| Hi!
California Classic Propliners is devoted to the Microsoft Flight
Simulator simulation of the propliners flying in California, from the
DC-3 to the final glory days (before the mid 1970's). Welcome!
|

This page will generally be limited to post-WWII propliners that flew in or into California on a scheduled or regular charter basis, and US carriers will have priority. (I hope others will develop similar pages for other areas and for later /earlier airliners - let me know and I'll set up a link!) I would like to thank everyone who has built, modified, or helped with the planes on this page.

FSX Information: FSX (FS10) has been released. I bought it, I installed it. I have determined that my sceneries are not compatible. Therefore, I have decided not to pursue creating addons for FSX at this time; we will still be creating for FS2004. However, see below for compatibility information. You can keep up with the latest news at the many FSX forums (AVSIM, flightsim.com, simflight, etc.), or at the Microsoft FS Insider site. Most of my (i.e. Greg Pepper's) propliners (i.e. the CV-340, etc.) have been tested in FSX and they seem to work OK. Newer XML style gauges and panels appear to work best - old FS98 style gauges (developed as late as 2002) will not work in the sim. Thus my v6 panels are NOT compatible - use the latest XML panels. Engine start switches have the most problems in those panels. Sounds are OK as is. It looks like my classic scenery is NOT compatible. FS2004 Information: The more recent GMAX and FSDS2 aircraft should display fine. You can tell which planes are GMAX and FSDS2 aircraft on these pages by the fact that the plane's picture is larger than the older, incompatible planes. Do you need help with installation? How do I get my plane listed properly in the Select Aircraft menu? How do I get ATC to call my plane using the correct airline, manufacturer, and model? Take a look here first! Note: Many of these files are located in the AVSIM file library. You need to be logged in to their file system before the links will work directly. |

This is an exhaustive tutorial that takes you through the details of each phase of flight, and comes complete with approach plates for visual aids (Adobe Acrobat required to view/print approach plates). The complete tutorial is 1.1 MB. I printed it, read it, and now keep it by my computer for ready reference! Copyright FSAviator July 2004.

Jets are for kids!
Instructions for many problems and how to install aircraft, panels, and sounds here.
My other interests include railroads (especially Alco diesels and the WP), computers, camping, fly fishing, and Modoc County (far northeast California). Drop by again - soon!
