I've been looking into this as Steve uses it for his Banff install. It seems this was most likely an Abacus aircraft based on my installs with FirePower and Abacus. Although it is called a FB XVIII/Tsetse, much of the actual data is based on a XV model. My and chatgpt's opinion is that this is a mishmash of the 2 with the original or subsequent designer making errors in either or the model(s) or in the description(s), so I intend to tidy it up as a Mkxviii, hopefully tomorrow.
 
OK, in fact in ETO there are 2, one mislabeled as an FAA aircraft and the other as RAF. I try and sort both out tomorrow.

I am not familiar with the Abacus model as I have been using The FBVI we created from Ted's NF mkxiii base model

AFAIK Ted never did an xviii Tetse. If he did I don't have it, only the 2 FB versions I mentioned above. In any case the blub in the xdps is incorrect WRT a Tetse, as is a xv.m3d in one which is a mishmash! The ETO readme is more interesting "ETO Mosquito 248 Squadron Coastal Command RAF.

I will sort out the xdps such as talking of pressurized cabind and supercharged engines. I think the cfg and air files reflect the correct engine/performance effecst though.
 
OK I have tested the 2 Mosquito FBxviii Tetses. The ETO_Mosq_XVIII which does not fly as a hi altitude ac, but the mosquito_fbxviii was overpowered, so it has the ETO cfg and air file to use now, and all references to any Mkxv removed. These both are in the ETO Expansion install. "
"Mosquito FB Mk XVIII "Tsetse" DM-E

This package contains a cleaned-up standalone version of the de Havilland Mosquito FB Mk XVIII "Tsetse" for Combat Flight Simulator 3.

The aircraft has been updated and reorganized to provide a dedicated FB XVIII installation with corrected naming and documentation. During preparation, redundant files were removed, aircraft references were standardized, and the aircraft description was revised to better reflect the operational role of the Mosquito FB XVIII in RAF Coastal Command service.

The FB XVIII was a specialised anti-shipping and anti-submarine strike aircraft armed with the Molins 57 mm cannon and was employed against German shipping and U-boats during the latter part of the war. Its heavy armament earned it the nickname "Tsetse."

This release has also been flight-tested to ensure performance is more representative of a low- to medium-altitude Coastal Command strike aircraft rather than a high-altitude Mosquito variant.

Credits for the original model, textures, and supporting files remain with their respective authors. This package is intended as a cleaned-up standalone update for Combat Flight Simulator 3 users."
