It's a fantastic aircraft .... hence the reason we plumped for using it in our weekly Multiplayer session.
No doubt it will be used again as we all enjoyed the experience immensely.

I was eagerly looking forward to downloading it......

That would take around three weeks to download on my 56k dial-up... :'(...!
LOL...!
Never mind... ::)...!

P.S. I have the smaller file size FS 2000/2002 version running in FS 2002... 8)...!

its probably one of thee best (or is the best) Freeware prop there is that I know of..... One flight in it and it was nice! The sounds, Just turn your sub woofers up a tad or two, I loved the start up so much I had to start her 60 times before I flew it  ;D I have no complaints! Its simply a marvel of work! Cheers, Gunny

...like to add that I have been "guilty" of not using installers in the past and even telling folk not to use them...BUT...I must say in this case the way to go IS to use it..........there is a little bonus at the end which is a super little tute for installing scenery...........cool....commoner ;)

I never use installers since I found that they have a nasty habit of overwriting important files and causing problems! E.G. Uninstal.exe!

I agree.  Absolutely no problems here.  ;)  And I agree it's probably one of the best props you can find out there...

Finally managed to download the file....
17 MB... :o...!

It took 3/4 of an hour on 56K Dial-up... :'(...!

Lovely model tho'.... ;D...!

It even has the missing prop included... ;)... ;D...!
LOL...!

Paul.

P.S. May try a sound file from a DH Beaver, (or similar), Pratt & Whitney, radial engine... ::)...!
Radials are normally "clattery" sounding engines...
The included Continental engine sounds, sound much too "smooth" to me....LOL... ;)... ;D...!
