Can you recommend "realistic" freeware aircraft ?

[RobbySpike]

Hello,

I'm looking for free addon aircraft, featuring virtual cockpit, good (realistic) flight dynamics and modelled avionics. Is there free stuff around, that can compete with the payware stuff like cloud9 aircraft? Which addon can you recommend?

If you are just starting out in the Sim, then the Default Cessna 172 Trainer is a good start, and quite realistic in its flight dynamics.....!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004....FS Navigator... 8-)..!

The freeware (used to be payware) Realair Simulations Cessna trainer is supposedly even MORE realistic.

There is a really good french c150 out there that is easily payware quality, but the link I have for it no longer works  hopefully someone else can provide you with a current link

The french C-150 is just fantastic. Just a payware quality product.

For Heavier jets I recommend iFly Boeing 747. It is pretty well made.

Here's the link to the C150: http://www.fs-tutorials.com/en/down_plane_C150_01.php. Rumour has it that it works in FSX as well.

Rien Cornelissen's Piper Warrior v2 is also very realistic; this is the plane I'm learning to fly in, and it's reproduced very well. Available for FS9 and FSX - just google.

For good Scenery and aircraft you have to trust Sean. I don't know where he gets the time to download and find these things. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Concerning the freeware military jets for FS2004, the most realistic and complete packages I know about are the followings:

- Mirage 2000-N from Roland Laborie (look for the "basic pack" version, with nice photoreal repaints included). Nice exterior model, nice flight model, excellent virtual cockpit.

- Mirage IV from Roland Laborie, excellent flight model, excellent exterior model, excellent virtual cockpit.
http://www.simviation.com/fsxmilitary24.htm




- Mistubishi F-2 from FS-KBT team, excellent exterior model, excellent virtual cockpit, very nice flight model.
http://www.simviation.com/fsxmilitary24.htm


- F-5A Tiger from Tim Conrad, very nice exterior model, very nice virtual cockpit, nice flight model.
