About This File

FSX Aero Commander-Meyers 200D. Four seat GA aircraft, originally made by Meyers, then production taken over by Aero Commander. Blessed with a strong airframe, speed, and smooth flying, the Meyers could have competed with any Bonanza type plane, had it better marketing and dealer support. This FSX model is based on a real Meyers 200D, and has two paint schemes, full animations and VC. NOT tested in Vista or DX10. By Tim Conrad.

Oh, this was a good one.

Mini-review: the textures on this one is minimal and only where needed, so this plane is very FPS friendly. The 3D/VC panel is crisp and clean. Easy to read/scan, too. The knobs and buttons are easily adjustable and accessible to my mouse. Flight dynamic seems well-designed, too; a smooth stable ride. Its 2D is unusual in that it doesn't have the typical panel layout as other FS planes would have. Instead, it's a fullscreen view with a right-side panel that contain just the radios, flap indicator, and trim indicator. For a 2008 MSFS plane, this is one plane that still holds up very well today. I'll be keeping this one in my hanger! (FSX-Steam, DX9)

So apparently this plane has two missing gauge files. One from the FSX default Grumman Goose (HSI), and the gauge file from the Grumman AA-5B (which is located on this page - http://simviation.com//simviation/static.php?ID=61&page=2), which I don't think is related to the OP's issue, but I like to have "error free" planes. :-)

 

The sound is alised to the default Maule M-7 (Lycoming IO-540-W), which is close to what this plane uses (Lycoming IO-520-A). Just an FYI for those that like to have sounds from the real plane.

 

I found some downsides to this plane. It lacks a proper 2-D panel, and the landing lights are barely brighter than the taxi lights. There's also a slight issue when, in external view, and pressing L to turn all the lights on, the view "swings" around the plane roughly 180 degrees.

 

The VC also contains TWO GPS', and the 2-D GPS isn't the correct one.

 

Other than that, this isn't a bad plane for freeware.
