FSX Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian

The Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian brings the classic FS2004 default floatplane back for FSX, combining legacy and native files for reliable land-and-water operations. A polished VH-AUS repaint and a comfortable virtual cockpit presentation make it ideal for coastal hops, lake landings, and bush flying with the familiar Caravan handling.

A remake of the default FS2004 Cessna 208 Caravan amphibian so it can now be used in FSX. Uses a combination of both FS2004 and FSX files to make this all work. The original repaint is by Cristiano Magnani. Package by Ian Thatcher.

Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian-VH-AUS.

I have done this remake of the Default FS9 (FS2004) Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian so it can now be used in FSX. I have used a combination of both FS9 and FSX files to make this all work. The Original Repaint is by Cristiano Magnani. I find this Plane is best flown using Virtual Cockpit.

Installation: Just copy and paste the Folder into your FSX "SimObjectsAirplanes" folder and then open the "gauges folder" and then copy and paste these into the main FSX Gauges Folder.

WARNING: When you start FSX you will get two (2) warnings !!! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SAY YES TO INSTALL AND RUN THE GAUGES, YOU WILL ONLY GET THIS THE 1ST TIME YOU START FSX.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
Ian Thatcher
