Mark, sorry for the late answer. I have found two problems: 1), When I change from VC to 2D view, the fuel tanks empty at a very fast pace, so I find myself with empty tanks in about 1 minute. I do not know how to solve this problem, being a computer illiterate. Probably a FS98 indicator issue, be cause when changing the view, I get the FS98 incompatible indicator warning. So I have to fly in VC view,. 2) The INS does not work, probably because one of the FS98 incompatible indicators. I solved this by installing the CIVA INS. Regards

I forgot to mention Ready for Pushback, 747-200, also a FS9 plane, now freewear, that may be used in FSX, if you can leave with the warning "this file was made for FS98, and is not compatible. I have not noticed any effect in FSX.J In order to downloade it, just create the a folder called "Aircaft", in FSX (that is where FS9 Aircrat are downloaded; and the folder that the installer will be searching) and download it there. Then just copy and paste the folders in "Aircraft" to the appropriate folder in FSX (FSX itself and airplanes). It may be downloaded from here: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=ready+for+pushback&CatID=fs2004ac&Go=Search Wrning: there ia an FSX version in other places that use the VC and 2D panel from the FS9 version, but subpanels from the FSX B737 default plane.

In the Freeware section I suggest: 1. Any of the David Maltbie planes, especially BAC 1-11 and HS 212 Trident. (do not let the piston head temp reach the red zone, or in a few seconds the engines will stop running, especially in the BAC 1.11, something not unusual when applying full power during the take off run). Made for FS9, they work perfectly in FSX. They may be downloaded from: http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/ It is advisable that you create a folder called Aircraft in FSX, and direct the installer to that folder, beacuse it is there (the old aircraft folder of FS9) where the installer will try to install the planes. Or if you have FS9, just install it in FS9, and then copy and paste the folders to FSX. Thre is somwhere also a BAC-1-11 adapted for FSX, but I do not remember where is it. 2. The TU-154 B2. which has been recently released for FSX by Project tupolev available here: http://www.protu-154.net/index_e.html . Probably the best freware plane, but with some inconveniences. First, it is a Russian plane, with metric figures, and Russian language; however it comes with a very comprehensive (around 170 pages) English manual, Second, the procedure to start the engines is quite long, and requires going to and from many of the subpanels. There is no Control+E shortcut. You can though save a fliigh in flight (I mean not on the ground), and resume it with engines running, although this not always works. Third, the navigation system is Russian, and dificult to understand, at least by me. All those inconveniences are forgotten once you fly the plane, since its flight dynamis are some of the best of any airplane in FS. You can see what I mean in the following link, or in any of the many videos on the TU-154 for FS9 and FSX in You tube. 3 NAMC Y-11, another FS9 aircraft adapted for FSX. The FS9/FSX version may be downloaded from SIMVIATION 4. HS 748 by Ricks Piper. You can downlood the FSX version here: http://www.cbfsim.org/CBFS_HOME.php 5 Savoia Marchetti S73 and S81, Made for FS9, they work well in FSX. New versions even label it for FS9/FSX. downloadable from SImviation. Look also Calclassic (for propeller driven aircrafts, especially their Constellations, and among them the L-1649) and Historic Jetliner Group (fot jets, especially their B737-200, and B707 with only 2D cockpit). Their are all FS9, but many include instructios to use them in FSX (although no suppoert is given for FSX. I hope this helps

Nikkia, you are right, ... and so am I. The RFP for FSX uses the VC and the 2D panels from the original for FS9. However, the subpanels are dafault B737 pañels.. Since I do not like that either, I have uninstalled the FSX RFP and I have copied the FS9 RFP folders (except for most liveries since I do not care having so many) in the appropiate places of FSX. Now I have a RFP that works in FSX inclusive of subpanels. The only probrem I have noticed so far is that whenever I load the plane, I get a warning that 2 indicators were designed for FS98, and are not compatible. This seems to have no effect on the aircraft, although it is certainly an inconvenience. I shall try and find compatible replacements form other airplanes, I found this same prblrm brfotr when copying F9 panels into FSX. Regards

I downloaded the file (do not remember if it was from Avsim or Simviation) RFPB747-200_X.zip It works beautifully.
