The Douglas O-46 was the last of a line of Observation planes Douglas built for the USAAC. I had designed several of them for earlier versions of MSFS. I always thought the O-46 was the best looking of them so I chose it to redo for FSX. This is a FSX - Acceleration native model. It was created with FSDSv3.51 and FSDSXTweak 2.4.
It has the usual animations, reflective glass, working cowl flaps, some bump maps and .dds textures. I could not find any documentation about the cockpit so I modeled it after similar aircraft of the same era. It has a minimal 2D panel and the VC has animated flight controls and working gauges. Please note this project has not been tested with Vista (and DX 10) as I don't have them.
INSTALLATION: Unzip DougO46.zip into a temporary folder. Copy the folder Douglas O-46 into the Airplanes folder of FSX. Open the gauges folder and copy the contents into the Gauges folder of FSX. Make a copy of the .cab files in the respective panel folders of the Extra 300 and the DeHaviland Beaver and paste them into the gauges folder of FSX. That's it.
