FSX Cessna 208B For FSX Carrier

The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan variant brings a short-deck challenge to FSX carriers with enlarged flaps for extra drag, stronger brakes, and improved reverse thrust to help stop on the limited runway. Derived from the FS2004 C208, it suits pilots who enjoy precise, low-speed carrier landings without catapults or cable traps.

After publishing my FSX AI Carrier package, I had several people contact me about cable trapping. Well obviously at the time of writing we can't do that. We need Pete Dowson to make us a new FSX FSUIPC for a start and then we need guys who are cleverer than me to work out how to use the data generated to create traps and catapults. But there is an alternative which is both challenging and good fun at the same time. As you know, the FSX carrier is on the small side and although anyone can land planes like the FSX Trike and the FS2004 Cub on it pretty easily, anything much bigger is not really on. So what I've done is modify the FS2004 Cessna Grand Caravan a wee bit. I've given it bigger flaps which obviously have quite a bit more drag. I've also beefed the brakes up a bit and given you a wee bit more reverse thrust. This baby you can land on the FSX carrier ........ if you're good enough! Based on the FS2004 C208 & compiled by Roger 'RollerBall' Mole.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    I think the tinkering you've done will make this an even more badass bush plane. Thanks.
