****************************************************************************

	This is the New Citation X painted up in turnout colors.  Or, in
	other words, it's painted as the second or third prototype, N752CX.
	This is the aircraft that "Flying Magazine" flight tested in May,
	1996, just before certification.

	As I now have a new computer and am running FS98, this aircraft was
	flight tested and optimized for FS98.  However, you will still need
	to convert this aircraft first.  

	I considered uploading a converted plane with landing lights and all 
	the other bells and whistles but, since I'm still new to the ways of 
	FS98 and not sure what to include in the file, I found it to be easier 
	to just upload a generic, uncoverted version and let you and the 
	converter itself, do the dirty work of file placement. <G>

	The converter I refer to is FS98CONV.EXE and if you don't already have it,
	get it!  You won't be able to fly this aircraft in FS98 without it.  It's
	free and can be downloaded from Microsoft's web page or just about any 
	other Flight Simulation related web site or forum.

	As always, this file includes the AFX file and all other source code for
	those who want to make changes.  Of course, you'll need Flight Simulator
	Flight Shop and FS 5.1 in order to do that.


Installation:

	FS98:

	As I mentioned, you'll need FS98CONV.EXE.  Unzip the files and 
	place the CITN-X.AIR file and all CITN-X.*AF files into a temporary folder.  
	Run the conversion progran and it will convert the aircraft and then 
	place all the appropriate files into the correct directories.  That's 
	all you have to do. If you  wish to make changes by using the AFX file, 
	follow the directions below and then reconvert it when you're done.

	FS 5.1:
	
	The CITN-X.LST file pretty much tells you what
	file goes where.  But for those of you who are new at
	downloading FSFS aircraft, here's a more detailed 
	explanation:

	There are 2 ways you can install this aircraft for FS 5.1:

	1.) If all you plan to do is fly the aircraft as is,
	copy the CITN-X.AIR file to C:\FLTSIM5\PILOTS. And
	then copy:
	
	CITN-X.0AF
	CITN-X.1AF
	CITN-X.2AF
	CITN-X.3AF
	CITN-X.4AF
	CITN-X.5AF
	CITN-X.6AF
	CITN-X.7AF
	CITN-X.8AF
	CITN-X.9AF

	to your C:\FLTSIM5\TEXTURE subdirectory.

	2.) If you want to have access to the AFX and other 
	source code files, do step one. Then create a subdirectory
	on your hard drive.  You may call it whatever you want
	and it doesn't have to be part of the c:\AF5 sudirectory
	either.  It can stand alone.  Then, copy:
	CITN-X.AFX
	CITN-X.LST
	all the files containing the .PCX extension
	all the files containing the .R8 extension into you newly
	created subdirectory.

	Then, click-on the Aircraft Factory icon and change the 
	project directory to the one you've just created.  Unpack 
	the project from the packing crate.  And you're ready to 
	go.

Aircraft Data:

	The Citation X is powered by two Allison, AE-3007C
	turbofan engines rated at 6,400 lbs of thrust each.
	It has a maximum take off weight of 35.300 lbs.  It
	seats 8 and has an IFR range of about 3300 nautical
	miles.

	Wing span....................63.9 ft.
	Aspect ratio.................7.75
	Length overall...............72 ft.
	Height overall...............18.9 ft.
	Max cruise speed.............mach .92
	MMo..........................mach .95 (I set it to mach .99 <g>)
	Max climb rate...............4000 fpm.
	Service Ceiling..............51,000 ft.
	Runway length t/o............5,580 ft.
	Runway length landing........3,500 ft.
	Stall (clean)................104 kts.
	Stall (flaps & gear).........88 kts.
	
	V1      Vr      V2      Weight          Vref
	109    112      123     33,500 lbs     132 kts.

	This is a very fast plane and you're going to have your
	hands full keeping it in check at the lower altitudes.
	I usually just set the autopilot at 4000 fpm and 250 kts
	until I pass 10,000 feet then then up the speed to 300 kts
	until I switch over to mach .70 at around 25,000 ft or so.

	I usually just fly this thing at FL-430 or 450 at around
	mach .90 or so.  In real life, you wouldn't be able to cruise
	at much beyond mach .80 or so in the 30 - 39,000 feet range
	because of all the other traffic at that altitude.
	
	One other thing: Although the real Citation X has a thrust
	rating of 6,400 lbs, in order to get her to fly at mach .90
	or better at the higher altitudes, I had to almost double
	her thrust rating to 12,200 lbs.  Because of that, the flight
	model after conversion emulates a heavy aircraft (Boeing 737-400)
	instead of light jet.  This means that you'll have to enable
	the "Autothrottle" in the aircraft autopilot menu.



Panels:

	I recommend that you use some sort of "Light Jet", third party 
	add-on panel with this aircraft.  I've been using Stacy Clark's
	Propellerhead Lear 45 panel throughout the testing phase of this
	project and I just can't see myself ever using the default Lear 
	panel ever again.

	

Acknowlegements:


	I'd like to thank the Cyber Air/CARTS Execs and HC's 
	for putting the "X" through it's paces.  Of course, getting their
	own personal versions of this aircraft probably had something to
	do with their efforts. <G>

	Stacy Clark of Propellerhead Design for a great Lear 45 panel.
	Hey, it's not a Citation X panel but it's close enough. <G>

	
	
Legal Stuff:

	This aircraft is freeware.  You may do anything you like
	with it except sell it.  Enjoy!
