FSX Beechcraft D18S 3NM Floatplane

Beechcraft D18S 3NM Floatplane. These package is an FSX adaptation of the FS2004 D18S float cargo plane by Milton Shupe, presenting former RCAF Mk. 3NMT (CT-128) Expeditors, operated by two Canadian air companies - Kenora Air Service Ltd. (Kenora, Ontario) and Rusty Myers Flying Service Ltd. (Fort Frances, Ontario). The package includes two optional VC panels (VFR and IFR), authentic generally to those of former RCAF Twin Beeches, being operated now as float planes. FSX adoptation: VC panels, gauges, texture, aircraft and air files by Vladimir Gonchar.

Kenora Air Service offers fly-in fishing, sightseeing and shorelunch tours in lakes and woods of Caribou Provincial Park in Ontario and Atikaki Wilderness Park in Manitoba. Rusty Myers Flying Service provides transportation of people and goods to remote outposts located in the Wabakimi Provincial Park area of Ontario.

This package includes:
- original model and air files, basic texture and gauge pack by Milton Shupe;
- two optional VC panels (VFR and IFR) with necessary additional gauge collection made by me; the instrument panel composition is more or less authentic to those of Canadian Beech Mk.3 NMs, being used now as floatplanes;
- additional texture with new exterior, some modifications of the interior, new night panel illumination and prop files;
- corrected aircraft and air files (I changed engine data in accordance with FSX Grumman Goose file - same engine P&W R-985);
I use FSX default P&W R-985 sound and effects.

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE, PAY ATTANTION TO THE ENGINE START SEQUENCE (REFER TO THE CHECKLIST).
You should first engage the starter (the starter button is being pressed simultaneously with the ignition boost and primer buttons) and then move full forward a mixture lever.

INSTALLATION: Just put the content of the D18S_Rusty Myers_float folder (SimObjects and Gauges folders) to the main FSX folder.

Enjoy!
Vladimir Gonchar
