This is an update of the Cessna 185 VH_DGL by JRLucariny. I have updated the panel so it works in FSX. This aircraft flys OK but is missing the glass in FSX as far as I can tell. I am uploading it mainly because of the panel which I almost had done before I noticed about the glass. Bob Chicilo.

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.

    Aircraft works great, changed the sound folder to read c172 / change the 8 to a 7 and save go fly.

    Needs work on cockpit visual and sound. Works good flying, taking off, landing, etc.

    This download did not come with a sound file that worked. I had to use the sound file from the original FSX Cessna 172. Otherwise it seems quite good.
