Just do a search on here for debonair, or beech, or b-33 etc.   The file you want would be simply b33.zip which is the most recent edition for FS-9.  Also, if you can't find it on the search engine here which isn't capable of searching zipfile names, try over at avsim which is.  B33.zip in FS-2002 Original Aircraft which is the whole package and B33fs9.zip in FS2004 panels which has critical FS-9 updates and enhancements.  Happy Landings.  I have this one and it's a nice fly but I consider the radio stack rather crammed together.  I edited it myself with cfgedit and exchanged the FS-2004 GPS at the top of the stack for Don Kuhn's enhanced GNS-430 GPS replacement and I also have that unit windowed as the GPS gauge pop-up.  A little more realistic and the radio stack is far less crowded looking now  8)

P.S.  When you doewnload this new B33 Deb assembley, I suggest going into your FS-9 gauges folder and deleting all the gauges from your current Deb installation.  There are a feew changes.

Hi Gary R ,
I don't know why I could not find it before and thought I had searched about as you indicated .  I'll try again .  I failed to state that I have FS2002 Pro .   I love that cowling view  .  The wing views are also superb except I find the side views place the pilot too low .  Still a wonderful airplane and similar to a V-Tail I flew many hours .
Thanks ,
Jamie

If you have FS-2002 pro then the avionics upgrades I mentioned won't work either should you desire to try them.  However, look in the gauges library here or avsim.  You can find the Garmin gauges by Ike Slack, Coyote Avionics.  That package includes a Garmin 500 similar to the FS-2004 default version, a GNS-530 navcom with the FS GPS map displayed on it, and a GNS-430 navcom which is also a GPS hot switch by clicking the Direct-to button.  Also in his pack are the Garmin audio panel and the transponder.  They all work in FS9 also ecept for the Garmin 530 look alike and that's because the GPS map out-put is very different between FS-2002 and FS-9.  
Incidently, the first V-tail was based on the Deb airframe, i hear it is essentially unchanged since the Deb except that todays model is a little bit stretched from the early 60's.  Have fun.
