FSX Native Payware Aircraft List

A question: can other people the list that don't own Excel? I know Chrome browser has a mini plugin to display it. Is anyone having issues reading the file?
 
And these are all native sp2 models?
Click to expand...

Yes all of the Just Flight titles that I listed are native FSX models - we updated the older titles like Flying Club to the latest FSX native standard (not sure how many people are aware of that!).
 
I think the list needs a small update:

A2A-Shockwave has released their P40 with Accusim

IRIS released their F-15E

Sibwings relaesed their version of the Pitts

Aerosoft published a Bronco.

the Carenado Malibu was released

and last but definitely not least Lionheart released his Avelina.

Cheers,
Huub

And I have most probably missed some others.......

You dont have any CR1-Software stuff on there. Best priced add ons for fsx any where.
Ford Tri motor
Aeronca Champion

Both are fsx acceration only. Ford 1 million ploies winner of a few awards so far. Was even featured topic of a aviatiion radio show, Aeronca 350k poly model.

Check it out.
I guess we get low press because I dont support the big machine of flight sim and dont sell out to the big out lets. I have my planes one store because they refuse to take it down, prolly cause it sells. the pilot shop, but from my site they are 1/2 the price they are from there.

Freedom to the people!

Looks great!

Don't forget that Virtualcol has a few aircraft out such as the Fokker series and more recently, the Jetstream.

Great list!

But!

**Not to sound negative.


I recall back in the days of my love for a hobby, Radio Controlled Modeling. Oh what fun this hobby was. Buying, building, flying. Going to Fun-Fly competitions. Man that was fun! I remember the day I decided it was time to experience it all. I bought my flight gear, batteries, servos, a few planes, the coverings, glues, and tools to do what it took. Once I got home, I tucked away the receipts. Just in case.

I enjoyed R/C modeling. Lots of friends, lots of airplanes, boats, cars, yeah. It was fun!

Throughout the course of my hobby I put every related receipt into an engine box. Just in case!

Right now those reading this can more than likely sum up it up. Fifteen years later.

One day while going through my "hobby" cabinets, I found that engine box with all the receipts. I opened it up and looked inside. Yup, there they all were. Just in case!

I rustled through them and thought to myself, no, I better not. I did.

I grabbed the calculator and started adding them up. Bad move.

................................................When I finished adding them (almost 90 minutes later), lets just say that the figure was $XXXXX.00.



That was the day I burned the box and almost cried :icon_lol:



Moral of the story, DON'T save the receipts!! Just enjoy the hobby for what it is!!! :mixedsmi:

So true....When you start adding recipts you see the cost of everything....from operational expenses to rebuild and overhaul, to new plane kits and scratch build cost....Starts out just a few dollars and ends up as much as your home.....
:redf: LIKE YOU SAID......TRASH THE RECIPTS AND ENJOY THE HOBBY.....thats what i am doing almost 34,000.00 dollars and 29 years later...Great fun and relaxing when you forget the cost....At least till the crash....Then the thought of the cost flows in and the tears flow out....

I recall one build that I wanted to do back in the day. It was a 1/4 scale kit of a Cessna 182 on floats. The plans were scaled down from blue print drawings.
A close R/C friend and fellow builder was a CAD operator at the time so he was with me in the project and the designing.
He crunched all the numbers, scaled things respectively and away we went.
On the late shifts when we managed to get the assembly lines ahead of schedule for needed parts, we focused on our projects.

Over a couple months Josh milled all the needed pieces we needed out of grade "A" balsa and hardwood stocks. Then came the custom spun aluminum dash panels, hand built and brazed seat frames, controls, control knobs, aileron, flap & elevator hinges, control horns, handles, micro switches, custom aluminum wheels, landing and taxi lighting. The list went on and on over the next 10 months.
As time passed he and I had designed and built every piece of visual hardware both in the cockpit and outside to scale appearance and size. We even made custom aluminum cowls that opened up like the real-world counter part.

My build process took almost two years to get it to look the part and have it sitting on trike gear. Once we got them to that stage, the next phase was to build the float systems, struts, pulleys, water rudders and attaching hardware.
Well, once we did get to that point we decided that we needed to do test flights before moving forward so we could eliminate problems if any were found.
Neither planes had been covered except the control surfaces. Although all the wood was sealed and ready.

I was the first for a flight test. All checks done. RPM and run-up was in the numbers and throttle response at all angles of flight pre-tested and adjusted.
Down the runway I went. 300 feet of golf course groomed grass. Speed was good, but power seemed a bit limited. The OS240 was new. Broke in but new. It had a slight lull in the power curve before reaching full RPM. Something I was aware of. As I got closer to the end of the runway, I had reached a point of no return. It was a case of get it in the air or tear off the landing gear as it left the end of the runway and into the furrow mounds of field.
I forced it into the air, and leveled off at a low altitude of about 10 feet. That's when a strong gust of wind come at the plane sideways and turned it to the left and at a patch of trees across the road.
Once that happened I had no power to pull out of it. The first flight, and the last as the fuselage disintegrated going through the trees.

That day in 2003 was the day I gave up my hobby for virtual flight.
