How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  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. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. 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.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Years ago, when I was painting my Corby Starlet G-CCXO after a major upgrade, I spotted it flying on the internet. Amazing - it hadn't yet flown in real life! I then realized it was a flight sim model, made from photos of XO I had placed on my website. I considered it a compliment.

    I downloaded the model and flew it on FSX. It was pretty good, but not perfect in terms of flight dynamics. I had some correspondence with the model writer to discuss these differences. He welcomed my first-hand knowledge and made adjustments to make match my aircraft (rate of climb, control response rate, glide angle, etc) and finally, I found it a very good simulation of my aircraft.

    I've stopped full-size flying now as my age advances, and I sold my aircraft in 2022 and started simming again. I have FSX and FS2020 on my new flight sim computer. Alas, I can't get this model to work in FS2020. Can anyone help me to convert it? Or is there a suitable model I can get? I'd really like to get XO flying in FS2020, I miss it! It is a brilliant little aircraft.

    Hi guys,

    I owned Starlet G-CCXO and was surprised when I saw images of it flying on the internet before I'd finsished it and given it its first flight!! Turned out you'd spotted my photos of it on my web site. I flew it on FSX many times, it was great.

    Alas a couple of years ago I gave up flying light aircraft and sold both my Starlet and Alpi P300. Recently I decided to get FS2020 and a gaming PC. That's working now, but I can't seem to load the Starlet onto it. Please would you tell me how to get my delightful little Starlet onto FS2020?

    Many thanks,
    Stuart

    A fun little plane! A pleasant change to flying "the big bad jets". Thanks, guys.

    I fly "lo n slo" just as I did in the "real" world. My First was a Quicksilver UL (I cannot find a sim model) then a Corbin Ace, Fisher Koala, and last, a Teenie Two ( can't find?) I downloaded a CORBY CJ 1, which is now my favorite sim plane to fly. It handles and flies like the real thing; a lot like my teenie 2 did. Whoever did this one really deserves an A+. It doesn't slide around on taxi, and handles great......thanx... Mr Skip
