FSX Mooney M-18C Mite N125C

This repainted package brings a distinctive look to a vintage single-seat cruiser originally introduced in the late 1940s. Created for Microsoft Flight Simulator X enthusiasts seeking an authentic representation of the classic M-18C airframe, it captures the unique style of aircraft registration N125C. Developed by Tim Conrad and painted by John Barner, this repaint set offers a carefully crafted livery reflecting the genuine appearance of the real-world model. Lovers of light aircraft will appreciate the Mite’s iconic layout, recognized for its low-wing profile combined with nimble handling characteristics.

Key Aspects of the M-18C Airframe

• Lightweight Design: This petite aircraft is known for its compact fuselage and reduced overall mass, which allows efficient flight performance.
• Single-Seat Cockpit: A solitary pilot station offers an immersive experience, making the Mite a sought-after option for personal recreational flying.
• Classic Styling: Post-war inspiration is evident, with a configuration that blends traditional aerodynamics and innovative engineering for its time.

Installation Guidelines

1. Prior to applying these textures, ensure you have Tim Conrad’s base model installed. The original file is required, and it is available in the Fly Away Simulation mod library.
2. Extract the contents of this new repaint package to a temporary folder.
3. Locate the M-18C aircraft folder in your “Airplanes” directory. Copy the included texture.N125c folder from your temporary location directly into the main M-18C folder.
4. Open the Aircraft.cfg file found there. Below the final [fltsim.*] entry, paste the following text, replacing xx with the next available number:
