It's listed just as an FSX plane, but the documentation makes clear that it's for both FS9 and FSX.

"FS2004 / FSX (SP2 Acceleration compatible) Latécoère LATE 28 full package, with virtual cockpit. 3 versions (2 land and 1 seaplane), panel, animations, etc. by Patrice Grange.
The Laté 28 is the emblematic aircraft of the French Aéropostale during the early thirties. Linked with illustrous names like Mermoz, St-Exupery, Guillaumet, Dabry, Gimié, Collenot, Daurat, and all these legendary pioneers ... Used on the lines linking Toulouse, Casablanca, Dakar, St-Louis-du-Sénégal, Rio-de-Janeiro, Buenos-Aires, ...
The seaplane version "Comte-de-la-Vaulx", included in the package, achieved the first direct commercial flight across the South Atlantic on May 12th 1930, loaded with 200 kg of mail, operated by Jean Mermoz (pilot), Jean Dabry (navigator) and Léopold Gimié (radio).
In addition to the French Aéropostale, the Laté 28 was operated as well in Venezuela by the "Aviacion National Venezolana", on the line Maracaïbo-Ciudad-Bolivar.
The model has full moving parts and animations (control surfaces, opening doors, ladders, vintage mail bags and wooden boxes, ground staff, ...) + a custom panel + a Virtual Cockpit."
 
Id, say from the FSX sp2 end it is not Compatible. The 1st pic showing it in water shows a major prop problem in the alpha channel. It would work in FSX non sp2.
 
Nice airplane. Works fine in FSX Gold ed. Just change out the prop textures to something you like better. With the throttle closed, the hydro version taxis on the water @ around 30kts. Use F2 to slow down, stop and reverse.
 
The floatplane version is set up as a turboprop - copy the piston engine data from the landplane and it will be more realistic.
 
Ahhhh...coool. There was an FS98 model of this plane that I used to fly in CFS1. Seems a lifetime ago. This should be nice.
 
Another float plane!!!!! I love float planes. Downloading it now.

Lawdog did a very nice sound pack for the Hispano Suiza inline 12. Will work perfectly for this plane.
