.Known Issues (V1.0)
Will roll back on start from runway- contact points not quite right??(hit the brakes)
No Altimeter - I don't know how to get this going
Flight model not accurate - It seems close and is fun to fly, appears to go ok on modern FM.
Brakes added - just edit them out of the config if you don't like them.
V1.1 Compass uncovered by clearing glass texture
If you want some more power use the config edit from PaulHolmes below in the comments
V1.2 Added legacy-vcockpits-instruments folder so the instruments are visible (hopefully)
V1.2a changed to zip for easier access
sorry fellas just my lack of knowledge about how it works....
Just a straight port over of this wonderfull FSX plane from Golden Age Simulations with some tweaks to make her fly in MSFS. I think it may be a while before we get a native Moth, so with permission from GAS, here they are.

There is a relatively easy fix for our problem with the SU5 update and it does not only work with the Gipsy Moth, it works with most of the FSX planes that we have converted to MSFS. Here's what you have to do:
Fly in windowed modeBefore you go into VC mode, move your mouse all the way up to the top of your screen, so that it doesn't touch the actual MSFS field of viewMove into VC mode and you will see that nothing happens, you can move around freely (I use my joystick for this) and you do not crash (DO NOT TOUCH YOUR MOUSE!!)But you'll notice that none of the gauges work. There is a fix for this too!Go back to external view and reload the planeMove your mouse again to the top of your screen and go back into VC modeVoila, most, if not all of your gauges work againDon't touch your mouse and enjoy flying the Gipsy Moth (and any other such plane)Some planes are upgraded FS9 planes, so if those planes do not show their gauges even after reloading the plane, you have to forget about that particular plane.I have over the last couple of months converted over 120 former FSX planes to work in MSFS. With this method,+ I still can enjoy over 70 of them, all with working gauges. I know that there is a method with Model Converter X (MCX) to make those planes work too. Problem is, since my latest PC upgrade, MCX refuses to function on my system, that is why I use my planes this way. Occasionally I forget to move the mouse up and have a CTD, but that's ok :-)

on step 5 of your fixes description, what do you mean with "reload the plane"? Cause i don't really understand what i have to do there..., and what is VC mode? Thanks in advice

Its the cockpits generally causing CTDs. They need a rework to remove the problems. If you are lucky enough to get into the cockpit then just leave it and fly. The instant you move a mouse across it then CTD.
On another note: here's a wonderful De Havilland that could benefit from some cockpit TLC... flies really well to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTj6nuco-1I

instant simulator crash out

A great airplane grounded by the latest update. First the textures were missing, then the hot fix started causing the plane to crash to the desktop.
Are you considering restoring this beautiful plane to flying condition? Many thanks for the flights I got to make in the wonderful blue Cirrus Moth.

Since latest MSFS update, it causes an CTD when you start flying this plane.

Really enjoyable low, slow VFR aircraft. Only reason I can't give it a five star is lack of Gauges working...but great job, with nice liveries too

Delightful aircraft, worth 5 stars when you get the instruments to reliably appear in their bezels. Unlike so many recent FSX conversions, your liveries are crisp and clear. Many thanks for your efforts.

Thanks sir,
thank Golden Age Simulations for their great plane though!

But without a great conversion all of their hard work could have been wasted. I realized that I forgot to put the legacy gauges package into Community. So right after I confirm everything is working, I'll up my review to 5 stars. Just wish I could buy you a coffee.
