Since our geographic focus has shifted to the New [ March 18, by iBlueYonder. For every new project that crops up, time has to be taken away from other pursuits. Things that start off with a bang can fizzle under the weight of obligations, roadblocks, and just plain old running out of time.
Things that start off with a bang can fizzle under the weight of obligations, roadblocks, and just plain [ September 10, by iBlueYonder. Sorry to everyone who was enjoying my newly-revived Fanboy Friday posts. The best news is the professional part: my next airport is drawing nigh! Without further ado, say hello to S45 — Siletz Bay [ June 29, by iBlueYonder. I talk about a lot of payware add-ons on this blog. Luckily, two awesome addons that fit the bill perfectly cropped up in the last few days.
April 27, by iBlueYonder. This section covers all of the planes that you would find at your local airfield or airstrip, from training aircraft used for your private pilots license to acrobatic propeller driven aircraft.
Image shows a double engine private aircraft flying over West Texas using one of the add-ons for FSX. You don't always have to follow the "rules" when flying, you can simply jump in a smaller aircraft and go sight seeing.
General aviation aircraft are usually propeller driven and usually come in single or double engine versions depending on the size of the aircraft. This section is growing daily, covering many of the aircraft from names such as Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft and others well know in the private aviation field.
Almost all of the add-ons include detailed installation instructions to aid the user in getting the aircraft up and running in FSX. Each of the downloads include a description and information text from the developer, explaining the file in detail. This is the second most popular section, while the commercial jets is number one.
This was the first one that came to my mind. Lots of options available, not to mention some great repaints from "BananaBob". Alexander Alonso. Lately, it's been the Quest Kodiak and just picked up the Pilatus Porter on sale.
Having a blast. You get three different models, and you also get a Scout with tundra tyres and and amphibioous one. There's also a scenery included of a small airfield among mountains and woods.
Carenado has a c "bush" pack that has different configurations of the aircraft - amphibian, float, tundra wheels, and ski. I used to fly the Twotter quite a lot but like others have said, it's somewhat dated though I hear Aerosoft is working on a new one. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

They actually work better without the Acceleration add-on I recently reloaded a fresh version of X, this time without following up with Acceleration Wheels up, and I'm flying your aircraft with smiles all day.
Thanks for the great planes. Good post, thanks. People should also know that there are upgradable VC Virtual Cockpit textures with extra in-game uses so that we can all build up our knowledge of the great world of flight simulators.
I can now play FSX on my laptop with near full graphics. Believe it or not, lower settings with frame rate not set at unlimited makes the sim run terribly instead of better? Weird world we live in Also, check out FSpassengers, good fun flying real passengers and having an air hostess flirt with you mid-flight. Just one question. I've heard two different views. Hope you can she'd some light on this. When unzipping both with WinRar it give many errors and seems some files are missing.
Is it a problem with WinRar? Rimax - What errors are you getting - what do they say? Is it an error extracting the files or an error in FSX? Michael Braginsky - Thanks for letting me know that both work under Vista. I can confirm that both also work on Windows 7, however if somebody else can confirm that both work on Windows 8 that would be great.
Have to hand it to you Ian. I tried some of downloads from your best free ware for FSX a few months and they put me off freeware for life. Also didn't like your joystick article a few weeks ago. As I said before you should be incouraging those who are new to FSX to get a used or new Microsoft Sidewinder force feedback 2 rather than all that other crap. The Goshawk looks like good and looks fun so I'll try that too.
The rest look like they are almost certain to disappoint anyone used to payware 's, Q and the like. But they are free. We have downloaded Concorde from the free downloads, but then received this message - "Sorry, an error has occurred. This application could not be installed because the air file is damaged. Try obtaining a new air file from the application author.
Thanks Fred. David - Thank you for your comments regarding my previous article. I've really been selective with this article and tried my best to find freeware that really stands out from the rest.
The iFly is a great package, I'm sure you'll like it. Yes, I read your comment on the joystick article - in fact I will update the article to include the Sidewinder as you mentioned, I'll pencil that in now! Ian can you help me with this? I am a die hard fan of the Do you know if there is any cockpit for this file. Jon - I'm not sure the I listed above comes with a virtual cockpit I haven't tested for a VC myself as I never use them!
The documentation doesn't mention anything about a VC. However, there is a by Thomas Ruth that does include a VC. You can download Tomas Ruth's here. You mentioned that you never use a VC.
Is there some other type of cockpit that you can use in FSX? The download from this article has no cockpit at all. Ian, Is it possible to install other aircraft to add to the default traffic on FSX?
