FSX/FS9 Pilatus PC-7 Turbotrainer
Swiss turboprop training aircraft. Started the new market for turboprop trainers in late '70's. The PC-7 has proven itself with many air arms around the world. Several are also on the civil registers of several nations. This release includes 6 paint schemes. Will work in FS2004, with the usual tweaks..


1)After downloading the zip, locate it, and extract the file to a temp folder.

2)Copy the folder PC-7 over to your sim's aircraft folder

3)copy the pc-7.cab gauges files to your sim's gauges folder

4) Copy any effects files over to your sim's effects folder

5) Open the texture folder labeled "texture" (it's the first one), and copy the pc7_02, pc7_prop, pc7_glass, and pc7_placards textures, then paste them into the other folders. I did this to keep download size smaller.

BEFORE YOU FLY!.......
See steps 1 to 5 above:)


NOTAMS: Rear Seat VC version MAY be made. Final decision... who knows...



KNOWN BUGS: Canopy switch in VC will not move, but it will function properly, and open/close the canopy.

Enjoy!
This model was built to the best of my skills, knowledge, and simply to my own tastes and standards.
If something is "missing", or "wrong", oh well, you got it for a good price:-) For a one-man shop, I think I do pretty well:-p

As for repaints, new versions, etc. I have no idea if, when, or what. So please, no "placing orders".
These files shouldn't harm your computer, but I accept no responsability for their use and effect.
Play with it,do repaints, give to friends or enemies(SEE BELOW), but do not make money off of it without my express approval. This also goes for any other peoples' files in this release.

Also,if you want to re-post the plane, or its repaints, on your site, or another site, please ask me first:) I usually say yes, unless my plane been too corrupted or hacked by you or others.

I only upload to SurClaro, and Sim-Outhouse.com. If you find one of my planes anywhere else, I cannot guarantee its integrity. Whoever re-posted the plane might be better able to help you if you have any trouble, if he did any mods and left an e-mail addy
I have nothing against other sites, I just want to keep things simple, and easy to track.
Good Luck,
