The FlightGear model is currently in developement, simulating the Dornier 328-110 with ground spoilers and without APU and will be probably available sometime 2013, due to heavy real life load of the author.

Special Thanks to the User Groucho from the FGFS forums, who made it possible that I could look into the Flight Manual!

===== Completed already =====
=== Completed already ===
*YASim FDM Turboprop based on detailed pilot reports and some few free available numbers from the POH mentioned in various accident reports bringing the fdm to a rating of 4. Unfortunately the fdm suffers from the crosswind problem with YASim. (Issue #772) I tried several different configs in the past months, compared with buckaroos aircraft, but all what I found was, that all aircraft suffers from this.
====JSBSim FDM:====
 
* '''[11/19/2013]:''' realistic Vr/V2 speeds according to sources, plausible climb rates, realistic roll rates
* JSBSim FDM: will now soon replace the YASim FDM due to many advantages: better behavior; airfoil is known; prop datas are known; much more realistic turboprop simulation; icing can be simulated; realistic wing flex can be used; realistic gear behavior and compression; no crosswind problems, autoflight already stable tuned. FDM is already really close to rating of 4 - stall speeds and climb rates already near the pilot reports- needs more testing; needs tuning of roll and pitch rates.
08/20/2013: JSBSim- 328-model needs a new prop, as current behavior is far from being realistic- even using the known datas....

* complete rebuild of the whole exterior model with better shape, new more accurate wings prepared for wingflex, Rembrandt-Ready, Ubershader with multiple lightmaps, Paintkit- Increasing exterior model level to 5 stars. Exterior-model Jet-Version already in the works and soon ready.
====Exterior====
 
*''' [11/19/2013]:''' textured and animated props, improvements to landing gear, small updates to liveries
* '''New 08/21/2013:''' Rendered in Blender Cycles: finally 3d work of the flightdeck has been mostly finished, needs only the textures and the Overhead panel- we'll see what the weekened will bring.
 
===== Near Term Tasks (soon as time allows again after moving)=====
*Dornier 328-300/JET
-creating the 328JET fdm
-modifying the exterior model to the Jet version
 
*finishing the flightdeck :


-Overhead Panel with fully 3d models knobs, switches, warning lights
*''' [11/19/2013]:''' flightdeck progress- PFD and MFD working; working throttle quadrant, nearly working autoflight panel


-addings small details (pencils, placards...)
====autoflight====
*''' [11/19/2013]:''' added autoflight system from Syd's Citation X


--modifiying the flightdeck to jet version (Overhead panel, center pedestal, Primus 2000 EICAS)
==To-Do-List: ==
==== Near Term Tasks ====
'''*fdm:'''
# tuning of prop so it decelerate much more on glideslope
# correct groundspoiler logic
# simulating roll spoiler
# reduce braking force of landing gear to match real landing distances
# enable friction.nas
# simulate latch of throttle
# tune fuel consumption


-using Blender's baking feature (full render + area lights outside for a more realistic shading) for the textures
'''*finishing the flightdeck:'''
and keep them on less texture files as possible.
# working autoflight panel
# Overhead Panel with fully 3d models knobs, switches, warning lights
# Center Pedestal
# EICAS page(s) --> canvas??
# addings small details (pencils, placards...)


-modifying Syd's Primus 1000 to the Primus 2000
'''*systems:'''
#autoflight: more tuning, change systems to act like real thing


-adding CDU from Syd's Citation X
'''*exterior:'''
# missing animation
# realistic wing flex
# add lights
# optimize  for Rembrandt(No-shadow tags, lights)
# realistic sounds


 
'''*Dornier 328-300/JET'''
*using the Citation X flight director system, as also used in the real 328s.
#creating the 328JET fdm
*add lights
#modifying the exterior model to the Jet version
*optimize  for Rembrandt(No-shadow tags, lights)
#modifiying the flightdeck to jet version (Overhead panel, center pedestal, Primus 2000 EICAS)
*realistic sounds
*adding it all to FGData
