Diamond Katana w/ Automatic Flaps, Automatic Takeoff and Wind System Version 11.5
Working Digital Dash, Instrument Dials, Switches and a Monitor Screen.
Altitude HUD. The plane will either automatically rotate and climb or descend and level to the altitude you choose.
The Katana has a new Automatic Landing system with a customizable notecard integrated into the HUD. You can either land at the 30+ airports listed in the HUD or add your own.
Once you choose your destination the plane will automatically descend to that airport. The system controls rate of descent and speed, you simply need to steer the plane left or right.
4 Automatic Take Off modes - Left / Straight long field & short field / Right
Built-in automated wind system.
Selectable wind direction HUD.
Independent rudder control for correcting yaw.
2 Flight modes, Normal mode & Cruise mode
2 Flap modes, normal and fast sink rate.
Articulated flaps and nose gear.
To operate the wind system type "ww" (without parenthesis) in chat and then toggle the wind direction by typing "w" repeatedly until you find the wind direction you want. The wind direction is also shown in chat.
The plane will now fly as though there's a wind force on it. The wind system is active and changes force depending on the plane's orientation to the selected wind direction. If the wind is coming directly at the front of or the back of the plane there will be a change in speed. If the wind is coming towards the plane at a 45 degree angle there will be a moderate change in speed as well as a cross-wind/sideslipping effect. And if the wind is coming directly at the side of the plane there will be a maximum amount of cross-wind/sideslipping effect.
The force of the wind is also affected by the airplane's speed.
Chat Commands:
s - Start & Stop
e or Pg. Up - Acceleration
c or Pg. Dn - De-acceleration
f - Flaps
ff - Flaps for faster descent
a - Auto level
dd - Door
c - Second camera view
cc - Third camera view
fs - Phantom mode - allows you to fly through anything... Just don't fly through SL terrain!

Another Fantastic Aircraft
This is another fantastic aircraft from the Java stables. I now own three of Java's planes, and intend to buy more. I already had the float version of this aircraft, so I knew it would be very much the same. This version weighs in slightly lighter on the land impact, and of course, has a slightly lower profile.
Detail is high enough to look great, but low enough to avoid huge land impact or texture/object related lag.
Sim crossing is very stable with this, as with other Java creations, and handling is smooth and simple. Just like the float version, the textures are easy to modify with basic knowledge of image editing.
