EV97 for flight sim 2004 & FSX

[ahlocks]

Just to get this section of the forum kick started again, I found a neat little add on for MS flight sim of the Evektor EV 97. The sportstar's older brother.

 

It's only been installed for a few hours but is working well on FSX. The visual representation is really well done. The flight modelling is very close and the sound is quite accurate.

 

No1 son spent most of xmas eve playing with the sim to the point that he even declined a trip to the airport to get some paperwork from the real one!

 

I'll add a links to the files if there's any interest.

 

Cheers,

 

Steven B

Hi Steven,

 

I passed these links on to a mate of mine who is right into flight sim. He has loaded the Eurostar and is flying it heaps.

 

I have not had a chance to get to his place and have a go, but he has sent me a couple of screen shots and it looks good. He even has his in the same colour scheme as 4010!!!!

 

Cheers

 

Mick

This is an awesome little aircraft!

I haven't mucked around with it for a while. Haven't flown the real one for over two weeks either.

 

The weather has sucked for the last couple of weekends and now there's bloody 'hoppers everywhere!

 

Might have to boot the FSX 'puter back up until the little mongrels rack off......

 

 

[Guest Brett Campany]

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms and just want to get back into the cockpit! This is the best I can do for now.

You could do worse! I found that it was good for circuit timing.

 

The FSX scenery is close enough for visual cues and the circuit times, with real time weather, were pretty well spot on. The modeller has done an exemplary job of it.

 

The locusts are now being notamed!!! Wonder if FSX has them??

Anyone know how to modify the panel to remove the attitude indicator and move a few gauges around?

 

I'd really like to emulate this panel if possible:

I hate to show my ignorance, but can anyone tell me how I go about downloading any of these aircraft to FSX?

 

Cheers,

There should be a "read me" file in the download that will have the instructions on where to put the files. Generally though the folder with the aircraft in it gets placed in simobjects/airplane and then copy and paste anything in the guages / effects folder and put them in the guages / effects folder under Flight Sim X on your computer.

Cheers - I'll give it a go.

 

Looks like I'll need to get winzip though - I already got the trial and my 45 days has expired.

 

 

[lazerin]

Seb, give 7-zip a try. It's free and will work with pretty much all different compression types.

 

 

[seb7701]

Champion. Was just in the process of uninstalling winzip to try and get another trial period!

 

Love my FSX, but have had a bugger of a time trying to work out how to install some new A/C. you guys might have all the answers!

 

 

[seb7701]

O.K., I know this is getting annoying, but having downloaded and unzipped, I swear I cannot find an 'aircraft' folder in my FSX program files folder to drop the new aircraft into.

 

Is it hiding under some other name or what is the go??

 

C'mon guys, I'm on the home stretch here.....

 

 

[seb7701]

Disregard- just found under simobjects etc.

 

Thanks all.

For those having problems with the Evektor banking left all the time, go to this post for the fix for straight and level flight.
