About real plane's history:

  The L-410 is a 19 passenger, twin-engine turboprop powered, commuter, cargo and special missions
  aircraft.It is ideally suited for short-haul flights from unimproved airfields although it is equally adept
  at operating from traditional airport environments.
  The L-410/L-420 family is flying in five continents. It‘s durable airframe and unique design offers ex-
  ceptional performance both in the torrid desert heat of Africa and Latin America as well as the most
  frigid regions of the world. The L 410 UVP-E aircraft and its derivative versions meet the NLGS-2,
  JAR 25 or FAR 23 requirements. Certifications have been obtained for operations all over the world
  including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark, Germany, Chile,
  India, Hungary, Kenya, the Philippines, RSA, Russian, Sweden, Ukraine, Venezuela, the United Sta-
  tes of America and other countries.
  Simultaneously, the L 410 environment friendly operation fully meets all FAR 36 and ICAO Annex 16
  noise certification requirements. No other planes better serves the short-haul transport necessities
  in both developed and undeveloped regions of the world than the L 410. Operators around the globe
  profitably fly the L 410 in high number of applications. Over 1,100 L 410 aircraft were delivered to
  Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

About FS model:

  The project was started more than one year ago and we had lot of problems during design but they
  was successfully solved. Now we would like to thank Peter "Joe" Topor and all of Farnair Hungary's
  employees for support our project with lot of photos, informations and much more.
  For the best realism Bence used more than 15.000 polygons and he animated all of moving surfaces
  and parts that he c ould do. So you can sit - in virtual view - into the cockpit's seats,in the passen-
  ger-section or in the glass-nose too! When the painting work is started the exterior model isn't finis-
  hed yet, so Tibor began his work with major parts, such as fuselage and the wings.
  Meantime, we searching a good gauge-programmer too.
  The painting work is very difficult (but not so much as 3Dmodelling), because we have only one way
  to make a really good textures: we use d 32-bit bitmaps with bigger file size. So please accept the
  l arger texture folder... :-( But the surface is ready for DXT-textures, so if you want, you can put it.
  A few months ago we met Jiri Masnik , a C zech gauge-programmer (former of CVA Design), who pro-
  mised us to make good realistic gauges. Unfortunatelly he can't finish t his gauges yet because he
  didn't has enough free time, but if these gauges will be done, we will rele ase they i mmediatelly in a
  patch.
  You can find our L-410's forum at here!

Model summary:

  The model of L-410 made with FSDS 2.24 and contained 15.439 poligons. All available surfaces are
  animated such as ailerons, elevators, rudder, gears, cargo and passenger doors, arms and pedals.
  Custom 2D panel and gauges, animated and working virtual cockpit. For the textures using CorelDraw
  and Photoshop. Three paint scheme is available: one real life Hungarian paint as reg. HA-LAB, one
  Russian Aeroflot version and one official paint scheme of Pannon Wings Design Team.
  Repaint kit is included too.

How to fly:

  We strongly suggested virtual view with 0.62 zoom during flight. You can open or close doors with
  "Shift+E+1" and "Shift+E+2" (front and cargo) as default settings. The cargo door's stair visible only
  on the ground. If you pull out parking brakes by "Shift+." when the engines is fully stopped, more ad-
  ditional features being appeared: brake-blocks, control surface locks and pitot-tube cover.
