Freeware Gems

My thanks and congratulations for such an excellent thread. The elements here clearly point to what makes this such a congenial community and flight simulation site, and goes some of the way in explaining the special feeling every time one visits.
 
Here's some more. I just saw this uploaded today on Avsim and I just tried it out quickly so no screenshots but it's worth a plug IMHO.

Found some nice work for the MK30 that caught my eye. The paints are for the wrong fuselage, but nicely done.

FS2004 DeHavilland Super Chipmunk MK30. Art Scholl's Super Chipmunk - Art Scholl remains one of the greatest aerobatic performers of all time. Year after year, from the late 1950s to the mid 1980s he added unique airshow flourishes, like riding on his own wing, aerobatics with his dog Aileron nestled in the cockpit behind him, picking up a ribbon near the ground with his vertical fin and dramatically flying a low-level outside loop from the top down. Textures only; requires CHPMNK04.ZIP and CHIPMK12.ZIP. Model by Rick Piper.

Excellent LIRF and not all that bad on frames.... (relatively, especially for the detail involved)

By Tolmachevo Team: Fedor Burakov (a.k.a. Hawker) scenery design and Usachev Pavel AFCAD and information support. (See also UNNT_104.ZIP)

way the heck out there but worth a stop in a heavy jet... i mean, how many folks fly to Kazakhstan or there abouts. UNNT is north of that!

Today I downloaded the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy by Rick Piper. Somehow I had never noticed this one before. It has a good VC and exterior model considering it was already released in 2005.

It is a bit more of a challenge to fly because the engines can overheat or ice up. So read the manual before your first flight or you could have a nasty surprise mid flight.

Shadows ?

Hi,

Boeing Stearman Model 75 Duster and Sprayer package
Click to expand...

IMHO it's some problems of shadows rendering for this Stearman ....
I'm sure .. the plane is not floating above the ground (if I modify the contacts points the wheels will sink in the ground but the shadow will stay weird)

a freeware gem i keep coming back too

Piglets T33 will always be in my hanger, after reinstalling FS9, she's the first add-on plane installed, easy to fly but challanging enough to be fun,
i esp like the larg amount of paints you can download, there dos'nt seem to be an airforce that did'nt fly the T33. here's some of my fav's
 
Yep, this T-Bird is still amazing!
One (of the several) things I love on Piglet's planes is the varying appearance of the bare metal panels: Each of those tin plates looks different!
Great! :applause:
 
This is reallly a good thread !!! How about the DSB F-5s, F-20s, and the UH-1 Hueys. And don't forget all the freeware that Alphasim has.
 
One more gem to be added (strange that it hasn't been mentioned before...):

afg_beech1.jpg



It's the AFG Beechcraft Kingair 300.
I know - it smells like a boyscout camp full of coleman lanterns, but it's terrifying well modeled and textured and flies like a dream.

Get it here:

Btw: This is a little sneak preview for my next repaint...
Please keep the secret! :jump:

Cheers,
Markus.
