What're some good Golden Age planes for FSX? I'm already aware of the excellent planes by Milton Shupe (especially his Avia 57), but what else is there? I love the Sikorsky amphibians!
Also if you could provide links I would really appreciate it! :)
 
You might take a look at the sticky above for FSX Native aircraft. There are links included and a ton of freeware aircraft listed.
 
Many great ones here: http://www.classicwings.net/

If you have FS9, you can have the Curtiss Jenny, Vickers Vimy, Spirit of St. Louis, de Havilland DH.88, and Lockheed Vega in FSX-native form, through the conversions offered at Classic Wings (all except for the Jenny) and through the library here at SOH (for the Jenny).
 
Golden Age Simulations specializes in the era and offer a lot of FSX /P3D specific models

take a look at their website posted above by flaviossa

I have purchased many of these - the Stinson Jr, the Pitcairn autogyro..relatively unknown but a real interesting and fun flyer, their Stearman pack is great , their Pitcairn Mailwing, the Stinson Reliant, PT-19 Ryan Recruit and STA, all terrific aircraft models - they offer some Golden Age Racers too..with many of these packs containing the relevant airfields where these planes were typically operated from.

I should mention that I help out as a beta tester (thank you Paul) so I have received a few of these airframes gratis for the purpose of review - nonetheless - they are a great value and real easy on FPS as an important bonus..
attached are some pics of their lates releases - the Monocoupe and the Pitcairn Mailwing
 
De Havilland Cirrus and Gipsy Moth gasdh60fsx.zip from Flightsim and the Tiger Moth from Ant's Aeroplanes http://www.antsairplanes.com/tigermoth.html are pretty good, and there are also Leopard Moth, Hornet Moth and similar, all free. The payware Just Flight Tiger Moth also stands up well.
 
Don't forget to take a look at the Lionheart Creations classic aircraft. Pretty nice if you ask me!
 
Another suggestion for you - there's currently an ongoing race from London to Melbourne going on here, in this forum:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?6-Around-The-World-Race-Multiplayer-Events

One version of the race, and the one with the greater amount of contestants (myself included), is the version taking place using planes produced prior to 1938. A quick perusal of the entries, along with a read of the official rules (there's a list of allowable planes in the appendix), will turn up many, many, very fine examples of golden age planes of all sorts. I myself have found several gems that I was previously unaware of.

I wanted to enter the Avia 57 in that race, but I wasn't sure I would have the time to dedicate to it right now :/
