Aerosoft H36 Dimona X 1.00 Manual INTRODUCTION Truth be told, the H36 Dimona is not a brilliant aircraft. As a motor aircraft it a bit unwieldy, as a glider it just not has the performance you would hope for and as a touring motor glider it seems to combine the worst of both types of aircraft. But it has something that few aircraft have, character. Just minutes after you first climbed in (it’s a bit like a sports car, you lower yourself in the seat) it is clear, this is not a Cessna, it’s something else.

Aerosoft H36 Dimona X 1.00 Manual Note: When used in Windows Vista the GPS device cannot be rotated. For some weird reason the animation will not work. Not a big issue. To turn the GPS on, press the button with the red logo.

Aerosoft H36 Dimona X 1.00 Manual Once an identifier is recognised, it will show facility name and nearby city - if possible. Press ENTER and the GPS will return to the Map page with the flight plan leg from the current aircraft position to the selected identifier.

Aerosoft H36 Dimona X 1.00 Manual SAVING YOUR AIRCRAFT The Aerosoft Dimona X has an automated save function. This means that every time you park the aircraft (on ground, no movement and engine off) all the settings are stored. The next time you load the aircraft you will find it exactly as you left it last time. This loading takes a while as some systems have to be initialized. Therefor a small display will ask you to wait a few seconds.
Aerosoft H36 Dimona X 1.00 Manual SPOILER In an aircraft that is designed to glide as efficient as possible it can be amazingly hard to land as the aircraft will tend to glide a long way in the ground effect. The use of the spoiler is thus very important and you will need smooth control over it. If your control hardware has an additional slider (like for example the Saitek X52) we strongly advise you to assign that to the spoilers so you can control the spoilers in small steps.
