Are there any freeware weapons packages or effects for FSX?

I looked for any freeware weapons for FSX but found only 1 at CaptainSim which wasn't free! The ones claiming to be free are Torrents that are most likely to be full of malware.

I got this little beauty and duct taped it to the nose of my aircraft! I'm looking for something to shoot!

Yeap, I saw that package I might have to break down and buy some weapons for my choppers it’s bad when they stick guns and rockets on the models but don’t give you anyway to fire them…

Yeah, I hear ya! I have a P-38 Lightning that's fun to fly but no way to load and/or fire the machine guns.

feel your pain too. i have a multitude of bombers and fighters that i would love to fire or drop things from. are the Captain Sim effects for any aircraft?

The absolute best part of flight sim is that it doesn't involve mixing it with childish morons shooting things down.

Go buy something else. I hear DCS is good for that sort of thing.

I have one plane, I forgot which, when you turn on the strobe switch (default 'O'), you would see muzzle fire.

Interesting. I think the absolute best part of flight sim is that I can configure it any way I want to in order to get the most out of it for my own enjoyment, and occasionally talk about it on flightsim forums. That's just me though.

Been searching the FlightSim sites for weapons that would work in FSX. The following video is the result I have gotten so far. After I have found all that are available I will make a modified aircraft cfg. file for this freeware helicopter and post it here at FlightSim.com. So you can copy and paste the weapons to what ever aircraft you prefer…

Sometimes weapons are needed to show a realistic recreation of a real world event...
