Boeing 717-200 Design by Alejandro Rojas,Valencia-Venezuela Only for FS 2004  
  
Full animated parts include leading edge flaps, thrust reversers, Main Passenger door, landing gear.  Animated Virtual Cockpit. 
 
About the panel.  This is a quick build.  I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I wanted to do as much of the model myself as possible.  Panel gauges and overall configuration are from a freeware MD-11 from the http://www.overland.ca.ja/ website.  I tried to make contact with this site and did not get an answer.   Some changes were necessary since the B-717 is a twin engined plane.  Sounds are mixed from 4 different models, basically from default airplanes. 
 
Also, I wanted this to be a model that can be used on lower end machines and not need a powerful hardware setup.  I plan that my future models will be better, although keeping to the  less complex configuration

Installation:  
 
Extract the folder to your ...../Flight Simulator 9/aircraft folder. Thats all you need.  While you can place the gauges in the main gauge folder, I prefer to leave them in the Panel folder.
