I would'nt go TEAL as yet for the Short'C' Class , its Tasman Empire Airways , there is an issue with the props , Jen's can easy fix this , it damn nice by compare to the payware FCS Sunderland ....... Jens B. Kristensen has typically done a superb piece off work here , and that's bloody

I have not looked at the Viscount but both are also available at Flightsim.com

The Viscount looks good from the shots I've seen of it. Haven't had the chance to actually try it though.

Looks like NAC used them, so maybe a repainter here could turn one out for us?

Three great screens Doug , it would be worth going to Ferrymead Museum and photo the metal texture for the engines

Hey Doug, were you able to get the panel displaying ok for the FSDS Viscount in FSX? All I get is the bitmap and missing gauges, I dumped the CAB file for gauges into the FSX gauges folder but I guess they're not compatible? You using another panel?

There is only a 2D panel and it is not the viscount it is just the panel.cfg [fltsim]
alias=BEECH_KING_AIR_350\panel which shows gauges

There is another Viscount that is updated to FSX with a VC but no NZ repaints for it and these ones don't work in it
This one does work in FSX with a VC but no NZ repaints viscount_10x.zip there is also the vc8snd2.zip sound for the Viscount works with all

Yeah got the sound file which is excellent, oh well, no panel for FSX, will wait for a repaint of the new one then
