Denis..you landed AGAIN WITHOUT FEET..     THATS IT CALL THE TOWER NOWWWWWWWW...[quote]Paul: Please excuse my last posts. Rather frustrated because I've landed the Mooney the last few flights with the gear up. As I say, FS is an intellectual challenge!

ROM:  Sorry for the typo. I meant FS not MS. I followed your  instructions and successfully downloaded the aircraft to the "My documents" section.  It now appears as a zipped folder, 15,358 KB.  I don't kow where to put it because I can't seem to find a folder dedicated to the FS program itself.  Now I am at a loss as to how to get it onscreen. When I log on to FS4000 I get the following message over the "century of flight" logo: "Requested flight is corrupted or can't be found."  I then get the regular default flights.   I know I am one step away from this but I don't know what the hell step to take!  lol  Any suggestions will be appreciated and excuse this woeful ignorance.   Denis

ROM:  Finally, success in the ongoing saga of downloading the Aeronica! The  problem was, as usual, due to my lack of knowledge re how files are kept. I worked it out finally and now have already flown the plane around Seattle. Low and slow and a far sight easier to land than the Cub.  You might be amused by my initial try to fly the plane. I sat on the runway giving it all throttle and hitting brake release and it wouldn't move. Totally dumbfounded, I couldn't understand why until I noticed that the flight was set for the  float version. lI switched to the wheeled version and  now all is well. lol Once again, thank you and all in here for your patience and assistance.  I am now gonna look for some more prop planes  to download.Was in Germany a few years back and a friend of mine took me for a quick hop in his Stork and I'm gonna see if I can find one. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm glad to hear you got it going.
Hear is a link to the main download section hear at Simv http://www.simviation.com/simviation/ so set aside AT LEAST a couple of hours  ;)........on a couple of days  ;D and enjoy browsing. at the top of that page there is a search function, you can click on it and type in whatever your looking for and it will bring up all the options, otherwise just open one of the sections and go page by page.
One really good plane you might want to check out is the maule 260 http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props54.htm it's a big 60mb download but is really an amasing plane.
I did a search for your Stork........no joy

There is a french manufactured version of the plane here (Morane Saulinier):

Tim "Piglet" Conrad has also made a classic German manufactured version for 2004 and FSX available on a few other sites.

One thought distantly  related to FS2004.  A week or so ago the media carried a story about a passenger who successfully landed an airplane (I didn't get what model) after the pilot died in the cockpit. I wonder if that passenger had  any experience in a flight sim? It's an intriquing  question. Anyone in here know?   Denis H

ROM & SEAN:  Thanks for the tips. I'm retired and have plenty of time. As I mentioned to a  friend the other day, getting involved in Flight Sim is far more interesting than hunting for nickels in the sand with a metal detector.   .

Is there any other sorts of aircraft your interested in checking out, or is it mostly old taildraggers that you are looking for?
Something else I just thought of that you would probably like is the Alphasim c170 that just got released as freeware

[Sean_TK]

Yes, please tell us what type of other aircraft you are interested in. I am aware of plenty, and can guide you to their location, and if need be, help you with the installation.

You fellas are gentlemen! As mentioned earlier, I have just started in FS and have just had a few weeks with it so  am a little intimidated at this point about advancing further than the Cessnas, Mooneys and, thanks to you guys, the Avvie C7. Also, I am studying the stuff in learning center and  have yet to get into navigation and radio protocol. I served in the USNavy  some years back but what navigation skills I had then are now pretty much  worthless. So I am a novice on all fronts. Maybe the multi-engines and  jets will be more  attractive when I'm not so dumb about all this. One thing, I am damned glad I  heard about this website. You guys are incredibly helpful courteous and humorous and we newbies appreciate it.

Q for Bret: Is that and RAF rig you've got on?

ROM:  Where can I find the Alphasim you mentioned?  Denis
