Hi all,

here is the new 86th flight model.

The original IL-86 flight dynamics file by Dmitry Kolesnik, originally made for FS98, has been modified to make it FS2002 compatible.  The main corrections are:

- The "dead code" added by FSEdit for FS2002 to the original *.air file has been removed

- New weight configuration: acft. is setted-up with a 310.000 lbs empty weight (about 250 paxs. + baggages).  Max fuel load is now limited to about 155.000 lbs (it's about 100% central and wing tank, 20% aux. tanks).  DO NOT OVERLOAD THE AIRCRAFT!

- New flaps setting and dynamics.  Use 15° (2 notch) for T.O.

- New spoiler dynamics: now you can gently slow down aircraft even during steep approach, without "parachute" effects

- New engine dynamics: at MTOW stop your climb @ 31,000 ft.  Cruise speed is as shown on POH

- Exaust black smoke effects added.  Press "I" to activate it during take off and climb.  Switch off the smoke once over 20,000 ft

- Fuel Flow corrected (it's now a 23% more!  Watch out your speed on long hauls!  I suggest to maintain M 0.78)

Well... the "big bear" is yours now!  Nice flight!!!
