Minimum FlightGear version required for this aircraft [1], note that this is a "soft" requirement - i.e. it will not terminate fg or trigger an error, but only show a warning in the console/fg window using a Nasal script that checks if the property is set. This is mainly intended to make compatibility issues more obvious, i.e. end-users downloading new aircraft and wanting to use them in conjunction with an old version of FlightGear, which is causing quite a bit of workload on the support forum. We are hoping to also display this info in the About dialog
