Oh boy,this is going to be skull diggin' for me, it's been a long time since I got the first file.Please forgive me if I am wrong, but the most it can costyou is some heavy download time....As I recall all the versions (including Jan Vissers PH-DDZ) can be downloaded from Roy Chaffin's site : http://www.roychaffin.com/rcs-panels.htmlGo to 'packages' (should be on the left somewhere)Then scroll all the way down and start downloading the FS2000 DC-3 models, the updates etc.These are all freeware as far as I can recall.Now the thing I am not entirely sure aboutis where the first FS2002 'patch' appeared, but I know I had it and it worked. Might have been from Trev's DC-3 site, I have no time to search for you right now.So the only cost involved then would be the $ 5 upgrade.If I am wrong, I do apologize.. trouble is I bought the CD (yes that's $ 25 and worth every cent of it for me, but that's personal) and I did not need the $ 5 upgrade (it's on the CD and anyway, the upgrade should be free for registered users after that). :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0][tr][td valign=bottom" align="center]"At home in the wild"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:avsim.com/alaska/alaska_051.htm|Don's Alaskan Bush Charters]"Beavers Lead the Way"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:www.avsim.com/vfr_center/mainpages/vfr_flights_main_page.htm]VFR Flight Center]"Looking Good Outside"[/td][/tr][tr][td valign=top" align="center]http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif[/td][td valign="top" align="left" colspan=2]http://www.fssupport.com/images/moose2.gif[/td][tr][/table]________________________Francois A.

Bonsoir Madame,"...am I wrong in thinking they want more than $5 for this plane?"Yep, you are :-) All you need is the free "visual model upgrade" (4.4 MB) and the "donationware" version 4.75 panel (22.4 MB).The registration fee of 5$ buys you a code to register the panel. The aircraft by Jan Visser is free of charge, and you can choose from a handful of liveries. Btw, the panel is "try before you buy" and functions for I think 10 minutes before the gauges blank out, enought time to try our suggestions above to "fix" the night lighting.If you need details on the files

Thanks Uwe !! I was wrestling with the 'rules' a bit myself ..:-lolBy the way, I sent you an email this morning, but got a message back that your ail box was full..... ;-)Kind regards, :-outta Francois :-wave[table border=0 cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0][tr][td valign=bottom" align="center]"At home in the wild"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:avsim.com/alaska/alaska_051.htm|Don's Alaskan Bush Charters]"Beavers Lead the Way"[/td][td valign=bottom" align="center][link:www.avsim.com/vfr_center/mainpages/vfr_flights_main_page.htm]VFR Flight Center]"Looking Good Outside"[/td][/tr][tr][td valign=top" align="center]http://avsim.com/hangar/air/bfu/logo70.gif[/td][td valign="top" align="left" colspan=2]http://www.fssupport.com/images/moose2.gif[/td][tr][/table]________________________Francois A.
