Can anyone tell me where I can find a nice, freeware download of a a Non-Turbo Amphib-Beaver? Or even a wheeled-Beaver? Must have a good VC.....

As opposed to the default FSX Beaver? (or did that come with Acceleration?)

I have Acceleration, and unfortunately the default Beaver is not an amphib.

As far as I know, you're looking at payware. I don't know of a freeware amphib beaver.....wish I did

Indeed the only amphib Beaver is payware. I wish the default were amphib too :/

Hi hagar,,

OK, thought I'd seen wheels embedded in the floats.

Yeah, that one's a sneaky trick. Floats only.

By non-turbo do you mean turbine?  Non turbo usually means a normally aspirated piston engine, instead of a turbocharger or supercharger, and I was not aware the Beaver came with such an engine.

Yes, I mean a radial engine powered Beaver as opposed to a Turbo-Beaver.

Any recommendations for a nive payware version then? Must have a good VC....

Don't own it myself, but a couple of members SimV have highly recommended it.

Definately recommend the Aerosoft Beaver.  It's a ton of fun.

About the Turbo/Turbine debate.  The turbine versions of the DeHavilland Beaver and Otter, DHC-2T and DHC-3T, and know as Turbo Beavers and Turbo Otters, even though they are not piston engines.

And the original Pratt radial in the Beaver is supercharged.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_R-985
