If it's an AI plane, drop a panel folder into the aircraft's main folder, this will make it appear as a selectable plane.

Ok, that worked, i now have the Goose, but how do i get the Gauges to show up in VC? (Ps. I used the Deluxe 747 Panel from SimV ;))


I'd like to know that, too, 'cause I've made it flyable the same way (tho
I didn't use a 4-jet-powerd cockpit for a 2-prop-engine bird).

But I guess it's not that easy, fixing gauges to a VC...  :-/

I guess you need the Deluxe gauges, I'm not sure you I can give them to you( EULA ). I didn't think you could get the Goose as an ai plane.

Hopefully I'm not breaking the law.

Im not supposed to be flying this plane so what diff does it make?
Send it to my email (tjlovescars@aol.com)

No reason you can't convert AI-only aircraft to flyable. Lots of people have done that before now but the gauges won't be any use without the correct panel. Even then, I'm surprised it has a VC.

The 747 panel is hardly suitable for a twin-engined prop. Aliasing the panel to a default aircraft like the DC-3 would be much better.

I cant help but step in here..  Planes like the Goose, and especially the Maule, have spectacularly realistic VCs. Either one of them by themselves is a payware worthy aircraft worth of the price of the deluxe edition, all by itself.

You're going to get several years of enjoyment out of FSX, and piecing together flyable AI versions of these planes doesn't come close to enjoying the full version.

Save all this time and effort (even at minimum wage, you're gonna end up using $100 worth of your time) and just go get the deluxe version... you won't regret it  ;)
