Which sim do you need one for?

People don't really make planes for FS2002 still. Though you'll probably find an A-10 somewhere.

Thanks Shane .  I'll check these out as I have time .  The one I tried to get was A10A.zip

Hi Shane ,

The ones in Simviation are the one I had .  Not sure what the problem was with it , but seemed to have a bad file or ????  MY second download last night indicated that I needed to insert the CD ?????? May just be my PC ?

I just got the one fom AVSIM and is a great visual model , but has a default Lear panel with interior views , etc .  They usually recommend a panel , but none was suggested  .  I met an American Airlines pilot ( retired ) last night who flew the A10 and I thought he would find it remarkable to see how the planes and flight simulators have evolved for the PC . 

Thanks for all of your help Shane ,

Hello Hagar ,

May have just been my slow dial-up and a corrupted file ?   I too have downloaded hundreds and not seen that before .  I re-downloaded last night and it did not say that , but said something about file could not be copied , etc.   I also could not open the read me .  Most unusual !!
Thanks,
Jamie

Shane's 3 links all appear to be the same aircraft. I downloaded A10a.zip here. http://simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=75&page=26

It contains two versions of the A-10. Both are those awful auto-installers. I suspect this is the cause of your problem. I suggest trying again & redirect the extract path to a Temp folder.

You have to install A10_1 as it contains the panel & sound. A10_2 is aliased to it. Haven't tried it in FS2002 yet but the panel looks fine.

Hey Shane ,

You did fine and Hagar seems to be getting the A10 OK  .  Not sure why I had problems with it , but shall try it again .  I suspect my very slow dial up may be part of the problem .

Hi Hagar ,

That is a great looking panel . Thanks for taking the time to check the file .  I have not been able to get to the point that I have the option to direct it to my temporary folder so must have a corruped file .  I'll re-download again tonight .

thanks a lot ,

Jamie

Hello Hagar ,

I never got to that point so am sure it is corrupted .  I do know how to send things to a folder when given the opportunity , but simply could not open the install file so it just has to be bad .   Thanks again for trying it so I at least know the file is OK .  I'll let you know what I get when I download it again , but may be late tonight .

Thanks ,

Jamie

Hi Hagar ,

My operating system is normal I guess and runs on 110 Volts !!    Just kidding !!  I have XPSP2 .   When I unzip the file I get A10_1 and A10_2 .  When I open A10_1 I get three items --   Setup.exe file , Setup.lst and a cab file ( Webinblue ) .  When I attempt to run the exe file I get " could not open to file name -- etc. and then get a page that says Setip.lst could not be copied .  Setup cannot continue .

Gotta be a corrupted file ?????????  I just downloaded a Caribou and it came out fine , but did not have the automatic installers .

Hey Hagar ,

That does look very familiar !!   Must be the problem .

Thanks ,

Jamie

Can't see anything like that. I suspect it's one of the files posted on the earlier download pages. This is where I got mine. http://simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=75&page=26

PS. I expect the new zipfile included in your download is the same one I have,

Glad we finally got there.

I enjoy doing this sort of thing. Used to do a lot of it before things started getting complicated.

Hi, what are good payware and freeware A-10s for FS2004?

Cheers
