Flight dynamics by Tom Gibson, based on FS2002 dynamics by FSAviator - see Reference file (F10).  This FDE is not designed for AI use - it will not work.  Download AI propliners at http://www.calclassic.com/.

Note that this aircraft used R-2800-CB-16 engines, which have a two stage supercharger.  They will perform well at high altitudes.  All TWA M404's were equipped with these engines.  It includes a working two speed supercharger for FSX and FS2004, and a realistic starting display with slow prop turning ONLY FOR FS2004.  Finally, installation into FSX has been partially automated.

FSX FEATURES:

Refer to the If Installing into FSX.txt file for detailed instructions.

1.  Special FSX sound and supercharger gauges for proper operation.

2.  A special VC Camera Definition called CalClassic VC View.  If chosen, it will eliminate the FSX bug that causes the view of the VC to be incorrect if you press Ctrl-Spacebar to reset the view.  Use this view instead of the default VC view to avoid this.


FS2004 FEATURES:

1.  Realistic engine start:  refer to the FS2004 Realistic Engine Start.txt file for details - FS2004 ONLY!

2.  Wing Views:  Press Ctrl-Shift-1 and Ctrl-Shift-3 to view the wings from the cockpit, and Ctrl-Shift-7 and Ctrl-Shift-9 to view from the passenger cabin.

FS2004/FSX FEATURES:

FLIGHT DYNAMICS

Press F10 to bring up the checklist and FSAviator's Reference file.  To fly realistically you should follow the Reference file.

AIRCRAFT

1.  The passenger door will open and airstairs will extend when you press Shift-E.  Press Shift-E again to close the door for flight.  The crew/cargo door will open with Shift-E 2 (that's Shift E, then release, then press the 2 above the keyboard).  The doors will open automatically if you stop the left engine, put on the parking brake, and turn off the seat belt sign.

2.  The working cowl flaps are opened by Ctrl-Shift-V, and closed by Ctrl-Shift-C (both in increments).  Or use the panel controls, which also include cowl flap drag.

3.  The landing lights light the ground properly, and must be extended before use (press the L key, and then press Shift-W).  There is a separate taxi light on the nose strut (turns off with the rest of the lights using the L key, or use the switch on the panel).

4.  Contrails whenever you want them (press the I key)

5.  You will not have a steerable nosewheel unless you use a separate rudder control on the ground.

2.  Realistic Engine Starts:  this includes slow turning props during starting.  Refer to the FS2004 Realistic Engine Start.txt file for further instructions.

PANEL:

The included panel is a new Martin panel bitmap by Manfred Meyer and Ryan Miller - thanks!.

Please refer to the HTML file in the panel's Martin_pnl_KMCC/M404 PANEL OPERATIONS folder for details.

SOUND:

Many sounds included are from Reinhold Herrmann, along with startup and shutdown sounds from Tom Gibson.

FLIGHT DYNAMICS

Please read the Martin (and Convair) Mini Tutorial found in the plane's folder.  Then while flying press F10 to bring up FSAviator's Reference file.

************************************************************************

After WW II, several manufacturers began work on a DC-3 replacement for short hauls.  The early leader in the race was Martin, with it's 2-0-2 flying several months before any competitor.  Northwest Airlines launched 2-0-2 service in November 1947, and it proved to be a popular aircraft until the cause of a 1948 crash was found to be structural fatigue in the major wing spar.  The planes were then withdrawn for rebuilding and re-engining, and the airlines had a change of heart and ordered the competing Convair CV-240 instead.  The 2-0-2's successor, the improved and pressurized 3-0-3, was cancelled and it looked like Martin was out of the airliner business.  However, they fought back with an even more improved model, the 4-0-4.  Most airlines were committed to Convair by then, however, and sales prospects looked slim.

TWA and Eastern at the time were negotiating with Convair for an improved plane, the "Super 240".  However, when TWA and Eastern officials came to the Convair plant in San Diego to sign the preliminary papers, they were informed that the project was summarily cancelled, and that they would have to buy stock CV-240's!  Orders were soon placed with Martin for 101 4-0-4's for the two airlines, although those ended up being the only ones sold to airline customers.  The 4-0-4 proved to be as popular as the competing Convair-Liners, and they served their owners well.  After being sold to numerous second tier airlines, they proved to have a remarkably long lifespan, although they didn't go through the turboprop metamorphosis of the Convair series.  Almost (?) all 4-0-4's have been retired or are on the airshow circuit (one even painted into Pacific colors, my old hometown airline!).
