The MAAM-SIM Douglas R4D DC-3 C-47 package is not only a great add-on for FS2004 and FS2002, but also for FSX. Thanks to a free FSX Basic Compatibility Update, you can install and use the FS9 aircraft in Flight Simulator X. The update addresses some of the vital issues in the aircraft and panel configuration files, and the gauge set. It also adds the thumbnail pictures required by the FSX Select Aircraft Menu. However, the update does not fix all the compatibility issues, such as flight dynamics and some cosmetic issues. The MAAM-SIM team is working on further updates to address these issues in the future.
If you want to enjoy the MAAM-SIM Douglas R4D DC-3 C-47 package in FSX without any stress or hassle, you might want to use some cheat codes to make your installation easier. Here are some tips and tricks that can help you:

If you installed the package and the update in separate folders, you need to copy some files from one folder to another. For example, if you installed the package in C:\MAAM-SIM\R4D_DC3_C47\ and the update in C:\MAAM-SIM\R4D_DC3_C47_FSX\, you need to copy all the files from C:\MAAM-SIM\R4D_DC3_C47_FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\MAAM-SIM R4D-6\ to C:\MAAM-SIM\R4D_DC3_C47\SimObjects\Airplanes\MAAM-SIM R4D-6\. Do this for all three aircraft models.
If you installed the package and the update in your FS9 and FSX folders respectively, you don't need to copy any files.
