Downwind66 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I don't know how many C-45 Expeditor downloads I went thru, before I found this one, one that everything actually works! He's not as pretty as the smaller D-18S, but he cruises around 186 KIAS (2100 rpm / 32" MP). He "Boots, Scoots and Boogies!" for sure!

mrzippy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not too shabby! Although, a little metal polish goes a long way....plus a hell of a lot of elbow grease!:cool: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not too shabby! Although, a little metal polish goes a long way....plus a hell of a lot of elbow grease!:cool: Tell me about it. When I was a little guy, my Grand Father had a Cessna 180, 1953/54 Era, and he would always, say, "come on Rick, let's go flying!" Well, before we could even try to get off the ground, he would open his trunk to his '57 Ford, and pull out all his assorted polishes. His 180 was bare metal with a cranberry red trim to it. He eventually had the whole plane painted, Yellow, black and white! I don't know how, but I still like the shine of bare metal, but back when I was little, I hated it! This is the base model, I will find another repaint/texture to go with it! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I had a nicer looking C-45, but I just couldn't get the props to work properly. This download doesn't have the shine and luster that I love to see with polished bare aluminum, BUT, it does perform flawlessly! I'll take performance over looks any day! Anyway, thanks for the comments! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Could you tell us where you got it? Sorry, Sparky - I just now read your reply. Had the shelves in my garage, one side, came tumbling down last night. Fixed now, but what a mess! I found this download on a site called Perfect Flight, do a search for Beech C45 Expeditor, it's the download by Mark Rooks, file name is c45fsx.zip. I really didn't have to tweek it very much. I have a collection of 8 - Beech D18S aircraft and I have a favorite panel I use for those, which I also chose to use in this aircraft. This download is not as pretty as my 18's, but it does perform a lot better! @@@@@ Sparky - I just opened the zip file and there was one thing a little hokey about this download. Mark Rooks chose a DC3 panel for this aircraft. That would probably work okay, I have a DC3 panel in a B25, only because i wasn't getting good RPM out of the aircraft with the original panel. DC3 panel made that all better! If you want to try the download the way it is, let me know if you like it. I might have some suggestions on what you might be able to do for another panel. @@@@@ Perfect Flight, there is no sign-in requirement, so it's fairly easy to download from them. Try the download, I am very pleased with it! Enjoy! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Made this meme back in May, and I think it may be appropriate given the topic at hand. LOL! OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky347 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 No problem Rick. Couldn't find it at Perfect Flight with your link. Likely my fault. Not an expert by a long shot with these things. Did find it with peer's kink tho. I like the plane from the outside. Seems to handle well too. Too bad it uses the DC-3 cockpit. Also it records as a D-18 in the logbook and shows as a D-18 in the hangar. Why doesn't it show as a C-45? You mention about an idea for a different panel. Likely would be wasting you time for me. Not an expert with these things> Someone else might be able to use it tho. Up to you. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Here was my original Beech C-45 download, I really liked this texture, but I couldn't get the RPM higher than 2000 RPM, so out of frustration, I deleted it. Tonight, I decided to re-download it and work it a little bit. First attempt RPM's were up to around 2100, second try started acting up again. I walked outside to check our Christmas lights we put up yesterday, came back in and RPM's are up where they belong, airspeed is good again, and I have another pretty keeper! Download on this site if anyone needs it CP-45G.ZIP. Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
