Fleet Links

Been a bit busy quite recently but I have had an idea to provide you with a list of links to make up your own complete freeware fleet. I'll be uploading one manufacturer a day starting tomorrow and will cover both FS9 and FSX though some FSX planes will require modification (see the tutorial in this blog for more details) to work in FSX.

Thanks and I hope this is of some help to you!

Power Saver Tip for Longer Flights

NOTE: This works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 with FSX. I would be very much obligied if someone could check if this works with FS9 for me.

---

So then, you want to fly all those long flights but don't have the time? You have been told to leave it on pause but don't want to pay huge electricity bills for your PC to run 100% power overnight. Well there may be a solution...

Aircraft Conversion Tutorial

Good Afternoon,

Today I will be putting up a tutorial teaching you how to use your favourite FS9 aircraft in FSX. Before I begin though there are several items I must get out of the way:

1. Any modification work undertaken using this tutorial is AT YOUR OWN RISK. Always back-up work and any files being used before starting. Under no circumstances, am I responsible for any form of damage caused through using this tutorial.

2. Any aircraft created using this tutorialare not to be redistributed without the consent of the original author of those files. This tutorial is for your own private use only. This tutorial is to be used for freeware files only.

3. You may find yourself unable to access or modify some of the file's mentioned in this tutorial. If you are having trouble accessing any files make sure you are opening files as the administrator or alternatively right click on the FSX folder, open properties and edit the security to give your user full control rights. This should allow you to access and edit any .cfg file.

Any further additions or edits will be made to this original post.

Thank you and I hope you find it useful.
