Looking for a C150 (NOT a C152!)

What aircraft have you been unable to find after a long search? There may be an answer!

Looking for a C150 (NOT a C152!)

Postby beaky » Tue Mar 08, 2005 5:53 am

Having a hell of a time finding an actual Cessna 150 for FS9 (G model, pref.)... everybody seems to like to offer a "150" only to give you an Aerobat or other 152.  Guess you get what you pay for (free), so maybe I'll buy one. Search here yielded nothing. The "Point Cook 150"available here  is a 152; I already got it.    Anybody?

Sorry Rotty the only one I know of is the Aerobat, but I've had hours of fun in it ;D
Have you tried porting an FS2k2 model? There is one at http://www.simviation.com/fs2002props24.htm another at http://www.simviation.com/fs2002props26.htm(same model, different texture).

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Pete, that is an aerobat ::)

He wants a true 150, there aren't any for FS9 to my knowledge.

That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they

Of course I saw that Aerobat; I initially passed it up because I assumed that "150" was a misnomer (seen that elsewhere): I thought all Aerobats had a 110-hp engine like the 152 (150s have 100hp). But I just DLd it anyway, and discovered it supposedly packs a Textron 150hp engine!!
Eh, whatever; close enough (and it's aerobatic!). And I like it better than the " Point Cook" 152.
I was being anal about this only because I plan to resume RL flying soon, and will probably be renting 150s so I can save  money and thus fly more often... I want to devote some sim time to pre-flying planned trips in the 150, and practicing in general- wanted to match the real deal as closely as possible.
 It's weird; I can't even find a payware 150, other than Aerobats and mislabelled 152s... am I the only one who's willing to fly a nice old C-150?

Nope! I wish there was a plain '150 available for FS, they are one of my favourite light aircraft to fly! I'm in the process of modding the FDs of the Aerobat that pete linked to to make it fly like a 150 does.

Don't forget to share.... ;D. I really have to learn how to do that stuff. Then I have to clone myself so I'll have time for it.  ;D
