Looking for a Cessna 150 add-on for FS2004 (original links are dead)

C150 options for FS2004 (and how I’d go about finding the original French one)

Hi LTCSZ — you’re not imagining it. A lot of the older FS2004 C150 uploads (especially the French-language ones) were hosted on personal pages that disappeared years ago, so the “dead link” problem is pretty common with that era.

Rather than guessing and sending you on a wild goose chase, here’s the practical way I’d tackle it:

1) Narrow down which “French designer” C150 you mean
There were a few different French freeware authors/groups doing GA aircraft for FS9, and the only way to reliably track the correct file is to match one of these:

• Author/designer name (even partial)
• Exact aircraft folder name (if you ever had it installed)
• Panel/gauge clues (any gauge names you remember)
• Any screenshots you saw (paint scheme, VC/2D layout)
• The original site name (or the site language you recall)

2) Use the file libraries that still carry FS9-era packages
Most of the surviving FS2004 aircraft are preserved in the big flight sim file libraries. The trick is searching by multiple terms, for example:

• “C150” and “Cessna 150”
• “Reims” (some uploads get tagged oddly)
• Author name once you have it
• French terms like “Cessna 150F” or “C150F” if you saw that

If you tell me what library you were searching (and what search terms you used), I can suggest better keywords so you’re not wading through unrelated repaints.

3) If you just need a good FS2004 C150, not necessarily that exact one
There are a couple of decent freeware C150s and “150-style”/152-style options floating around for FS9, but which one makes sense depends on what you care about most:

• Good flight model vs. good visuals
• 2D panel/VC preference
• Classic steam gauges vs. anything modified

Once I know your preference, I can point you toward the most realistic “daily flyer” option for FS2004.

A couple quick questions so I can give you a precise pointer:

• Which file library/sites have you already checked (and what search terms did you use)?
• Do you remember any part of the author/designer name (even a few letters)?
• Are you specifically after the French-made model, or are you happy with any solid FS2004 C150?
