Agghh!! You just beat me to the post!

Downloading it now & will give a test flight in a wee bit (need to tidy up my Den/Hobby Room/Bedroom first!)

Keith.

Nope,

Just tried it in my P3D set up, you can see it in the aircraft selection screen but when you load up a flight with the plane it crashes to desktop!

Looks great in the screenies though!

Keith.

reason it crashes to your Roof-Top,,, did you add sum of this ?

you may need to add sum of this ?

I could read some information about this aircraft on other forums.
It seems it used to be payware, now freeware And it's in native FSX format (no transparency issues, no lights issues, no props behind clouds etc...)
The important information is about some of the systems, mainly the GPS, which requires some special installation process and can lead to crashing the sim if not installed correctly, or if the wrong version is installed.

Mine crashed FSX when I tried to load it. There was a message to the effect that it couldn't load a gauges file but I have not been able to locate it in the Zip file yet. I'll keep trying as it looks like a very good model.

This is when it is nice to have FSPANEL STUDIO it will check every gauge in any aircraft and let you know real quick if there is a problem. I always check out any aircraft I download this way before I try to fly it. You would be surprised as to the errors I sometimes find most of them are fixable some means swapping one gauge for another because they left the gauge out. FSPANEL STUDIO works with both FSX and FS9 I am not sure if it will work with prepar 3d though.
I have not checked that out Here is a link to there web page http://fspanelstudio.com
If you want to edit existing aircraft panels or design your own this is the tool you need. Trust me you do not have to have a PHD to use this program and there is a trail version which lets you try before you buy.

Same thing happened here. And when I try to delete it from my system I get the error 0x80070091. It won't delete. I have no problem deleting anything else from my system, but not this file. This file now looks very suspicious!

Download & install the KLN90B gauge from the link posted here --> http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/the-kln90b-for-fsx-prepar3d-in-beta.432845/

That should fix the error. It should work for FSX & P3D. Please read the instructions before installing.

I can't think why this would be. I had no problems deleting it.
