Almost 10 years on, Dreamwings' Fokker F-50 is still surprisingly good. If you're looking for Fokker and Dash 8 models, look no further. Dreamwings has a huge selection of them, any model and many...

The safest way is to land and release the barrels on the ground. Someone mentioned that in a blog. The problem then would be to find a straight and level field. There's hardly any clearing between...

Fair point, I wonder too. I can't see any small parachutes mounted either. What if you drop them into water or a small lake? Will they smash up or sink? Maybe the pilots took special classes in...

I came across these funny photos while searching some details about the many versions of the Spitfire. They mounted beer barrels where drop tanks/bombs should have been applied and dropped them down...

Many thanks, Glenn. It's easy & fun to make good screenshots when you're handed masterpieces like the Ju 52. I hope you'll get many slow moments with her! Speed is NOT everything. When Germany...

This is bloody good! Enough said.


The rare sight of six (of the eight) surviving Ju 52s flying in formation together. Now if you sent up the 12 surviving flying Hawker Hurricanes, then no no no,...

Here's another freeware gem from flightsim.com's huge archive. This one's for us slow beasts, the dc-3 folks. Ju 52 is even slower than the Dakota, with its massive wings and sturdy, rock solid...

Great job, Andrew! Norway's getting better and better. Thanks to you guys. Freeware does not get any better than this. You're f**king brilliant, the whole team. Compare with the real thing, posted by...

Yes, it needs some paint! Try Vincent van Gogh's below.

I came across some interesting photos of old, analogue flight simulators designed to train pilots with essential stick movements, plus, more importantly, flight navigation. The sixth illustration...

Most of the weird stuff, funny items, strange objects, are stored under the sub-menu FS2004 Other Aircraft. A title which is pretty misleading. What are we supposed to do then? Bring the vessels up...

More warbirds please. What a tough job it must have been, to land on a carrier deck with the hook down behind you, to grab the stop wire. There are many terrible videos on You Tube where they miss it...

Yes, don't blame Jan. Our Flying Dutchman is a hardworking individual, running a small successful enterprise from Schiphol airport, with the softest whip in the whole of Amsterdam. Bless him, curse...

I was having a quick smoke outside the hangar, afraid my lapdog would catch me, thinking, just like you folks, our hangars are too big. Anyone out there with less than 200 flyable aircraft? Hardly...

Some of the models have improved prop textures, like this one: FS2002/FS2004 Vallentuna Aviatorforening C-47B - filename: maamvaav.zip - (New Prop textures by Bob Rivera). You can peel them off and...

Wonderful shots, love them both. It's MAAM's Dc-3 & C-47? You can't beat their massive Dc-3/C-47 package. The cockpit is great too.

Many people here use FRAPS, the freeware version will save your screenshots as BMP files, which are too big to be uploaded at flightsim.com. You need to convert them to JPG, I'm using a small and...

It's so good this one, I'll post some more screenshots. More than 2800 of these are still flying today, most as military trainers for the old east-block countries. All Russian pilots were trained on...

Freeware does not get any better than this. Vit Storch's L-39C is on my top ten list, along with Kirk Olsson's F-16 and F-86 Sabre. It's simply wonderful, virtual cockpit too. The link is to his...

It's a good one, the old trainer from WW-2, released by now defunct publisher Alphasim. It's still available, now under the Virtavia label. You're getting this one and a specially made FSX-version in...

Designed in the 1950s to help farmers spray their huge American crop fields with pesticides, it's a very small double-decker with a strong engine. (Original powerplant: 1 × Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34AG...

Thank you, folks. Nothing's like the fowls of yesterday. A Griffon or Merlin engine sounds better than a modern jet. I've seen Spitfires and P-51s perform on flight-shows several times and they knock...

There is a freeware package in the archive here, FS2004 Hawker Hurricane Package (filename: aihrcn04.zip ), which is OK, but lacks the little extra; it's also difficult to run that one smoothly on...

Sometimes you go: WOW, this is just right! - as with this one, SkyUnlimited's Hawker Hurricane package. It flies stunningly accurate and beautiful, just check the YouTube videos of the model. It...

It was designed as "a highly manoeuvrable single seat low attack aircraft". It included a new rescue concept, the pilot would be knocked out through the bottom of the fuselage, like a champagne cork,...
