The Cessna 310 family modelled for FlightGear

Installation

Put the contents of this repository into a directory of your choice by either

• git cloneing it:

   ~$ cd /some/path/Aircraft
   /some/path/Aircraft$ git clone https://github.com/TheFGFSEagle/c310-family

• or downloading the repository as a ZIP file and unzipping it with your favorite archive manager into /some/path/Aircraft/c310-family (make sure to remove the trailing -master from the directory name !)

Then, tell FlightGear to search /some/path/Aircraft for aircraft by either

• adding /some/path/Aircraft to the list of additional aircraft folders in the Addons tab of FGLauncher
• or passing --aircraft-dir=/some/path/Aircraft on the command line.

IMPORTANT:

No matter which of the methods above you use, make sure that you put this into /some/path/Aircraft/c310-family and pass /some/path/Aircraft to FlightGear to search for aircraft in - if you change Aircraft/c310-family to anything else, FlightGear will NOT be able to find and load the 3D model !

c310-family's Issues

Fix engine controls friction knob

The knob is present only on the right side of the controls pedestal in the model, but in reality there are two - one on each side.

Fuel system broken

Engines stop working at around 75 lbs in each main tank - filling them up again, the engines continue running.
Also fuel pressure is fluctuating a lot.