If so, how?? If I use WinRar I get a screen with an advertisment that several files can't be created. I notice that many of these error are related to textures files. All this files are empty while all others, panel, sound, model, effects, etc. Sometimes we spend money with addons that we verify later they barely worth it's value for money. Freeware sometimes surprises us with great quality addons. As always, this article is a great job. Thank you, Ian. Hello, The Cessna Citation is a really cool free download.
The sound is great and if you like small private jets, this one is fun to fly! David - I have now updated the joystick article and have included the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick as suggested! Jon - I never use the 3D virtual cockpits; I find them a bit annoying. I always use a 2D panel type cockpit. Use the 2D panel from the Thomas Ruth in the comments I posted above.
In fact, you may use any panel you prefer with any aircraft - all you have to do is edit the config files. Let me know how you get on. Check out our misc section here - it has many AI expansion packs such as this one. You may also find the AI Traffic Editor download we have here also very useful. Let me know if this helps. Sina - Thank you for confirming that! I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 8 soon myself in my virtual machine.
Manuel - Of course, that's the problem we always have with payware - especially the not so popular add-ons that have little or no reviews posted online. Thank you for your kind words Manuel. I'm glad you liked it! Am i doing something wrong? So I believe there's no problem with the files.
For the benefit of anyone contemplating an upgrade to Windows 8 - rest assured, FSX works just fine and smooth under Windows 8. No problems whatsoever. I've downloaded most of these packs and I am very impressed. I use this website a lot more than simviation. After watching this i have improved my graphics and performance of FSX by a serious amount.
I wished that Alejandro Lucena's Cessna Citation did not have that co pilot. It is just an annoyance. I wished that there was a way to eliminate that co pilot. I have recently downloaded two of the free aircraft models from your list.
The Project Opensky and the Cirrus Neither seem to include virtual cockpits. The Cirrus download specifically mentions moving the content the gauges folder to the general gauges folder in FSX.
There was no gauges folder included in the download. What am I missing? Hi Ian Maybe I'm misreading your statement at the top but if you've configured your computer to dual-boot Windows 7 and Mac OSX I wonder if you have issues with partition sizes and file types.
I did this with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on Monday and can be taxing on the physical memory at times. Seems to me that we're asking more out of the machine in terms of rendering and RAM if it's set up this way, have you found similar results? I can run every thing under windows 8. Hello Ian, I was wondering about a kit plane a friend was considering..
The Glassair. Do you know if anyone has made a download for it? If they have, more than one offering? Is one better?
Thanks so much. Most of these planes don't work or require editing to work if you know how. Not worthy to be on this list Hi to all. I'm a Canadian and live in Kelowna, BC. We were one of the few places WestJet served when they first began operations with used B's. Love your site layout and will try the Hughes night stalkers since I actually flew the D for a few fun-filled years. It is one nice machine to fly.
Totally fingertip light as a feather controls. I can now accurately recreate everything except the paycheck! Have a nice day all. Sorry, he seems to be a hard-working simmer, but his visuals still have much to desire Why is the JustFlight not on here? It out performs any of the aircraft on this list, in my opinion.
It's almost like a free PMDG I downloaded the file "b I followed the installation guide but it never worked. It is a multi-texture file for FSX although I installed similar files before had no problem. I will be happy to have any advice on this. Could you also organize something like this but especially for single or twin-engine propeller aircraft? The photo of the Douglas C Skytrain V3 Beta is even very parable for everyone who does this very top site.
Yes, we will pen that in for a future article to come soon - featuring just propeller aircraft. Any particular models you're after?
I tried two planes. No engine sound, no sound, when raising or lowering the flaps, pushing buttons In my country flight simulation is not - shall I say - very popular - so is hard to find stuff and the type of stuff you offer - congratulations. Excellent work they do! I particularly continue using the FS9 that I find great. If possible, I would like you to include more about this simulator, thank you. I have spent many a happy hour going over most of the historic sites and retracing my late dad's steps whilst he was in the Royal Navy.
Regards Nick. I have reviewed with great interest the files presented and I thank you infinitely for your work. Of these 20 files, I had already downloaded the C Skytrain V3 some time ago and I really love it; It is one of the planes that I like the most and especially this improved version, its sound, textures, cabin, everything.
Of the scenarios, I stayed with Santa Lucia Island, which is really impressive for its beauty and textures details. I do this in different planes according to distances. Fly Away Simulation suggests that most of the aircraft and scenery are P3D compatible when in fact they are not. Saint Lucia Island Scenery, grenedinesv2 are just two off the top of my head that has phantom objects in the parking areas and runways.
The Nemeth Bros. Simmers beware.
