Anybody tried porting this Cessna 150 to FSX?

It seems it's SP2 that's breaking it. I just reverted back to SP1 and everything works now:salute:. Nice.
 
Very nice:wiggle::

Really nice airplane. I just installed it in FSX/Accel and aside from a stronger than necessary reflection in the glass (which can be corrected), the aircraft itself is perfect. However none of the gauges display despite being XML gauges and despite having FSPanel Studio at my disposal, there was nothing I could do to correct the problem. I'm going to tone down the reflection and keep working with the gauges to see what I can do. I think it's worth working on.:salute:
 
Hmm perhaps the gauges do not display because they are masked by the gauge reflection texture ?

That's one thing, but there are also transparent rectangles that rotate with gauge needles, this is how it looks with SP2:

I'm getting closer. . .I've totally blacked out the alpha's on all the "reflective" textures and I have all the gauges back except 3. Two are showing the ground through the gauge face and one is just solid black. I'm going back in, lol, lol. . . .
 
Cool, I experimented also with alphas, and got some results. I used 50% gray on some of the reflections, but it didn't look so good. I think some of the fixable textures are inside the gauge file C150frav.CAB. Gotta dig in...
 
Stay with it guys. Almost there. This is one of the most immersive planes I have experienced in FS and closest to flying a small single engine plane IRL. It would be great to have this working in FSX. Like the taildragger option too.

Cheers

I agree. Vibrating cockpit, scratched and dirty windows, worn panelwork and great FD make this really immersive. The whole feel of sitting inside an aircraft is just spot on.
 
Haven't yet solved the last two gauges, but here is a translated description for the cfg file:

description = Production two-seat light aircraft from 1959 to 1977 built by the U.S. aircraft manufacturer Cessna. It is a very popular training aircraft and successor to the Cessna 120 and Cessna 140 which is distinguished by a tricycle gear and a motorized wing flap. These same aircraft continued to be powered by a Continental O-200 flat four-cylinder air-cooled 100 hp engine manufactured under license from Rolls-Royce. One version has basic aerobatic capabilities and was also produced under license in France by Reims Air Force under the designation Reims/Cessna F150. 25 years after the end of its production, the Cessna 150 training aircraft remains a very widely used airplane because of its robustness and ease of maintenance. A total of 23,949 Cessna 150's were built: 22,138 by Cessna in the United States, 734 aerobatic. 1764 by Reims Aviation in France, including 336 aerobatic. Finally 47 by Argentina, including 9 Aerobats. Source Wikipedia.
 
Yep Reddog, do a solid black alpha. . . .actually, for the gauges, not only did I black out the alpha, but I also had to knock out the actual texture to allow the gauge faces to show as well.:salute:

Not worth the hassle...have you tried the Just Flight freeware C-152..?

Whoa! Nice! Is there a layered Paint Kit in the payware version? Seriously tossing coins on getting the payware, especially if a Paint Kit is available (Is Mike Cyul reading this?). I have a friend who flies a 152 out of Colombia, SC., I did a repaint for the 150 mentioned for FS9. I have not tried porting that over and with the freeware Just Flight 152 in the link provided by Kilo, a big why?
