Hi Aharon.
I was a bit worried at first, until I found that MilViz have changed their name to Blackbird.

I was also a little miffed to see that several which I had previously paid for, are now free.

Unfortunately for me, a couple of desirables aren't FSX; I may try the P3D version and see if that works.

Thanks for the HU on this ;)

Thanks for the heads-up Aharon. I was excited to download the B737 - I liked the look of the gravel kit and rear intergal stairs so wanted to buy it years ago, but couldn't justify having the Milviz and Captainsim versions. I also downloaded the King Air.

The old adage "if it seems to be too good to be true...." certainly applies here :'(

Loading the B737 causes a CTD every time, and whilst I managed to get the King Air flying, there are nearly 200 missing cockpit sounds, panels that won't display and flaps which won't budge.

If anyone has better luck, please let me know!?

Happy weekend and TTFN,

Karl

From my place, it's been hit & miss.
Took the Otter (6Gb :-O ) out for a while last night, and although it was slow to load on my system, once it got going, it seemed to work fine.
It said it would install FSX + FSXSE side by side, but I had to do it twice to get it into each.
The Vought Corsair is supposed to be for P3D, and though it said it installed to FSX, it doesn't appear in FSX.
The Twin Comanche installed, and is in the file list, but doesn't appear in FSX :wall: It also was named MV Twinkie, making it harder to locate. It's shown to be for FSX and P3D, but the installation box only offers P3D :dunno:
The Cessna Bobcat failed to install about 20+ panel sounds, but otherwise appears to fly OK. it's POSSIBLE that the panel sounds relate to the weather radar/GPS options, which I MAY not have ticked in the setup, and were thus deemed not needed.
Mixed reaction, good luck everybody.
I'm going to delve into it more.
EDIT
The Comanche actually does appear in the list of aircraft when selecting "Change Aircraft". Despite the splashscreen title, and the "MV Twinkie" mentioned above, it is listed as "Piper Piston Twin." Why? You tell me.
Anyway, TOUGH! Because when selected, I'm told that it cannot be displayed. Then FSX crashes and re-starts. :'(
2nd EDIT
Told Malwarebytes not to interfere with the air or cfg files for the Comanche, made no difference.

Further posts at the outhouse provide a link to the old Milviz forums. A root round there can find the PC6 and the Huey for FSX - maybe others.

I found one link that seemed to be an older download for the Twin Comanche for FSX but the model does not show up. At least the B55 works fine in FSX!

The only link which I found asked US$19.99 or similar, but it did specify that it included the FSX installer.
Would have been good for free, but at current conversion rates, I'll live without it.
