"Richard Probst B-727 Panel (October 19, 2002): AVSIM Online Staff Reviewer Chris Mueller takes a loving look at a classic, the Boeing 727, now that Richard Probst has developed this amazing freeware panel for FS2002. Chris says, "Richard Probst has established a new standard in freeware panel design. With true-to-life functionality and appearance this is truly one of the greatest freeware panels ever produced for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Every gauge functions as close to the real thing as possible while retaining its usability. The authenticity of the autopilot's function combined with primary gauges of the era make this a pilot's airplane. Add to this the extreme attention to every gauge's function corresponding to its real life counterpart and you have the best representation of the 727's flightdeck ever produced for PC Simulation." Awarded the Avsim Freeware Gold Award.

PSS Airbus Pro (April 16, 2002): Judging from queries in our forums, AVSIM Online's review of Phoenix Simulation Software's Airbus Pro package has been much anticipated – and long awaited. To that point you'll see why, now that Associate Editor Pardave Lehry's and Staff Reviewer Bryan York's team review is here. Together they've put in some 40 flight hours to bring you this most comprehensive of reviews. Pardave remarks, "There are over 90 liveries available across all three models – the A319, A320 and A321 – and some liveries appear across all three models. And with all the new enhancements made to the graphics engine in FS2002, all these aircraft look spectacular. The attention to detail is out of this world. On later GeForce cards like my GeForce 3, you can almost say that some of the aircraft in the review's screenshots are real. And just like pictures speak a thousand words, the screenshots speak for the rest of the detailing... Having worked on A320s, I can say with a great level of certainty that this panel can't get much closer to a real-world Airbus than this. The PFD, ND and the ECAM all work like their real world counterparts." Awarded the AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design. Available at the AVSIM Store.

767PIC Update for FS2002 (March 9 2002): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry revisits the extraordinary 767PIC with this update for FS2002 by the Eric Ernst team. Pardave summarizes this amazing achievement, saying "the main purpose of this patch was to make it compatible with FS2002, Windows 2000 and Windows XP — and the team has succeeded. There were a lot of simmers who were eagerly awaiting the release of this patch. After writing the initial review (for FS2000), all my flying was done using this aircraft/panel combination. And now, the same thing will be happening again. Most of my long haul flying will be done with this panel as there's nothing else quite like it available."

Embraer ERJ-145 (January 6, 2002): This first review of 2002 earns Avsim's Freeware Gold Award. AVSIM Online Staff Reviewer Ed Rutledge showcases Bill Grabowski's freeware ERJ-145 Panel for FS2000/FS2002. And Avsim's Editors agree; here's Ed's citation in recommending the award: "The panel accurately models many of the subsystems, the unique autopilot, TCAS, EICAS and other functions of the real ERJ—very few freeware panels provide the depth of features included in this panel. The realism is unprecedented for a freeware package; Bill utilized a full team of contributors including actual ERJ pilots. I believe the only freeware commercial airline package this complete was version 7.0 of Eric Ernst's 757 panel—both of which could have easily been payware. The documentation alone is over 100 pages and better than the manuals you'll find in most payware products." We're sure you'll agree with Ed's assessment (which includes an interview with Bill Grabowski) as Bill's ERJ-145 panel has enjoyed some 20,000 downloads!

Boeing 707 (December 28, 2001): Bryan York, the most recent member of AVSIM Online's Review Staff, takes us back to the early days of commercial air transport flying with Paul Golding's freeware Boeing 707 panel for FS2002. Bryan comments, "Golding's 707 panel is quality work. No doubt about it. Mind you it's relatively basic compared to some other freeware packages out there, but for beginners that can be something of a blessing. I can say that you will enjoy pushing virtual throttles using this very nice, somewhat unique and ultimately very well done steam-driven panel."

PSS B-777 Panel V2 (Update) (September 2, 2001): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry updates his earlier Phoenix Simulation Software 777 Review with an update for the follow-on Panel V2. Pardave comments, "When PSS released the 777-200, it was the most realistic aircraft and panel around. The aircraft had some phenomenal textures around areas like the wheel well, the boggies, and the aft spar area of the wing—basically areas that are really hard to get at when it comes to creating textures. The panel was the most authentic looking replica of a 777 flight deck. Now, PSS has released an update to their 777 panel, which makes it more in line with their 747 panel."

