Folks,

Bit of a long shot but I'd really like to have someone ID an aircraft from page 53 of PC Pilot Issue 52. Its the single prop aircraft in the top left of the page (with yellow markings and number 21 painted on it).

I've seen these aircraft stationed in Corfu airport, where I think they may be coast guard patrol planes.

Ideally I'd love to have a FSX model for them, with a good VC.

Thanks

The plane is a Air Tractor AT-802, used for crop spraying and the like.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the response - its the correct plane.

Having trouble finding a FSX compatible aircraft if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Thanks again Nic.

Hi again

The aircraft is on AVSIM but is a download for FS 2004. I don't run FSX but I think that some aircraft are compatible with it. I suppose you could try to use it in FSX if you are feeling brave enough.

Are FS2004 aircraft compatible with FSX?
- Yes, you should be able to fly FS2004 aircraft in FSX. However, some add-on aircraft may cause problems with certain gauges, modules or other additional software. Some payware developers released or will release updates in order to make their products compatible with FSX. Freeware developers may do the same if nessecery, but since it is their hobby and not their job, some might choose to move on with the development of new aircraft for FSX only and keep their current products for FS2004 only. Please check the aircraft list for information about the compatibility of various aircraft.
