FSX Ultralight Halcom Starlite

Ultralight Halcom Starlite. The author's dream SLSA. The Rotax 912 engine is by Byron Warwick. This imaginary plane has twin flying rudders and a flying elevator. Construction should be from composites and aluminum. There is a bug in FSX that does not handle "parts within a part" textures correctly, you'll see it. By Don Halcom.

This flight simulator model has a lot of moving parts and the canopy opens. The exterior has reflective surfaces.

This is my preferred way of installing files but you use any method that you like. I use Windows Explorer.

1) Make a folder called "Temp" or "Crud" or anything you like in the root directory of Windows Explorer.

2) Unzip all the files and folders from the downloaded "strltfsx.zip" file to the folder you just made (for example "Temp").

3) Select the folder called "Halcom Starlite" and hit "ctrl-c" to copy the entire folder and its contents.

4) Go to the "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\airplanes" folder of your FSX flight simulator and paste (ctrl-v) the copied "Halcom Starlite" folder there.

5) Be sure to read the "READ_ME.txt" file in the "Temp" folder. That is it. If you wish you can delete your "Temp" folder now but I would save the downloaded "strltfsx.zip" file somewhere just in case of emergencies.

6) Go fly your new aircraft.

Enjoy
