Boeing C-97G / EC-97G / HC-97G Stratofreighters and KC-97G Stratotanker update. Previous installation of basepack "FSX Boeing C-97 V.1 Beta" (FSX_BOEING_C97_V1B.ZIP) required for Ted Wolfgang's sound set. This update adds the EC-97G and HC-97G Freighter models and modifies the (K)C-97G models to be able to use a GPU cart and a fire extinguisher bottle. Various issues have been addressed and some minor corrections are included as options. By Roland Berger (testing), Manfred Jahn (models, textures, monitor gauge), William N. Davidson (testing), Dan McManus (technical research, VC and panel textures, crew calls) Wayne Tudor (Flight Data Envelope), Ted Wolfgang (sound set). Interior model adapted from Greg Pepper's original FS2002 model.

  • Please make sure you already have a working installation of the Team Strat "Boeing_C-97" in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes". If not present, download and install basepack "FSX Boeing C-97 V.1 Beta" first.
  • In folder "Boeing_C-97" make a backup copy of your current aircraft.cfg, calling it aircraft.cfg-bak. If you have made custom changes to the panel.cfg, you might want a panel.cfg-bak copy as well.
  • Extract the zip to a temporary folder or open it in Windows Explorer.
  • Copy the files and folders at the root level of the zip into your FSX "Boeing_C-97" folder. Accept "replace" mode on files and folders when prompted.
  • Carefully merge aircraft.cfg and aircraft-cfg-bak. Generally you only need your fltsim sections from aircraft.cfg-bak, but you may want to keep other custom changes as well. Make sure your fltsim sections are numbered in proper sequence.
  • Note there is an "Optional" folder. This contains some effects and nonessential corrections that were distributed via informal patches earlier. See the special readme file for details.
  • In FSX you may again be prompted to accept some gauge modules as trusted software. These are widely used FS modules.

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.

    Any chance of getting a reworking of the boom using a door animation so it works in multiplayer?
