Icon A5 for FSX, Freeware, by Dan Cowan, July 14, 2009.

To install just unzip the A5.zip file into your FSX SimObjects/Airplanes folder. Then start FSX and go flying. That's all there is to it. I consider this version 1.0 and plan on updating it with various enhancements as time permits. Enjoy

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  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. Place files per the readme

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. 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.

The aircraft installs fine. Once it's loaded, the aircraft is all white. No colors show outside or in. I'm sure this has something to do with the Preview DirectX 10. If I don't have the box selected, then I get a black screen when I hit fly. On my older PC, I had the box unselected and all was fine. Anyway, the aircraft did as expected. It was just void of textures.

    I encounter an error when trying to the A5 installer package. it is "The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author." Do you have any clues as to the software required? I have downloaded Abobe AIr. Please Help!!!
