Is there a FSX version of the Spruce Goose? 

P. S.  You've inadvertantly "caps locked" your keyboard.

Thanks for fixing your keyboard. Wink

I don't know of any FSX Spruce Goose, and believe me, the FS9 one does not play well with FSX.  I tried.  None of the gauges worked that I could see (endlessly "okay" and "run" through all of them, plus, when it did spawn, it ran right up to 100 knots.  The props don't show correctly so it looks it's powered by 8 funky jet engines, and landing jumped the shark.  It would keep noseing down and never would get below 100 knots.

Flies okay. (shrug)

Not really worth the effort.

The only up-shot is that you appear in the co-pilot seat, and when you look left, there's Mr. H. at the controls.  But since he's a tight-wad, ehh. Cheesy
