i think the "P" is for Piaggio?...i dont know...but i remember one of these 149's..(wait maybe its FW-149?) in FS9..has it been ported or anything to FSX?
 
Mario P-149D is still a very nice Port over :wavey: to FX

I had always hope Classic Hanger would do the FWP.149D for FSX :ernaehrung004:
Focke Wulf built around 190 of them for training aircraft I believe
 
I have the source files for that plane, I got them from Mario about 3 years ago for conversion to FSX. I'll see about rebooting my main mobo to retrieve the files and maybe start the conversion

A "Thanks for the H/U" might have worked better then. ;)

That would be awesome. Mario really did a terrific job with the 149. Several years ago I was privileged to fly front seat with the owner of a FW-149. He lived in Dallas and came up to North Texas Regional to see my boss and invite him to lunch. The boss in turn grabbed me and told me we were going to lunch, lol. Beautiful restoration inside and out. After Lunch we flew back to the airport and he let me fly her back. I guess I did a pretty decent job because as we got closer he asked if my license was current, lol. He was going to let me land the plane. . . .I was really, really tempted but admitted I didn't have a license so he took over in the pattern.

If you do find the time to work this airplane into your schedule, one thing that bothered me about Mario's version (and probably the only thing actually) was the size of the pilot and passenger based on the size of the airplane and what I remember from the flight. They could do with some upsizing, lol.
