If you get an error pointing to this module it is most likely caused by a problem related to
Microsoft.VC90.CRT.It is known that some people got a problem in the C++ 2008 runtime files. You

FLIGHT MODEL
The flight model has been one of the focal points of this project. Months of tweaking created a flight
model that is amazingly close to the real aircraft. This includes fully accurate stalls and spins. Do take
note that this aircraft is not flown by the numbers. Ask a Dimona pilot what the Vr speed is and he
will give you some vague answer. He knows the aircraft will take-off on its own when it is going ‘fast
enough’. It’s the same with weight, officially the Dimona cannot carry a lot but it never seems to
complain when you load her with two adults and 50 kg of fuel. Will need a few more meters of
runway, that’s all.
But make no mistake, when you fly the Dimona in FSX you get a very exact representation of the real
aircraft. It’s the best aircraft we ever used to explore the edges of the flight envelope. When you fly
her to the stall speed you will experience very predictable and repeatable behavior.
INSTRUMENTS
There is a highly realistic and rather complex set of instruments in these cockpits. While most
instruments are in functionality identical to those in the default FSX aircraft, there are some that
need a bit more explanation.
S3DD AIR MAP GPS
All models come with a small GPS device that is
modeled after the popular Garmin GPS III. This
instrument has its own internal battery so it can
be used when the Master switch is still off. It’s
charged by the main electrical bus when the
Master switch is on. Using the right mouse button
the instrument can be swiveled (expect when it is
mounted low in the dashboard).
