indications will be in LBS, if one of the 2 other modes is choosen, indications will be in KGS.

6- Ability to listen to 2 different COM frequencies (COM1+COM2 to be able to hear ATIS while following ATC)

7- Connection between AP/FD and Marco Ravanello's INS CIVA IV v1.20.
   INS1 (left) is connected to AP/FD1, INS2 (right) is connected to AP/FD2 thanks to a new switch added in front of the pilot.
   If this swicth is set to INS, AP/FD (when in VL mode) will follow the flight points entered in the corresponding INS.

   (read carefully the authors' documentation for a correct use of those INS).

8- Custom made fly dynamics based on Franck Weiss one, for more realistic performances (even if not perfect yet).

9- For visual approaches (VFR), the Mini Panel mode (press "W" key) now displays the main A300 instruments.
