I think this is one of the 'forgotten' of the beautiful planes by Piglet.

Its the Boeing 221 Monomail. Very detailed model and I love the way it flies. Its available on Flightsim and used to be on Avsim.

I looked for this at Flightsim but could not find it,,any clues?
 
If not too late, here's a superb payware-quality-freeware-gem that seems to have been overlooked. If you like to fly something different try Deane Baunton's excellent Aerospace FU24-950 Series Fletcher. It's a 'topdresser' featuring exquisite external model, fully animated and detailed virtual cockpit, topdressing effects and paint schemes for Super Air, Wanganui Aero Work and Phoenix Aviation, and a great soundsuite (recip and turboprop) to boot.

You might wanna try some of the excellent freeware New Zealand sceneries at the same time. There's a ton of it to download both at flightsim.com and Avsim. New Zealand is only one of the most beautiful and exiting countries to fly in. Remarkable it hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread.... :rolleyes:

File name is fu24_v2.zip and fu24walt.zip for the turboprop, both at flightsim.com and Avsim. ( FS9 and FSX versions )

Here's a clip of the real Fletcher at work : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loy2n8s_l00

Thanks for the HU, Jan! :ernae:

This is exactly the aircraft I need to explore my just discovered environment low & slowly...

Just can't stand any more snow around!

Definately not one of the prettiest aircraft available, but an honest hard worker for sure...

Cheers,

Having read all the way through these freeware gems, I don't recall anyone recommending the Veneavionnes Turbo Commander. A superb twin turboprop on the same level of excellence as the Allied Flightsim Group Super King Air 300. Beautiful inside and out.
 
Just a word to say that the last version of the Glens Falls airfield (KGFL) by [FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Ed 'Geneer' Cox is available at avsim (kgfl_v22.zip)... Enjoy! :wavey:

The Bloch MB.152 was already mentioned, but imho all planes at http://restauravia.com are funtastic!
But especiallay these two:

Bloch MB.220

Especially the Rei-Sen is the best FS9-model aviable!
 
Just downloaded the A6m2 from restauravia ,beautiful plane ,but how do you get the cowling back on the engine? The site has something about using ctrl+shft+? but it's in French . Nothing in the readme.
 
Thankyou MrReset ,but that doesn't work for me ,maybe I'll try a reinstall,this is geting off topic so I'd better take this to another thread. Thanks

Hello Hurricane 3, you might try the cowl flap lever on the right side of the throttle pop-up panel. Moving the lever fully to the left removes the cowling and gun covers. One click to the right sets them back in place.
 
From one Hurricane to another

Thankyou Hurricane 91,I had uninstalled the Zero because I didn't like flying close formation with the cowling and engine panels,after reading your post I reinstalled ,and now the cowling is were it belongs.Thanks again
 
A belated addition to the thread folks,

The Tupolev TU 144 ' Russian Concorde' is worth checking out, and I don't believe it's been mentioned yet.

The textures and effects are payware quality and there's loads of cockpit 'goodies':jump:

Get it on Flightsim [ tu144v2.zip]

Also, I agree the Waco Taperwings are a great package, but it's worth mentioning that the gauges don't show unless you do the following, at least not on my set-up they didn't.

COPY the .cab file in the Lockheed Vega panel folder in FS9 over to the main gauges folder , as the aircraft use these and FS9 doesn't seem to read them unless you do that.

What a great thread - I've down loaded some beauties and thanks to all:icon_lol:

Stuart.
