Hi Larry, I had previously installed that version, no disrespect to anyone involved with it as I have zero FS modeling skills .... I really want an Aztec E with all the bells and whistles .... perhaps a future LDR Project .... hint! hint ! Mike :wavey:

Well it's a FS9 or FS2002 plane, so that was expectable.
I tried the original version in FSX a long time ago but had trouble with gauges and transparencies. I'm curious to try this updated version.
As for the "props behind clouds", I don't care since I'll fly it in P3D, where this problem doesn't exist anymore :)

Wow I did not know that info (reaching for Credit card /// and I had been doing so well up to now) :adoration:

This has always been one of my favourite aircraft in FS9.

Did someone not get the source files and right to upgrade all of Bill & Lynn Lyons' magnificent aircraft for FSX?

If so I would personally love to see this model done properly for FSX, but until then I will give this update a try.

thanks

For anyone interested in addressing the prop/cloud issue, the less common diameter of the Apache's props is matched by those of the Lionheart's Fairchild 24. Swapping these in solves the problem.

Now I'd like to know if it's possible to add 'tool tips' particularly for the throttle/prop/mix controls; and being able to swap in more up to date pilot and passenger figures would be nice too.
