So what exactly is the difference between this and the SimTech Beech 18 that was freeware years ago? It looks exactly the same to me in screens, and it's clearly not a native FSX model.

Ken, it's still operated by Crashwoody, no changes really other than that the old crewmembers are no longer aboard as I understand it.
Browse the archives for Tom's posts over the past couple of years and you'll get a picture.
Welcome back btw!:salute:
Unbelievable...FSX was released almost 4 years ago and some 'developers' are still selling FS9-portovers...

What is believeable is that 10's of thousands of simmers still fly and enjoy FS2004, FS2002, and FS98. I still develop for FS2004 and FS2002, and accommodate conversions to CFS2 and CFS3. There is still a large market for freeware and payware for these sims.
What is unbelieveable is that seasoned simmers would make a statement like this about a large swath of our community. Please keep comments in this and all threads pertinent to the topic.

You're absolutely right.
Now tell me, where is your FSX native Beech 18 that I can download for $7.50?

Milton,
I never said a word against the FS2004 or FS2002 users! Therefore I really can't understand your accusation.
We are here in the FSX forum and this Beech 18 is not a true FSX aircraft only a portover. That's all

Let's face it guys there are a number of excellent aircraft that convert well to FSX SP2 and FSX Accel with some minor modifications. I can't imagine a flight sim world without the A-26, the Grizzly, and a host of other great aircraft that simply are not available to us yet in FSX. I personally don't mind $7.50 for this particular port-over. It does however make you appreciate the high quality freeware port-overs even more. I don't fly much in fs9 so I'm glad to have them in the FSX world with the FTX and FSAddon scenery I love to fly in.

Tim,
Your comment was targeted to 'Developers' (who are diminished by your quotes) because they still provide for other than native FSX. The fact is many FSX users port-over even when we say "FS2004 Only". Developers who are kind enough to try to accommodate those who port-over should not be chided for doing so.

I happen to dissagree there.
The aircraft in question costs money (even if not much) and appears to be advertized as FS9/FSX.
It appears, judging by user commends, that it's not FSX native and not even the installer seems to do it's job.
Had been grand if the developer had stated something more as to the whatabouts rather than implying "FSX" while it is clearly not.
Apparently the label "FSX" on this plane is at least somewhat missleading.
As to the cold/dark engine start... Some of the versions of FSX use slightly different sim parameters and bvehaviors vary. If the engines do not start, increase the starter torque in the .cfg file from 1.3 to 1.7.
Accel seems to need a bit more torque than SP2.
