SECTION D: 	NOTES/COMMENTS:

*)	Hardware = PIII 450/128Mb RAM/ GEForce 256 DDR

*)	FS screen resolution used = 1280 x 1024 x 16bit

*)	This aircraft was tested in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 Pro.
	
*)	Used Eric Ernsts panel for duration of testing.

*)	+5 trim used for MGTOW take-off run.

*)	Hard on frame rates! I get about 6 to 9 fps in spot view on my setup.

*)	I downloaded docs from Flight Dynamics Design website as recommended 
	in the archives doc. Interesting stuff. Very helpfull.

*)	The aircraft is easy enough to fly. A good addition to the fleet.

*)	There is an extra file called "JD-767 Autoland inop.air" in this 
	aircrafts' root directory. I can't find any reference to it in 
	the docs!!
