West BV66 Simulator
(basic instructions)

The Westt BV66 Engine is a "simulator" which has some built in courses on the inner workings of aircraft engines and aerdoynamics.
If you want to go through it first ask one of the teachers if you can use it, I'd reccomend you ask Mr. Houben.

I made some very basic instructions and I trust you can figure out how the rest works as it is a simple program to operate.

Instructions can be found:
