FS2004/FSX Sikorsky S-40 Amphibian, Fix For use if you are using FSX and the Sikorsky S-40 amphibians won't load any more. File S40NC81V.zip, with Sikorsky S-40 amphibians NC-80V "American Clipper" and NC-81V "Caribbean Clipper", can be used in FS2004 or FSX with the aircraft.cfg file supplied. However, the plane sits nose-high in the water in FSX. An alternate aircraft.cfg file for FSX was included, but it is missing the word "amphibian" in the "sim=" lines, and causes the planes not to load from FSX's list of aircraft. This fix contains the corrected alternate file and instructions.
