Hello Lads... ;D...!

I know it's early days yet, but has anyone spotted any nice, compatible Cessna 150 or 152 Trainers for FSX....;)...!

I've done a search through the major sites...no luck so far...:'(...!

...(Notice that MS left every-ones favourite Trainer aircraft out of FSX...AGAIN!...)..... >:(...!

Cheers all...;D...!

Paul...(Low....and mostly slow!)....8)...!

Have you tried your favourite FS9 versions? This Cessna 150 Aerobat works in the FSX Demo. http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props20.htm
There are lots of repaints available for it.

PS. The registration doesn't seem to display on my system. That's no big deal. IMHO

The only trouble I find is that most/all of my desired FS 2004 aircraft have their gauges, etc aliased to the contents of the FS 2004 Gauge Folder, and it involves a lot of work... :'(...tracing them and copying them into the FSX Gauge Folder... :o...!

I have my favourite CC-KAA and CC-KDF 152's copied into the FSX Aircraft Folder, but of course, all the various gauges, (and some views, textures, etc) are missing 'cos they are in the FS 2004 Folder...!!
(and that is really too large in total to add to the contents of the FSX Gauges Folder).

In FS 2004 most of the add-on aircraft use the default FS 2004 gauges...so no problems there...

The only other option is to install, when available, the aircraft especially designed for FSX, (which may include the necessary, non-default gauges, etc), aliased to the default FSX gauges, ...;)...!

Cheers...!

Note: I have both full working versions FS 2004 and FSX installed and running on my HDD.

After-thought....is there a way of aliasing my FS 2004 aircraft gauges in FSX, to the Gauges Folder in my FS 2004...(if you know what I mean!)...;)...!

Hi Paul. I found another nice C150 here. http://www.simviation.com/fs2002props24.htm
Don't install the gauges.

You should only need to copy a few gauges for the panels to work as most of them will use the FS9 default gauges like Cessna.gau which is a cluster gauge containing all special Cessna gauges. I don't know which Cessna gauges are included with FSX but don't overwrite them with older versions.
