Lyon's planes - will all of them work in FS2002?

Postby Keyne » Fri Aug 26, 2005 4:12 pm

I am checking out downloading some planes and noticed the awesome Bill Lyon's packages that are now freeware.  However, do they all work in FS2002 and FS2004?  Especially the Grumman goose.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

If nobody answers the best way to find out is to try it.

Hi Keyne,

Welcome to SimV :)

They should work perfectly well in FS 2004 as they were designed with FS 2004 in mind. However, you might find that the Flight Dynamics are a little off when comparing them in FS 2004 and FS 2002; this is because the two Sims handle Flight Dynamics a little differently. You may also have a problem displaying all the Gauges in FS 2002 as the Aircraft may call for some of the stock FS 2004 Gauges that are not present in FS 2002.

It might be a good idea to install the files to a Temporary Folder and then manually install the Aircraft and not the Scenery in FS 2002. FS 2004 and FS 2002 handle Scenery a little differently and they might not display where they were intended to in FS 2002!

Other than that, the Aircraft should work nicely in FS 2002 :)

Regards,
Stratobat

The good news is that they all display in FS2002.
However, none of them will fly in FS2002.  You will have to substitute alternate flight dynamics for each of them.

I've done the Stinson and the Pietenpol glider but I won't be passing on the work as I don't have permission to do so.

It was easy though and you shouldn't have any problems adapting the flight dynamics of something suitable....

For me the S-43, the Kellet, the Pietenpol Glieder and the Fords worked, but without gauges, but they displayed and they flew.

different stroke for different folks?


Have downloaded TRIPACER, GLOBE SWIFT & LUSCOMBE to fs2002 this past week, ALL  of 'em fly wonderfully and all display gauges.
