The aircraft has been designed to operate with the most advanced software components of FGFS, therefore it is useful to have the latest version of FGFS or rather the development version of FGFS which can be found at the following address: | The aircraft has been designed to operate with the most advanced software components of FGFS, therefore it is useful to have the latest version of FGFS or rather the development version of FGFS which can be found at the following address: | ||

The development version of FGFS implements a whole series of faetures that make the aircraft truly special, with good management of both day and night lights and correct management of shadows. All the images I present in this wiki article were made using the development version of FGFS. | The development version of FGFS implements a whole series of faetures that make the aircraft truly special, with good management of both day and night lights and correct management of shadows.

To use this aircraft, you need to change the Add-ons folder located in the Add-ons Folders section of the launcher. This is done simply by selecting the "Additional components" icon and clicking on the (+) symbol of the "Additional aircraft folders" subsection, enter the path that leads to the github folder that you have downloaded and then click on the "Aereo" icon and select Fiat G91- R1B (JSBSim). | To use this aircraft, you need to change the Add-ons folder located in the Add-ons Folders section of the launcher.

== Starting the plane == | |||
As mentioned above, the plane was made with the philosophy of being as close as possible to the real plane. This means that to start it you can follow the instructions in the flight manual as all systems emulate the original aircraft. | |||
The flight manual can be found at this link: | |||

=== If you want to start more quickly with Engine Start menu === | |||
[[File:FIAT G91R1B - The F1 key open Menu dialog.png|left|frame]] | |||
Obviously if one wants to try the plane faster there is an automatic start system. This menu belongs to the general menu of the aircraft which can be obtained by pressing the [F1] key or by clicking on the menu item "Fiat G91" in the sub-item "[F1] activate menu" | |||
The menu items are several and each of which allows you to run and/or configure the aircraft. To start (or switch off) the plane, simply click on "Engine start" tag. | |||
At this point a pop-up opens that allows you to choose between the following options: | |||
'''[Engine auto start]''' | |||
It starts the engine and the aircraft systems with the times imposed by the aircraft mechanics and by what is written in the flight manual. This sequence shows all the phases with a mobile camera. | |||
'''[Fast mode]''' | |||
Like the previous one, but with a much faster sequence. | |||
'''[Abort start]''' | |||
Blocks the automatic start sequence. | |||
'''[Stop engine]''' | |||
Engine and on-board systems shutdown sequence. This sequence also shows all the phases with a mobile camera. | |||
A brief hint seems useful to me to explain how the menu [F1] works. | |||
The menu is activated with [F1], but can be closed simply with the [ESC] key. | |||
If you press [F1] twice quickly you get the last menu opened before, this is particularly useful for very complex menus, such as the one of the Pilot Assistant and the configuration of the aircraft. | |||
A more complete explanation of the various menu items can be found in a specific section of this manual. | |||
