I pefer real, native FSX models as much as the next fellow but remain an unashamed "Porter-Overer" - I will take the trouble to see what works (or works with a little fettling) vs what doesn't as there are of course many disappointments but also pleasant surprises.
This has recently become a bit of a production line in my quest to assess potential period historic AI aircraft to populate the Solomon Islands scenery in the works posted on another thread here. With the recent batch of Alphasim freeware - thank you again Phil - off I went to see how the AS Jug worked in FSX. Disappointment - lots of the expected gauge warning messages, but when the model appeared (which looked good), no gauges in both the VC and 2d panels. Trying the FDG2 P47 here at SOH, I had the same result BUT found this update and presto - with this, it looks and flies well with all VC gauges looking crisp and working well in Acceleration.
Give it a whirl.
PS - hunting for paints here by e.g. Cobrauk, Morton, Captain Kurt and Sopwith Chameleon, I found many broken links. Any leads, particulalry to PTO paints appreciated!
Have fun.

http://www.flightsim.com/n/p47raz.gif http://www.flightsim.com/wbicons/fcq1.gif FS2004/FSX P47 Razorback WW2 Fighter. When, in January 1943, the USAAF's 56th Fighter Group arrived in the United Kingdom with its massive Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, RAF Spitfire fighter pilots jokingly suggested that their American colleagues would be able to take evasive action, when attacked, by undoing their harnesses and dodging about the fuselages of their huge mounts. The Thunderbolt was certainly big, making it the largest and heaviest WWII single engined single-seat fighter ever built. Original .mdl by K. Malinowski, upgraded to FS2004/FSX by A. F. Scrub.
