    Beech D18

    Hi All,
    A while back somebody put out a low cost version of the Beech D18 for FSX. Does anyone remember who it was and where I might have a look at it?

    Thanks in advance,
    mal

    CR-1's version sure looks nice, but Milton's is freeware and flies nicely, both the Fs9 and FSX versions.

    There is another nice adaptation of Milton Shupe's D-18 for FSX, with a more “post war” panel, which I really like. Looks for fsx_beech-c45h_expeditor.zip at FlightSim.com. Also, get the fix (fsx_c45h_fix.zip), which corrects the texture (spelling of “freight” on the side, hehe).

    Nice, but not native FsX I think? The one Alex links to above is a fully native FsX model (Hope we can get someone to convert the upcoming AT-11 Kansan as well.. )

    Who cares,Miltons fly great and look better than the payware one and there are lots of paints for it.If you want to pay for less go for it.

    Rgr Ferry, not native. Most of the time this doesn't bother me too much, especially in this case.

    First of all: I care because I like the bells and whistles that come with a true FsX model, and the one Alex links to is an FsX native conversion of Milton's 'old' Fs9 D18. (Which I have and which is why I have no interest in buying a D18.)

    Wow, in looking up the file name for the post I made about, I found two more D-18s based on Milton's Beechcraft at FlightSim with different, and beautiful panels.

    Civilian D18 cargo: fsx_beech3nm_n9540.zip
    Civilian D18 passenger: fsx_d18s_n412k.zip

    Good stuff. Non native, yes, but nice.

    First Class Sim - Discover the USA

    Anyone bought this yet? http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_i...oducts_id=2685

    More then likey its built from the ground up to be FSX native, but there aren't any shots of the VC.

    I really do not understand why FCS does this, they do this with other addons aswell, and the plane ends up having a dam nice VC. :mixedsmi:

    Kinda buying blind if you ask me, if only I could see the VC so I can make up my mind to buy or not!

    That doesnt look bad at all, but personally, i prefer Miltons..

    Well, that FCS Beech looks like a pretty nice model, but you're right, a $30 crapshoot is not my cup of tea. Unless we know what the VC looks like I'm not goin' there.

    I picked up the CR-1 model yesterday, and it's OK, but not quite the quality I'm looking for.

    I have Milton's and have had it since FS9 days, but honestly the VC shows it's age.

    No, what I'm after is a high quality model and VC along the lines of A2A or Vertigo or Carenado.

    And since that is not a current reality, I'll just have to make due with what I have....but hope burns brightly, so we'll see.

    I've been doing this since 1995 so I know how to be patient.

    I love Milton's aircraft but my FSX computer doesn't. I get a 5-10 fps drop by running FS9 aircraft, 5-10 frames which I can ill afford!!
