Beechcraft D18S Port Over Final (Freeware)
- Thread starter Milton Shupe
- Start date
No issues here,Milton.
Fantastic model as usual.

Well, that is interesting.
Although I show the gauge cab in the package I uploaded, it does not appear in the download I just did. :-/
I will correct the archive. Meanwhile, attached is the gauge cab zipped.
Later: Okay, I see what I did. You will need both the attached cab files.
Just unzip and copy each of the cab files to your panel folder.
Revised Package Uploaded to include ...
I have revised the upload to include the 2 cab files as of now.
If you download after this post's timestamp, you should have all 3 cab files in the panel folder.
My apologies to those affected.
For those of you who were not affected, you likely had the ST_D18 and Tripacer.cab in your general FSX/Gauges folder.

Yes Mike.
That's one of the things that allow these issues to pop up on release.
I usually have the cabs in the generic gauges folder from previous like-releases.
So, the test works fine until someone grabs it who did not have the earlier release of this or a like-product.
It's one of the frustrating things that happen after so much testing. That's why a public beta is a good thing to do.
Unfortunately, I thought to include the cabs in the beta test but not in the final release.
Thank you Mike. Lots of appreciation for understanding and support for the many things required to be "right" to get these releases working for everyone.
Happy to keep plugging away here to bring some added joy to the hobby. I know that portovers are not for everyone but some do appreciate having at least a portover over nothing even though they are not much more than a poor substitute for a native version.
The Dash 7 textures are coming along very well. Mike Kelly is very maticulous about texture details and I am in no hurry. When its ready, you all will be first to know.

Beech D18S
Milton.
I have the previous version of the D18S in my FSX.
Should it be removed before I install you newest D18S Port Over??.
My the way.Yesterday I installed all your AVIA 51/56 and 156 models.I like all of them.I do enjoy the float and amphibian versions.I hope I can find some paints for them.I'm currently looking around for some on the Web.

Both versions will work together in one sim. You can keep the old one there.
Happy you like the Avia products. I am not aware of any repaints as I do not frequent other sites.
D18S
I just downloaded the D18S.Five minutes ago.I have been following this thread.
I have a couple of questions.
Since I just downloaded the D18S.Is this one the beta or the final version?
After I downloaded the plane.I looked inside the panel folder and the three .CAB file's ST_D18/ST_Xpnder and the Tripacer_DME are there.I looked inside my main FSX guages folder.The same .CAB files are there as well.These are dated 1/21/12.Will I experience any guage conflicts when I install the new D18S I just downloaded?.
I mentioned in a previous reply.The other Beech 18's I have installed is the Beechcraft MSA AT-11/C-45H Cargo and the Beechcraft MSA D18S passenger Amphibian.I guess this is why I have the same Guage .CAB files in my main FSX Guages folder.
I hope I don't have any plane conflicts,based on the others I have installed?.

If you downloaded from SOH just now, you have the final version of the D18S for FSX port-over.
You will have no issues with either set of the ST_D18.cab (or other cabs) with the D18S.
If you have these 3 cab files in your main gauges folder, you can delete the ones from the D18S folder. They have not changed.
Hope this helps.

Benoit,
Thank you very much for all your efforts on this. I was hoping someone would do it.

Big Brass visit Iwo Jima
Great aircraft Milton, thanks for making the Beech D18 available for FSX. Here we see the big brass visiting Iwo Jima once the island was secure and in operation supporting the big boy going to and from Japan. They chose the D18 to make the trip.

Might have double posted this,, mod, if so apologies, it is meant to be here.
Thanks again, Milton. Lovely to have this bird in my growing FSX stable. She flies great and looks great too. I installed some of the FS2004 textures but they failed to show. Is there a tweak for this, or should they show?

They should work fine JH. Check texture folder names against the cfg.
