Santa was kind to me and I found a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X in my stocking. Does anyone have the Kitfox modeled for this sim?

Flying the de Havilland Beaver from Kenmore to Lake Cushman was a hoot!

The short answer to your inquiry as to whether there is a kitfox for MS FSX: 

No.



Six years ago there were several Kifoxes in the www.flightsim.com archives 

for FS2000, but they were uniformly awful recreations; just crude, clunky 

visual models attached to the flight dynamics of a Cessna or something. Back 

then the closest thing I found to a Kitfox was the Canadian Canuck 

bushplane, a fabulous freeware plane for FS2002 that handily mirrored the 

Kitfox in almost every way. And you got a floatplane besides.



It is still available at the above website, but only for FS2002.



I seriously doubt whether we will see it or any kind of Kitfox for FSX. The 

author of the Canuck has since moved on to designing planes for payware and 

with his talent he cannot be blamed, and an accurate model of the Kitfox 

would take a lot of time and would no doubt not be profitable in the 

Flightsim world.



But I would be glad should I be proven wrong. FSX, like all previous MS 

flightsims, is a fabulous product.

Santa must have had a few of those in stock as I received one to.  I have

yet to play yet as I don't have a DVD drive installed yet.  I hope to have

it in by the weekend.  From what it have heard,  there is no plans for a

kitfox that I could find on the web.  But who knows this time next year

somebody might get around to it.  Are the graphics as good as they say?

On my computer I have to switch to a higher resolution.  My normal

resolution is 800X600.  When I  first started the FS-X all the video options

were set at minimal so I went into options and cranked everything up.  Every

twenty minutes or so I will get a second or two video freeze so I would

suggest getting the biggest honkin' video board you can shoe horn into your

'puter.  This is a big program so lots of RAM and one of those new dual core

processors won't go astray.



To complete the install of your copy and use all the features you will have

to go online and register it.  After the program is registered you won't

have to insert the disk into the drive to operate the program.



The planes that are offered are getting wider and the process of choosing a

plane has changed to a thumbnail system that you can filter for specific

makes etc.  The included trike is quite a bit of fun.



On the other hand I still like flying my kitfox III, FS-9, which I modified

and repainted to closely mimic my own plane.  Too bad I haven't figured out

how to put it in floats... Yet!  Funny thing I have only flown my plane on

floats and I've only flown the Simplane on wheels.  I still have a bit of

work to do on it to get the radio to change frequencies.



Now for the bad news.... All those nice planes you have collected for your

FS 2004 won't work in X.  I guess it's just a matter of time before someone

comes up with a file converter.

I have a repaint and done a bit of tuning on a Sim'fox ... The radio won't

change frequency but if anyone knows where I can post a 2M file I'll put it

there.  I'd send it to anyone who wanted it but I'm stuck on the end of a

wet string (sloooow dial up)
