  • You must have Carenado's payware C185F Skywagon Bush for FSX installed.
  • Unzip the folder to your desktop. Open the unzipped MDIFW folder and place the texture.MDIFW folder and thumbnailX into your Carenado C185F Float folder.
  • Copy the entry below and paste it below the last aircraft in your aircraft.cfg file replacing the X in [fltsim.X] with the next number in sequence. Also replace the X in the ui_thumbnailfile=thumbnailX.jpg (the last line of the entry) and the actual thumbnail image itself (thumbnailX) with the next available thumbnail number in sequence.

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.
