Hi guys, i've had FSX standard version for a month or so now, and i was wondering if it was possible if someone could create a ski plane for me to use since i don't want to go spend more money on the deluxe version just to use a ski plane, i really appreciate it if this could be done, tnx alot for all the awesome aircraft you guys supply us with daily  ;D

Hi Shadow. Have a look round the FS2004 section. Most FS9 aircraft work fine in FSX. Try the Aeronca Champ for starters.

Note: It comes with an auto-installer so direct the install path to a temp folder & install the files manually.

alright i'll try that tnx, what about needing an upgrade on the gauges and panels though?

It comes with its own panel that works fine. It also has a DVC. No upgrade required. I wouldn't have recommended it otherwise. Please try it.

tnx hagar, btw do you know of any twin turbo props on skis that will work with fsx?

I'm no expert on ski-planes. You could try the Twin Otter here. http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props107.htm

PS. I haven't tried it but I see no reason why it woudn't work in FSX. It's possible some of the gauges will be incompatible.

Edit. Ignore that for now. I just tried it & it will need updating.

ok tnx, do you know anybody who models aircraft that i could ask?

It's early days for proper FSX addons yet. FSX was only released a short time ago & many freeware developers won't even have it themselves. I suggest you look round Simviation & the other big sites either in the FSX or FS9 aircraft sections. It's quite possible that somebody will update that Twin Otter & other FS9 aircraft for FSX. That's the way it usually works until the developers get to grips with the new features.
