FSX AI Gates Learjet 23

Gates Learjet 23 brings the classic early business jet into FSX as a flyable two-aircraft pack, pairing Henry Tomkiewicz’s white base model with Tom Tiedman’s blue-and-white N6599T repaint. It uses the default Lear 45 panel, gauges, and sounds, adds menu thumbnails, and includes an FSX-compatible engine smoke effect.

WHY?

I guess because this one's a bit personal for me, in that the continued lack of a Lear 23 for FSX makes me feel a bit sad, being that the Lear 23 is without a doubt (and this is not open to debate) the most tremendously beautiful, awe inspiring, monumentally gorgeous jet airplane ever manufactured throughout the entire history of aviation! That's why.

CREDITS:

To Henry Tokiewicz, for his AI Lear 23 as well as the many other wonderful aircraft he has freely given us all. And to the original author of the "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file, whoever you are.

Tom Tiedman

INSTALLATION: 5 easy steps!

1.) Copy and paste the entire "Gates Lear 23" folder into your FSX "Airplanes" folder.

2.) Copy and paste the enclosed FSX default "Lear_45_XML" gauges cab. file into your FSX "Gauges" folder (if you haven't already done that before).

3.) Copy and paste the enclosed "fx_smoke_f6.fx" file into your FSX "Effects" folder. (It's probably there already, so look first).

4.) Copy and paste all of the [SMOKESYSTEM] info. below into your Gates Lear 23 "aircraft.cfg" file (then click 'file', then click 'save', of course). I pasted mine between the [Views] section and the [LIGHTS] section with good results.

5.) Find your Lear 23 under "Gates" in your airplane menu, press your "I" key while flying this sweetest of sweethearts and enjoy the smoke!

    Nice piece of work, but the reverse animation doesn't work, and neither does reverse thrust itself, and the cockpit windows look completely matte and untransparent from the outside.
