Fleet 50

[Flying Trucker]

Good afternoon all...

Have not done a Cross Country Simulated Flight with this simulated aeroplane, but a short hop around the cabbage patch to show you folks what she looks like.

Thanks too all of you who helped get her working properly in FSX for me. The Contact Points change made all the difference and the short simulated flight was a lot of fun.

You guys sure know your stuff when it comes to this Hobby and these Electronic Gizmo's...

I changed the original sound to that of the Beech 18 on floats and that makes the simulated aeroplane even better.

Now all you have to do is fix that attitude indicator.
