Any cool freeware planes in the works? Tim? Paul? Anyone?Buehler?

Seems like it's been forever since I hit this forum and saw news of a cool new freeware plane for FSX. Flightsim.com's "new FSX files" library is almost all repaints for payware planes, and a cool-looking-but-really-fs2004 Stuka. Avsim's FSX Original Aircraft library is all repainted 787s and updated afs-design "demo" planes.

I'm super-excited about the upcoming P-61, I figure (and hope!) Piglet's working on something quietly while the flying wing ferments a bit, I'm sure Paul Clawson has some awesome classic aircraft in the works, and I think there's another attempt in the works of bringing the S-O B-26 over to native FSX.

Anyone else know of anything cool in the works in the native FSX freeware department? Anyone have an upcoming project they want to brag about? :)
 
I do have a Douglas B-18A in the works (exterior is done, but just starting the vc) and am updating my earlier Cessna 120 to be FSX native. It has a completely new vc. :kilroy:

Best, Paul
 
Project Tupolev has an Ilyushin Il-62 in the works. They are mostly done with the exterior, and are currently working on 3D gauges for the VC right now.
Will be a highly detailed systems simulation that's not for the casual sim crowd.
(PT released a highly detailed, FSX-native Tu-154B-2 in early December.)

As with all of PT's addons, the Il-62 will be free.
 
I've started blowing up the polycount on the CV-580 and basically redid the VC. Can't continue due to not having my FSX PC available though. Hence, the release in fall 2017 might have to be postponed.
 
Piglets got an XB-35 flying wing in the woirks
Paul has a Grumman duck coming along fantastically
Robert just released his PL-4 by Paszmany
Miltons got the SA-2 Tracker for FS9
Rob and I have the SOH P-61 going strong
Project Tupolev have a couple different projects in the works
and the list goes on..
 
I stumbled across a few freeware planes once, there was a chopper or two there as well, I'm gonna include it them as well, feeling generous.


So first is, a familiar one if you don't have it yet, is the re-furbished Grumman Goose by Oz-X in HD
http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/633-ozx-grumman-goose-hd-redux-120/

Then there is the Airbus Project (airbus a318/19) **Important** seems like these guys made it difficult to install it because you have to put the pices together, It took me 2 hours to figure it out. If you would like the project airbus a318 in working state please send me a PM so I can pass it on so all the hard work as been cut out.It's a really great baby airbus, worth a fly.

This one is a chopper, it's Bell 206 FSX, re-furbished by Oz-x everything is straight forward here
http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/338-default-bell-206-hd-ozx-redux/

This is another chopper, FSX Piasecki H-21C Package. Very nice chopper to fly, very straightforward

It's about all I can think of,
Gabe:guinness:
 
Thanks, folks! Some good stuff coming, sounds like. I hadn't seen anything new for a while, but I think that might have just been the holiday lull, as I'm happily enjoying my new Sea Venom! (And wondering how the Brits manage to make both the most beautiful [Spitfire] planes and hideous monstrosities like their 50's jets. :)

For the folks posting links to planes that are out now, there's an awesome list of already available freeware planes in this S-O topic. I'd recommend you check that out and see if there are any gems you've missed!
 
Denny, wash your mouth out with soap :icon_lol:

I''ll give you the Hawker P.1052, P.1081 and Hunter. Then theres the Fairy Delta 2 and the Saro.53

We'll just ignore a certain rather nippy brute with vertically staked avons :kilroy:

G'day Big Mike,

Glad you like that one....It's been one of my favorite add-ons, I could not belive it was freeware. I certainly aprove of this freeware heli to be top of the line.As you noticed, realistic VC one of my highlights. :jump: Say Is that Naked Blonde I see there :kilroy:? If you still have a sharp eye, you might notice a few "design flaws" found this site here on the chopper, could fix them up.

Gabe,
i really like this thing,but i`m still searching the naked Blonde:icon_lol:.
Well,i noticed of course these few "design flaws",but they don`t take the fun off.
You are right,the VC is payware quality,the sound is very good and it flies as i would expect it.
The site is very informative--thank you.
Great find!:icon29:
