What do you think is the best vintage british aircraft in FSX? It must be freeware. Milton's Puss Moth is great in FSX.
 
If we're allowing ports Jim Douglass made a nice Gipsy Moth

Dave Garwood's Auster J1 Autocrat is a must have IMHO.

I just had to reformat my HD and reinstall FSX and the Autocrat was one of the first add-on aircraft that went back into my hangar.

Of course but being an old fart I didn't think of it as vintage:mixedsmi:
 
I still think that if says FSX in the title of the thread it should really be a 'native FSX', not everybody gets a nice smooth VC with portovers.

I know things like Rick P's 748 and David Maltby's 1-11 and Comet work in FSX, but I still get much lower FR with them than with native FSX (SP2)models, so do not fly them any more, a great loss. If you have a really powerful PC, it becomes less of an issue.

I vote for the Autocrat too, easily as good as some of the payware Pipers about at the moment and a fraction of the price.

As the thread originator mentioned the Puss Moth (Fs9) then I think it's his call. Vintage aircraft tend to be small and lacking complex systems which tends to mean they perform well in FsX. The Gipsy and the Puss Moth both perform well in FsX.
 
Yes, it doesnt have to be a native FSX aircraft, however it needs to perform well in FSX. The autocrat and puss moth are a few of my favourite.

Depends what you regard as vintage...but I really enjoy Rick Piper's DHC-1 Chipmunk version 3,

That depends on where you draw the 'vintage' line I guess. ;)

If you say 50+ years old then the Chippy qualifies but that just makes me feel old! :eek: :frown:

I have flown Chippies in RL and they would not have been considered 'vintage' at that time.

I have heard a rumour that Rick was working on a full blown FSX version of the Chippy but that was a while ago now so I have no idea how it's progressing or even if it's still a going concern. I still fly the FS9 v3 in FSX regardless.......gotta have my Chippy!
 
If "vintage" is defined as 'over 25 years old' then there's always these:
