Installation:

  • Extract the zip to a temporary folder or open it in Windows Explorer.
  • There are two subfolders: Effects and Simobjects. Copy these two folders directly to your main "Flight Simulator X" folder using "merge" or "integrate folders" mode when prompted (do NOT use "replace"). Should you have any misgivings about this procedure play it safe, i.e. copy the files and folders individually to the appropriate FSX folders.
  • The one aircraft provided in this version will show up as "Boeing KC-97G Stratotanker 30136" in the Simulator's aircraft selection menu.
  • When flying the aircraft for the first time you will be asked to accept four gauge modules as trusted software. These are widely used FS modules so you can safely OK them.

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.
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.

    Fantastic creation here. Enjoy this 97 SO much! Saw the real thing during the early '50s in Bermuda where I was born. Learned in them in USAF Tech School, Wichita Falls Texas. Love this Bird!

    A really cool cargo/tanker prop plane. Kind of fast, I've gotten almost 250 knots indicated in level flight. Very nice 3D panel.
