I haven't tried any of those but be careful with payware add on aircraft. There are some great ones out there but others aren't fit for freeware. I've downloaded a lot of great freeware aircraft. The only one payware one I've purchased so far wasn't half as good as those freebies.

With payware add ons you definately don't always get what you pay for.

Get the Dreamfleet 310. I haven't gotten it, but every aircraft put out by DF is top-quality and I know you won't be sorry.

I agree... Be careful.

Looking at your system specs, most addon aircraft you find will run on your system, no problem. But, if you run into a model, that's just the greatest of all times, and has so much detail, that it puts a big burden on your system. Especially RAM, you'll have problems.

Highly detailed, payware aircraft are great. But, if they crash your sim, when you try to get a Spot Plane view, then you won't be satisfied.

Been there, done that!

This pay period, buy one.  The next pay period buy another.  Then the next pay period buy the other.  They are both very cool and worth every penny.  They all come highly recomended by me.

Thanks Matt, but the only thing I run into payware vs. freeware... is often times, there doesn't seem to be very many freeware aircraft that I am searching for (primarily GA, such as a 210, 310, etc.

I have the 210 & BJ400:
The 210 is good,but nothing extraordinary about it.
The BJ400's default textures annoy me because they blur when you switch to external view (they clear up if you zoom in then out again).
A friend of mine bought the 310 and I think it's pretty good (but then I only flew it for about 15 minutes.lol).

If I were you, I would hold out untill it's confirmed that  the aircrafts are compatible with FS2004.

...........But that's just me ;)

Well,Carenado has said there will be a FS2004 version of the C210 (I think DF said the same for the C310)-I don't know about the BJ400 (guess I should check the site.lol)

Hey BE58D.
I have the Eaglesoft jet and just to let you know, it looks great but it wasn't that freindly on my frame rates. But then again, I really need to get a better video card. Actually, it was annoying. Has a pretty intense cockpit. Animated sounds and I have gotten a few repaints of it over at Avsim.
