Well, you can have a freeware Neptune for FS9 if you do a little work. And not much work is required.
Some years ago Tomohito Unayama released a series of P2V variants for FS2002. Alas, they didn't work properly in FS9 - lost their props and possibly some other animations. But...
Jaap de Baare and Harry Biard released an AI version of Unayama's FS2002 model, and all it's animations work in FS9. While it was intended as an AI plane, all you have to do is add sounds and a panel and viola, you have a flyable FS9 Neptune!
Bob Chicilo then released an updated set of flight dynamics files for FS9.
Alas, de Baare and Biard only converted the basic patrol bomber model for FS, and not the other models.
But on the positive side, all the FS2002 repaints of the patrol bomber work on the FS9 model.
You can get the FS9 AI model at Avsim, or at least you could when I downloaded it some years back.
You can find the original FS2002 model (for the panel and sounds) at AvSim - or again, at least that's where I found it years ago.
Or you could just buy the Alpha Simulations/Virtavia model if it's still available.
Not to mention the Mercator's very convincing engine sounds.
