Good Bye Andino

[IAHM-COL]

Thanks for all the hard work and the beautiful models you left behind.
All very appreciated.

A best wish,

What happened to Andino?

[SHM]

By this communication I would like to let you know, that I am no longer able to continue developing the Airbus A340-600HGW, the A340-313X, the Boeing 707-320 and the MD-81, MD-82, and MD-83.

These models can still be downloaded from the website (https://andinogonthaeler.wordpress.com/), but they will not be developed further by me in a systematic way. If I occasionally do something new, I will let you know in the forum and in the blog, but not much work should be expected.

Due to personal reasons, I have not the time needed to work any more on these planes. And the pace of new FG versions is too quick for me to be able to do the necessary adjustments to each version.

As far as I know, models A340-600HGW, A340-313X and B-707-320 are completely under the GPL license. The MD's are under the Creative Commons license, as they are derived from the original MD-81, which was under the Creative Commons license. More is explained under each plane. Feel free to continue the work on these models.

Thank you for your support and interest so far.

Thanks Andino for all your hardwork.

Thanks for your work and good luck!

Best of luck Andino

I'm not seeing a dedicated thread to Andino's A340-313X , but I've adjusted the Yah-sim fdm for a more sane AP operation, and added some engine thrust.

Actually a little more spritely at cruise than it should be, but JWocky likes his jets faster.

According to Wiki, an A340 has a cruise speed of Mach 0.82 at 36,000 feet. So a max of Mach 0.74 is slow. So yes, I like my planes in the specs.

[LesterBoffo]

Well this is a lot closer to a cruise of 0.88 mach @ 34,000 while at 75% thrust roughly.

Adjust it as you will, there were many problems with the YAsim fuselage entries and the jet engine coding.

Also remember that the A340 is considered an bit soft in the thrust and climb department compared to other passenger jets.

[jwocky]

I just have her out, she seems to be better, a lot. Now I only have to figure how to land her ... just in case TerraSuck gives me terrain
