Hi Steve,
Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately there will be no Dash 7 built true FSX by this team. However, if anyone wishes to redo it as a true FSX project, the Gmax source is available.
We do have an impending FSX compatible (port-over/pre-SP2/DX10) version near completion using all new gauges.
That model was like a simming milestone to me. One of those aircraft that really captures the spirit.. makes ya think you're really sitting in the cockpit, with some serious attention needed, on your part, as pilot. :ernae:

Wow, it looks good !
Personnaly I don't really care if it a port-over or a native model, as long as the port-over has not so much impact on the FPS. Since your Howard 500, your Spartan and your D18s had almost no impact at all, I'm pretty confident about your Dash
Awesome!! A port over is just as good in my book!
A try at a ported, native FSX model would be nice in order to learn some basics in FSX animations and texturing, but the first big problem for me is getting a GMax source model into 3DS Max without a hitch...
The skills learned will surely prove beneficial for my Do-328...
I've been trying to find an FSX-friendly panel for this plane. Any ideas? BTW Milton, thanks for all your work. I have enjoyed the AC500, Howard 500 and Spartan tremendously - they are absolutely outstanding!
Hi there...Long time I haven't visited here. had a terrible experience with my FSX SP2 somedays ago, ported over a plane from another forum and unfortunately I followed install intructions and didn't follow my gut. I said put simobjects folder, coming in the download after unzipped, into main FSX folder. Well...what happened... All my simobjects dissapeared. I then found the folder at the bottom of the FSX tree, Root folder And stupidly tried to move it back to its' original position, when dissaster!:faint:I dropped it . tried to restart the sim, but then of course it couldn't find any default planes to start with in any default flight. Then checked my stock of planes and all default planes were missing the .air file.
Today I did a repair installation and have managed to start it up again, but now most of my addons are missing the .air file.
The point here being I've been trying to reinstall Miltons' Dash 7 for FSX,( Dash 7 vcmdla) have managed so far. But still have the gauges issue when it loads... And I can't find a single of the gauges in the panel .cfg to (//) in front of them so they don't show at the beggining of loading. can anyone assist? I know this might be an old topic, Indulge me please.
Milton,
any chance of a version for SP2/accel?
I really enjoyed flying the ice patrol dash 7 in FS9.

Thanks all of you for the nice comments. Unfortunately, my 7-year old computer barely handles gmax and FS9 and that cannot be rectified anytime soon.
I have offered the gmax source to anyone who wishes to do a native FSX SP2 version but no takers.
Also, our texture artist has been tied down with RW concerns so the new FS9/FSX portover version is on hold.
If anyone here who has the Dash 7 components working (as well as they can) in FSX, I have no issue with you sharing your working solutions.
When/If we can get the new textures and paint kit available, I will gladly release a nicer Dash 7 for FS9/FSX(port).
You think about it ... if interested ... PM me.
I can only say I suppose so, "bang on my head" When I looked inside the neighbouring folders I didn't find any simobjects, they had all spread all over the FSX root folder " bang again on my head" Now I managed yesterday to run a repair and that did the trick. Except some of my .air files are missing on mu addons, but I can recover those easily, by unzipping again to a temp and c/p from in there...

I'm desperate! can anyone help me and send me the panel.cfg for the Dashvcmdla that doesn't allow the gauges to show when you load it; Please! I even tried the Dash 7 gauges update and that didn't help either...
Hi Guys
I love this aircraft - Thanks Milton.
I've searched, but can't find any repaints for it. Does anyone know if there are any?
Thanks
