FSX DeHavilland DH.80A Puss Moth

DeHavilland’s DH.80A Puss Moth brings classic light-aircraft flying to FSX with a native conversion, three variants including wheel skirts, standard gear, and skis, plus eight liveries. The model features wing folding, animated details, opening doors and windows, yoke toggle, and period-style airbrakes mapped to the flap control.

INSTALLATION

1. Open the aircraft folder and copy the dh80am folder to your FSX/Airplanes folder.

2. Open the effects folder and copy the two effects to your FSX/effects folder.

The following must be read to ensure understanding of some of the features and options.

NOTES:

I changed the manufacturer to de Havilland Melrose to differentiate the race setup from the standard setup.

FEATURES:

Wing Folding for storage requires the wing fold command setup in the FSX/Display/Assignments

Yoke Appear/Disappear: Slash key (spoilers)

Open left door: Shift-E-1
Open left door window: Shift-E-3
Open right door: Shift-E-2
Open right door window: Shift-E-4

Flaps: The DH.80a had no flaps but used airbrakes (activated by the flap key) providing drag by turning the upper and lower gear struts crossways to the wind.

Check the animated ASI on the wing

OPTIONS:

1. I provided many tank options in the aircraft.cfg for mileage ranges stated. Simply comment out the default and uncomment out the desired tankage.

2. The aircraft.cfg contact points section has two tailwheel setups; one castering, one steerable (default). Select the one you wish and comment out the other.

I hope this helps.

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.

    Cool little plane! The instruments are really easy to see. The graphics are excellent. It was a very easy download. A fun little plane to fly. A pleasant change of pace from flying the big jets. Good job! Thanks!

    It really feels like flying a historical plane.
