Yes good pics of an era in topdressing that we are unlikely to see again I guess WAW will be in for some repainting soon on there fleet - will be rather expensive to add the H into Whanganui - LOL !!

I do have knowledge on others , so many now i cant recall /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif /> Thanks Ian. Yes I goggled and saw that one but it is always nice to get some first hand info. I will give that a go, it may suit my old mate who spends most of his days on FS9.

QUOTE (Trev @ Mar 21 2009, 07:04 PM) I found the solution to the Autopilot and radio failure on the unofficial Cpt Sim forum. pushing 'Ctrl E' fixes ithem when they fail. Thanks! Interesting ... as isn't that "auto engine restart" or something? So it must be restarting some systems that have inadvertently got shut down <???>.

Also, you can download a Panel for Razbam or Abacus Skyhawk. P.S. If you like flying in the VC with gauges, don't download the razbam texture update.

Another recent ex-payware "put out to grass" was the Alphasim Cessna 170B. It looks nice, flies well, but again has no 2D panel and an almost cartoonish VC one. Guess the high standard of later payware stuff has spoiled us. What standard is being experienced in the FSX freeware...?

Sorta pointless really without an FMC. They are integral with the whole operation of the aircraft.

I searched google for 2 minutes: (panel only FS9 - he's done an FSX panel too - also found by google)

I also had to tweak my Hercs to work in FSX - pretty well what's been described above. I also tried to replace the flag.dds to show a Kiwi flag .... but can't get it to work. Does it work for anybody?

Is this the same one thats been out on flightsim.com and simviation for a couple of years, or a new one? Theres also a civvie L-19 with wheels and floats also

Well I just installed the Cessna 170 and thought I'd post to save anyone else their time and effort. I can see why they released this as freeware because I would have been very disappointed if I'd paid for it. Quite frankly the 2D cockpit is rubbish and that's all there is - it doesn't come close to what is now an acceptable article. I don't know how it flys because I dumped it straight after looking at the interior. Now to have a look at the Mentor, it's a much bigger download so perhaps there's some quality there.

yes it was the vista version that i downloaded, now this is the thing that annoys me the most, the smae version (for FS9) will run on my laptop with fs9, but if i install it in FSX on the vista machine (the vista version is what i brought) it will not work. and wilco do not respond to my questions. i knew it wouldn't work in DX10 mode Jason

thanks for the link, I have been looking for some of his models this week to use in fsx as AI This saves me heaps of time. /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> cheers

FSX only.... /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif />
