FsX native freeware aircraft list

Brett Henderson: Beech P35 Bonanza, Convair 240, Convair 580, Saab 340, Cessna 310, Cessna 177RG

Alejandro Rojas Lucena: Citation X Ultra, MD-83, Boeing 707, Boeing 727, Hawker Raytheon,
 
D.I.Y. Native FSX Freeware Aircrafts

Some designers publish their model without a VC or with a generic looking VC. Good idea! Less pressure for the developper! Less delays! So with a little tweaking you can add the VC of your choice. Some examples:

ISDT Beechcraft King Air B200 (add Default FSX King Air 350 VC):

Dornier 328 by FSX by Björn Kesten [edit: 100% original, not related to the PAD version]
(my advice: swap VC with default FSX Bombardier CRJ-700):

Open Sky has converted to native FSX some of their Boeing 737, 777 and 747 models. With default FSX 737 and 747 VC you have wonderful aircrafts (the 777 is still lacking a nice realistic freeware Boeing VC... the 737 VC works but a 777 has a huge cockpit):

Project Airbus A318 A319 A320 A321 A380. Works very well with default A321 VC (2 engines) or Tom Ruth A340 VC (4 engines).

Already mentionned but worth repeating: Kawasaki T-4 by Team FS KBT (change VC with Tim Conrad's Mitsubishi T-2, and add SimKid RCAF repaint for outstanding results):

Here is a tutorial on how to add a VC to a native FSX aircraft...

Premier Aircraft Designs doesn't make native FSX aircraft, only compatible models that will work. Their DO328 was not converted by Bjoern, he took the time and made his own model:ernae:

And one thing that bothers me is that some folks (not here) insist of labeling my work as Hovercontrol's work. Although the Bell 210 and Bell 212 I released years was based on Jordan Moore's Bell 412, they had no part in the development of the final models....same goes for the Enstrom, Bell 206, Bell 222 and any future helicopters Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations have planned.
 
Actually...just going through the updated list makes me realise just how fortunate we are to have all of these great "native" freeware aircraft in what is now FSX's twilight. Ach...I can remember when FSX were but a babe in arms and there were nowt but FS9 portovers wi' opaque glass and a cartoon landscape...fighting to achieve 10 fps wi' me nose pressed hard up against an auld 640x480 res crt screen..Newcomers to FSX...they don't know they're born...

Sounds like a little bit of confusion here... Ivan has done 2 versions :

1. MiG-21 F13, the MDL is not native and therefore not on the list.
2. MiG-21 MF, which is native FSX and on the list.

Ah okay, I thought the F13 was native as well :)
 
I was under the impression that, while these are indeed FSX compatible, they are merely portovers?

I've checked and there is indeed an interior model (VC.MDL) and an exterior model (Il-86.MDL) in the "model.cfg" file from the Kirill Konovalov's Ilyushin 86, a sure sign of a native FSX aircraft. But you're right, the Il-96 is a port over.

Bruce Fitzgerald built a vc-less Mil Mi-8 Hip for FSX

Good catch! Can't wait to swap the EH101 VC into this one... More pics later... [Edit: Here they are]

Nice, but not as nice as the famous Mil Mi-8T/MT for FS9 by Vladimir Zhygulskiy...

Use eyepoint = 13.5, 1.45, -6.2 with EH101 vc... Props need some fixin'...
 
Also to add that we (Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations) did the FSX conversion to Mario Noriega's P180 Avanti, he gave us permission to release:ernae:
 
Updated again to this point. I've included the JF 152 as it does seem to be available to all but only from their site.

Edit: just added the Bruce Fitzgerald/FSN AT802 'Fire Boss'. Although release as an unfinished beta it's still a nice aircraft to have.
