Favorite Native FSX Freeware Aircraft?

Postby SeanTK » Mon Jul 13, 2009 1:14 pm

Yes, I'm aware of the stickied list on the top of the boards, but that blog posting was created in August of 2008. I am simply wondering if there are any other top quality, full FSX (not ports) freeware aircraft offerings out there now. The list above is pretty full and has good recommendations, but I find it hard to believe that that list includes EVERYTHING that is out there aircraft-wise, especially due to its age.
Any high quality aircraft type will fit the bill regardless of whether it is a sailplane, chopper, jet, or prop. Some personal favorites include Aerosoft's payware Catalina and Tim Conrad's freeware Embraer A-29.

If viewers could list a few freeware aircraft favorites with reasons behind their selections, it would be appreciated.

Mooney Mite M-18C
It's in the list, so you may have already tried it.
I like it because it flies beautifully, has gps (without having to bring up a onscreen gps), fair range and nice details. It's a joy to fly :)

I too would like a updated list of native models for FSX.

Brett Henderson's 177RG.

Although I've never flown  a real plane, you can tell there is something special about this one in it's level of realism in the flight dynamics.

Fly her right, and you feel smart, make a couple of stupid moves, and she'll punish you.  ;)

Yep, Brett and Alrot's aircrafts are excellent.

I also love Milton Shupe's Beech 18 and Spartan Executive

Yes, the Spartan and the Howard 500 were converted to FSX SP2 native format by some guys at SimOuthouse.
You can get them from fsnorthwest.net. It's free and you simply need to register to be able to download.
The Beech convertion is still a work in progress as far as I know.

Cha-Ching! I just d/l that Mite and it is a nice one. I can't figure out how to swap nav frequencies however. It's not even on my cheat sheet of keyboard commands.
