G'day MiltomThanks a bunch for ANOTHER wonderful a/c. It's a beauty.I have noticed that the 2 Hobbs meters HOBBS1 and HOBBS2 seem to be missing from the download - or maybe I have missed something?Thanks againBarry

That's amazing Barry!!! Somehow overlooked in the packaging of the panel and gauges. We are preparing an update. Thanks for the heads up. :-)

Amazing plane...I'm not one for tail-draggers...but this one sure is sweet. I've put in almost 3 hours on her and she handles like a dream. A HUGE thank you to the team who put this together!!Robert

Fantastic as usual,geat panel can't wait for all the repaints that will follow.I made a couple of changes in the panel file for the rear view and right rear view. The rear view seemed to have more of an uphill look to it when in level flight and I modified the RR veiw in the same way. Just personal tastes I guess...Great,great aircraft guys!!

May I make a suggestion Milton? Although I make it with some degree of hesitation as it would require time which you have already given above and beyond the call of "duty".I wager that there are many in our hobby who would be as fascinated as I to learn just how you go about producing an aircraft like your latest baby.Had you been part of a large group of paid specialists I would more readily understand but with your presumably limited resources (including the time required) I cannot even imagine how you achieved it.Would you consider writing us an article explaining in lay terms how a Sim aircraft is produced?Cliff

How about a World search for a P&W 985 sound package. This would make Milton's Beech perfect.Bob

Fantastic. when my d/l finishes, I'm going flying.Call me in a couple days. :)Beautiful aircraft guys, thanks so much!-JeremyThe Ozark DogfighterHappy Flying!

Awesome plane Thanks to Milton et al - what a great contribution.

wow what a fab plane ! and the engine smoke on startup is very cool. i have noticed that the front wheels only are slightly sunk into the tarmac so is there a way to raise them just a bit? i am using all default scenery.ThanksDavid

Okay, now I have an hour plus flying around...It is no longer MS FS2004, I am sorry to say. Well, at least it's no longer MicroSoft...its Milton Shupe (and Team!) Flight Sim 2004. Between the Shrike Commander, the Howard 500, and now the Beech (which was never on my 'must have list' until now), I'm going to delete the rest of the planes there, they take up too much room!Okay, ** aircraft stay...Seriously, outstanding, excellent, wonderful, any other adjectives you can think of in that vein.Issues:I also do not see where the Hobbs meters are, after the update.Also: set at cruise, 30" and 2,000 rpm, around 160+ KIAS the rpm needle starts a wild vibration. Easy fix is to set the rpm's at 2150 or so...but I thought I'd mention it.Again, what an outstanding job, to the entire team!Dan

does this plane have a AP at all?

The missing Hobbs Meters (Engine Hours) are now available as a download from teh FAQ's and Known Problems Support webpage.http://www.flightsimonline.com/d18s/faqs.htmThe Hobbs Meters are located on the Co-Pilot's kneepanel. :-)
