This model is one of FS "Classics", I modified it somewhat and still fly it to do some Hurricane hunting in FSX with it´s NOA texture.......absolutely a classic.

Yes H,

Cheers,

Roger.

pS.
wait, are you talking about the model only, the texture or both ?

No, it is a texture that was done for the original Dash 7v1 back in 2002-3. I do not recall who did it but it should be at Flightsim.com.

***Roger*** · June 22nd, 2009, 10:45

Okay,
I've reuploaded the modified Spartan repaints and should be available when Douglas turns them on.

Cheers,

Roger.

**Paul K** · June 22nd, 2009, 15:29

They are available now; just downloaded them. Thanks, Roger .

Nope,not at Flightsim...Pls post a shot if you have it to see if is any resemblance..wich I doubt deeply.

Here ya go ...

**warchild** · June 23rd, 2009, 12:38

One huge favor i would like to ask of anyone updating the dash 7 for FSX is "Please dont touch the FDE?" it flies incredibly well in FSX with SP/2.. Making any changes to the flight model in my opinion would just be plane criminal..
Thanx..
Pam..

**Milton Shupe** · June 23rd, 2009, 15:57

LOL no, Ed Knapp I think did one but I can't tell if it is this one. The two are actually quite different. Look at the tail textures.

yago9 · June 24th, 2009, 21:50

lol..and the engines,and the fuselage and that one is photoreal when the other is not..Anyway ,not much substance other than this shot..lost it for good.

**Wild Bill Kelso** · September 20th, 2009, 04:09

Just in case you FSX hogs missed this one:

Just uploaded to flightsim and the Outhouse (FS2004 section).

This repaint was also tested in FSX SP1 and seems to work quite well with it (besides the usual gauge issues...).
Thumbnail and altered 'spinprop_t.bmp' texture (recommendation by Milton) included.

Cheers,
Markus.

**CG_1976** · September 20th, 2009, 10:20

See the neighbor thread for the sp2 spinprop_t.bmp.

FS2004 Canadian DeHavilland Dash 7 CC-132. Canadian Forces CC-132 fictitious yellow "FIP" repaint for the DeHavilland Dash 7. The real CC-132s never were painted in this yellow scheme, but inspired by the CC-115 'Buffalo' (DHC-5) and the CC-138 'Twin Otter' (DHC-6), this is how they may have looked.

Has anyone tested them with SP2 / Acceleration?
I wonder if there are any issues?

Cheers,
Markus.

I have installed the Dash 7V2a in my FSX SP2 installtion, Fixed the props.textrs.( Thanks Milton) For the file.

...But I am experiencing weird behavior with the Dash.

Everytime I load and fly it my graphics go haywire: I loose all textures, clouds and ground, form every view :isadizzy: I have to reload the sim and start a new flight. This only happenes with the Dash 7. Though I have a few addons installed.

...And I still have the issue with some gauges that don't load or get accepted. I managed most of them. But I still get when choosing the Dash:Aoaind;Lear-45.Radio...And then when the plane loads:Lear-45.Radio

Do I have the right Dash/ version for FSX SP2?,Or should it be

/VCMDLA? Downloaded the d7vcdal_u And installed. All the gauges showed up again. I guess the replacement of the Aircraft.cfg is at fault here. Took her for a short flight and ...Again the graphics went haywire...

Thanks.

**CG_1976** · October 8th, 2009, 05:18

I report no issues related to the FIP paint just a prop adjustment provided by Milton, no panel issues, only a annoying red light disco show in the VC.

**Milton Shupe** · October 8th, 2009, 05:27

Not sure what version you have but here is the link from my site for the FS9 version with all updates applied:

**Mobayrasta** · October 8th, 2009, 06:08

Earlier in this thread Milton said he does not have the resourses to developep for FSX. If that means he needs a new computer and he would develop for FSX I would gladly chip in.

Berlopez · October 8th, 2009, 06:21

Hello Milton: Thanks for the link. I downloaded a new file.It was the same I was using. Same issue with the gauges. i had managed to edit out HGHB_ALTWARN_LIGHT...

Now with the new file all the '98 gauges show again. I also downloaded and tried the file d7vcmdla-update-2 ( Which as it says in the read-me has not been tested in FSX...Didn't work for me either)

And I can't find them all, not even in the .gau (zip) files; I wonder if anyone could share a panel.cfg that is already fixed?

Thank you but not necessary. That is very kind.

I have since upgraded and can run FSX beautifully now.

I do not have that gauge in my panel.cfg ... attached.

Berlopez · October 8th, 2009, 11:49

Hello Milton: thank you forthe panel.cfg. I inmediately got on to installing it...

...Along with other fixing I have had to do to my installation of the Dash 7 in my FSX SP2.

Went on to load and all the gauges '98 came up again

...obviously with a new .cfg file that hasn't been edited. So I went on to edit it again...Found the HGHB_ALTWARN_LIGHT [vcockpit+02] gauge02 and [window03] gauge00 I put two(//) in front. But I cannot find any of the other gauges anywhere.

aoaind
PJD Hydraulic Pressure (shows twice.)
Lear-45.Radio ( Shows also twice).
HGHB-ALTWARN_Light or ALTALERT

I checked the .cab files and s earched all over FSX and computer...

I'm lost in this install. Where can they be?

**Milton Shupe** · October 8th, 2009, 15:24

I posted my panel.cfg out my FSX SP2 ACCEL Dash7v2a folder.

Maybe you need to update your .cab files.

http://www.flightsimonline.com/downloads/ST_Dash.CAB

http://www.flightsimonline.com/downloads/annun.CAB

Put these into your Panel folder.
