jankees Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Elsewhere we had a small discussion regarding the pros and cons of freeware vs payware, and I mentioned that I did like freeware, so I thought I'd better prove it, so here's a few screenshots of freeware that I use on a regular basis and enjoy a lot. Both aircraft and ground textures are freeware in these shots. We saw earlier where von Peerhoven was living, well, this is where I live, at least part of the time, Hoeilaart, in Belgium, with the Mirage IIIC of Restauravia overhead: jk8505 same Mirage, different paintjob, over the Tasmania freebee from Orbx: jk8583 talking about Orbx freebees, this is Iceland, with the LDR Ryan Navion in an icelandic paintjob: jk8516 Default P3D P-38 in 1st FG colors over freeware Marche, Italy, by Mazzokan: ss17750 different paintjobs, same region: jk1980 One outstanding source for freeware is Milton Shupe, who produced a fantastic range of freeware aircraft. This is his Martin B-26 Marauder, in a French paintjob, approaching the Etna in Sicily. jk8537 and another paintjob, somewhere over Sicily photoreal by Mazzokan jk8524 another one by Milton, the Douglas A-20 Havoc, somewhere near Charleroi photoreal. Not sure where I found these ground textures of Belgium, but they were freeware. jk8511 Another source of great freeware is Manfred Jahn and his team, and I like their C-97 a lot, here over Tasmania: jk8593 and especially their C-47 with the vintage cockpit: jk8598 more in the reply Edited February 23, 2019 by jankees Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.

jankees Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 One more C-47, back over Belgium: jk8490 On sim-outhouse, you'll find this very aggressive looking P-61: jk8607 I haven't gotten it to work in P3D yet, but the Goose is also a very nice bird: ss10544 as is the B-25 Mitchell from Roy Chaffin: jk4712 and lets not forget the wonderful models by Dave Garwood, including this Hawker Hunter: jk1025 and finally, possibly my favorite freeware bird, the Grumman Duck by Paul Domingue: jk8571 jk0588 so no, you don't really need payware to enjoy yourself, and my apologies for the shameless plug of my repaints (which are also all free) Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.

This is the right one: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?linkid=19519&catid=37 Thank you, that's more like it. The first link was an FS9 model.

jankees Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I tried once again to get the Ozx Grumman Goose to work in P3D, but still no luck....so it's looking at old pics for me... I hope you don't mind I share a few? ss10974 ss10640 ss10805 ss11969 ss12393 ss10623 Such a fun aircraft. Was any of you able to get it to work in P3D4?
