"FS9 Default Ford TRI-MOTOR Converted TO FSX"
"Will no longer work in FS9 in it's converted state"
I have given the Converted Ford TRI-MOTOR alot of new updates. If you have the Shockwave 3D Lights installed then you will have them here also. Along with better flight dynamics.
I have also added 12 new repaints, I have taken all the trouble for you by adding the free repaints that are always readily available. All the code has been written the panels and sounds are already installed all you have to do is download Install into your flightsim and have fun. What more can you ask for. So don't just sit there download and have some fun.
"Personal Comments"
You might be asking yourself why I am doing this. Well I am retired for one and it give's me something to do and I enjoy doing it. The other reason is I have over 10,000 aircraft and Helicopters that work in FS9 but not FSX so it might take me awhile but I am going to convert every single one of them to FSX. So they just don't die with FS9 and we can keep enjoying these beautiful art's of really hard work the designers put into them.
"Credits"
All repaints are the property of the original designers and I always give them credit for magnificent art work and talent for without whom I would never beable to put these packages together. And to the guy's that do such a fantastic job on the effects they create for these aircraft. I would like to say thank you and also for keeping it free.
"INSTALLATION"
