Good afternoon all... Smiley

I was wondering if someone could do this:

I believe it is "Mike Stone's" DHC-3 Otter "PZL" and make it to work better in Flight Simulator X.
The aircraft will show up but the cockpit is atrocious, not like FS 2004 at all.  Most of the switches in Flight Simulator X do not work.

Make an amphibious DHC-2 Beaver for Flight Simulator X as the float Beaver is very limited on where I can find docks and other float aircraft in Flight Simulator X.

This might be asking a lot but:

Make a new DHC-3 Otter, DHC-2 Beaver and Cessna 185 on:
Amphibious Floats
Wheel/Skis
Floats
Skis
It would be nice to see these aircraft in Canadian livery such as:
Royal Canadian Air Force
Austin Airways
Air Dale
White River Air Service
Department of Lands & Forests
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Other Canadian Bush Flying Companies

I know this is asking a lot... Smiley   Wink

For the Beaver issue....

In regard to the Otter and 185 mentioned, I'll afraid that I do not know of FSX compatible models at this time. (A 185 from Carenado would be nice!)
I know this is far from what you are requesting, but just so you know, Carenado does have two packages for around $13 each depicting a C-172 on skis, and one on non-amphibious floats. So far that is the closest you are going to get to a 185 to my knowledge, which I realize is not very close.

Thanks Sean, not sure when I can get to Toronto and Aviation World again but that is the only spot I think I can get the Beaver package from.  The Aviation World Website is being revamped so can not see it they have that in stock yet.
We were in their store several weeka ago on a friday and their stock was well picked over and they were waiting for another order.
That is where I purchased Flight 1 Software, USA Canada Alaska Ground Environment X from.

Again thanks for the link.   Wink

Well, I've had some very nice experiences with ordering addons online from companies such as Aerosoft, and as long as you print out your order confirmation info, there really should not be any issues when dealing with them if you have problems. (It may be even easier to do it this way if problems are encountered.)

If you insist on purchasing this addon in a physical shop, make sure you pick up the "X" version, due to the fact that I think there is an older purely 2004 boxed version out there too.

Here is a boxed "X" version you can order online if you want a physical copy rather than a download:

Glad to help. Let me know if you need any more assistance on this matter or more recommendations for bush aircraft!  Smiley

Excellent Sean...thank you...there will be a little something extra in your Christmas Stocking from Santa Clause this year as I am working on my letter now.     Wink

I have made notes about you, Hagar "Doug" and Fozzer "Paul" lately... Grin
