Do you need to update the airfile so you can actually get it in the air without it flipping on its nose?
If I remember rightly I had that but got soooo peed off trying to take off.

I think I might contact the author and see If I may upload my FDs and no MIP textures as an update. I can send the FDs to you for testing if you'd like lemoncat (so I can get a second opinion on realism).

hi, i have alpha-sims dauntless for fs 2002 which i liked. is there any way to use that texture in fs2004, by manipulating it's files with those of the above?? it is now available as freeware on alpha-sim's site.
cheers, vic.

Great shots.
I have that same Dauntless myself and had to swap the air file too.
I love the paint job they have on it too.
Shame the wings don't fold though.

I was doing some browsing and found it at FSFreeware...
It kept doing propeller strikes though...
Also, I found a Cessna RG that has...night lighting and a VC!
