After a big break from FS design over the hot summer months, I've pulled out all stops and finished the Walter Turbine powered Fletcher. Before releasing the model onto AVSIM and FLIGHTSIM.com I need a few volunteers to trial this model. Note it is designed for FSX and is SP2/Acceleration compatible. It should work in FS2004, but some gauges won't work. I don't have FS2004 loaded anymore so I cannot support a FS2004 model I'm afraid. The zip file contains the three models pictured below and there are no installation instructions, so please only download if you know how to add an aircraft to FSX !!

Some additional notes
- add the sound folder from the default Cessna Caravan
- you will need to map akey for the control of the "ballast valve" to get the hopper weight to decrease whilst spreading
- the gps switch will make the lightbar display appear or disappear
- speedbrake key '/' will open and close hopper lid
- I have not included the todressing eefect, so you won't see a super trail unless you have my Earlier (400HP) Fletcher installed
- Othersise all other standard commands such as exit opening/close will work as per normal.

Post any feedback in this thread or email deaneb@ihug.co.nz

Wow awesome stuff Deane

Nice! works in FS9
These Fletches are load's of fun to fly


Also never mind the slightly blury textures I took this on my c**p comp...

Very nice, Deane

Downloading now...

Another amazing Fletcher, very fun to fly in FS9!

I simply love yellow Marl Aerial Work paintjob with the teeth- hope someone can knock up some replacement gauges for the VC!

I just discovered the regular Fletcher- Ohh Yeah

Now This? Double

Would be nice though if somebody could replace some for FS2004. Damn FSX is taking over!!

Its a clean sweep hear so far , reverse,s pitch brilliant , sound set default probaly suits this model better than default , exceptional , I love it after watching Doco again about the Harding family and attitude towards the fletcher,s devolpment from your earlier FU24 to this model , this is the FSX first look

Thanks works in sp2 ok have sent a email ..cheers nice job Deane

Andrew , just mentioned .. Crop dusters don't need Instruments they do .. but old history doc mentions these two chaps heading south to Welly /paraparumu , mid flight - pulling all out what they did'nt need This in a DVD Robin Corn gave me , Tigers to Turbines , I broke it , liked the story so much , brought it again ... just a brilliant viewing ,

But really puts Deane,s efforts into a Whole new side of New Zealand Aviation .

Man this thing is just so cool!
Flying it again this morning, the flight dynamics are so awesome its realy fun to just 'throw' it round in the sky.
And also landing on grass strips is realy smooth like a cessna would bounce round all over the place and this just gentaly rocks up and down until coming to a stop...

Realy great work Deane!

If you can post a screenshot so I can see what gauges don't show, i might be able to patch in some FS2004 default gauges. They may not be as accurate looking as the FSX ones, some of which I custom made. But better than nothing.

No worries Deane, Ill get onto that right away.
