Looking for opinions

[olderndirt]

Looking for a reasonably fast single engine payware/freeware, with the best, smoothest gauges for instrument flight.

Hi olderndirt.

I'd suggest the freeware Cessna C150 by 'Fravin' (here http://www.fs-tutorials.com/en/down_plane_C150_01.php) which requires you to fly in VC view as it doesn't have a 2D panel. Worth a look.

that is a great little plane......but it ain't fast...
I would suggest you spend a little time looking around at the carenado site, I have their c182,piper Dakota,and their c206. All of which I can't say enough about......perhaps their mooney might be a good choice for what you are looking for

Micro and Rom - thanks for the input.

Try the freeware Socata TBM 700 single engine turboprop, available here in the library.

Unfortunately I did not recognize that you may be asking for FSX aircraft.

This is the page with the original TBM 700:

Just one file.....

And this looks like an unofficial third-party update which I have not tried:

May I assume that your gauges are now working, and the plane is functional in whatever sim you are using? (No guarantees in X, but it should be brilliant in 2004.)

Try the RealAir Spitfire, awesome kite

The second (larger) file is excellent and I'm working on a little knowledge of turboprops.
