The new AFG Caravelle loads and performs fine in FS.X

Is that the one they have the textures in FSX but you have to DL the "Basic" from FS9?  Yes, they are nice, but you do have to RTFM.  No "boot-n-scoot".   Wink

I don't know

All I know is I have many FS friends with FS.X and it runs no problem

Of course one should always RTFM so that should not be an issue.

It does work and show up

There must be a problem with how you are installing it

I'll have a look round and see if I can find anything out

Here's the FSX textures:

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/index.php?ID=60&page=1000

Which link to:

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?ID=83&page=5&mark=902

I downloaded the "VI-N'Altair'" and the "Procyon" and GISA" textures.  But I would think the others would work just as well, too.  The only thing I did was add the thumbs to the FS9 aircraft download texture folder (and yes, the smoke effects need to be rotated.) but other than that, they worked just fine (But again, you do have to read the manual, since they have it set up so engines are off, and though annoying, the fuel panel pops up on startup, and you have to flip all the right switches, and so on, and on...)

Thanks so much I feel like im flying the real thing, great airplane!

Although what do I need to activate on the cockpit to get the compass and altimeter to work right. The manual doesent really list it but I know there isnt any power going through it

You have to look in the manual, but there are "invisable" areas around the bottom and left sided of the 2D panel that you click and it brings up auxilery panels.  There on ther for powering the HSI and altimeter.  I think it's on the upper left.