Wilco 767 Pilot In Command (March 11, 2001): Not so long ago Eric Ernst's freeware B-757/767 Panel for FS98 set the standard for innovation at the time. Today, Eric and his team's long-awaited 767 Pilot In Command for FS2000, from Wilco Publishing, again sets a new standard! As AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry remarks, "After flying this aircraft with this panel, you won't be able to walk on board a real live 767 and take the left seat, and fly it. However, a package like this will give you an inside look at how the real aircraft really works. Next time you set foot into a real 767, and have the chance to visit the flight deck, most of the switches, buttons, and screens will be familiar. You will have some idea of how the FMC works, and how the various modes of the autopilot work, and what all the switches on the overhead panel do. Without a doubt, this package pushes the realism factor further... After test-flying this package, I'm excited at what the future has in store for us desktop pilots. Until then, I'll bask in this fabulous package. I know what I'll be flying the most."
It should come as no surprise that AVSIM's editors again awards Eric and his team our Award of Excellence in Flight Sim Design. And look soon for our follow-up interview with Eric and team mates Wade Chafe, Laurent Crenier and Pedro Sousa about what went into creating this amazing aircraft and panel.

McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 (December 21, 2000): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry reviews a classic, Paul Golding's MD-80 panel. Pardave remarks, "It's been quite some time since I wrote my last freeware panel review. But Paul Golding is one panel author whose panels I have to write about. Back when Paul was with the Project Freeware group, I got the chance to test his A300/A310 panel. That panel is a year old and I still use it because, in my opinion, it's the best out there. Paul's latest offering is the MD80 panel, and this one is a jewel. If you love flying the DC9 or MDxx series of aircraft, this is your panel."

PSS B-747-400 Aircraft, Sounds and Panel Package (December 20, 2000): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry climbs out of a real world 747 maintenance hanger to fly Phoenix Simulation Software's B-747-400 in the virtual skies. Pardave asks rehtorically, "Can I fly the real thing? No, probably not, but hands down this is the most realistic package that recreates the 'Queen of the Skies,' short of spending US$300 and buying Aerowinx' 747 PS1." Pardave continues, "The PSS team has pushed the realism and innovation factor so far forward that it will definitely take quite a bit to take these guys down. An FMC, navigation display, and PFD that wrestles with the likes of Project Magenta and their displays, but at a fraction of the cost—both in terms of price of the suite, and additional hardware requirements... With add-ons like this, the level of realism in FS2000 gets pushed further and further." AVSIM's editors think so too; we've awarded PSS a second Avsim Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design for this outstanding achievement.

LAGO "MadDog" MD-80 Series (September 3, 2000): AVSIM Staff Reviewer Jonas Lundh looks at LAGO's FS2000 implementation of their earlier FS98 version, which was awarded the AVSIM Gold Medal For Excellence In Flightsim Design. But now the bar is higher; as Jonas comments, "Mad Dog 2000 edition is a must have. This might sound odd after all my nagging, but I really like this panel despite the shortcomings. There is a feeling that just can't be explained, experience it! I would welcome an update from LAGO; give us some fresh graphics and I will be a happy simmer flying Mad Dog! Regarding the aircraft, well I don´t really think you need themthere are several other alternatives to getbut it's nice to get them with the panel. The extra add-ons such as 'Matt the pusher' are great!" Jonas' review includes numerous screenshots and details of the many gauges and functions this package offers.

DHC-2 Beaver for FS-2000 (August 6, 2000): Another of AVSIM's Library reviewers, Francois Dumas, leads off with Fred Banting's and Yannick Lavigne's DHC-2 Beaver. Francois finds this to be "A beautiful bush flyer with 'cool' artwork that lets you land any place on earth, whether snow, water or your home strip. The DHC-2 Beaver doesn't take off vertically, but it comes close. It only needs a very short runway (well, er, if you can find one) to take off and land. And even on water it doesn't take much to get it airborne. It's the ideal plane to get you anywhere in rugged terrain such as Alaska, Canada and the like. It is also a great plane to use for sightseeing and enjoying some of the beautiful scenery that you can find on AVSIM's library to download!"

"Cannibal Queen" Stearman for FS-2000 (July 30, 2000): AVSIM Online Managing Editor Bill Dailey very much enjoyed reviewing Bill Lyons' "Cannibal Queen" Stearman aircraft and panel for FS2000. Bill says, "On balance this is an excellent package and one which I highly recommend be on your hard drive. The "fun factor" would rate 6 stars if that was in the AVSIM system! There is truly "hours of fun" built in – especially if you want to recreate Stephen Coonts' flight around the U.S." And Managing Editor Maury Pratt couldn't resist the opportunity to include a 'sidebar' describing his ride in a real one.

TA 777 Panel for FS98 & FS-2000 (July 24, 2000): We've anxiously awaited updates of the more significant panels and gauges developed originally for FS98, but FS2000 presents some "interesting" challenges to panel designers. Tony D'Ambrosio made his "Vector Design Technology" gauges (and hence his and Roy Chaffin's panels) compatible with FS2000 in a previous release of his B-747 and B-777 panels—and added the FMC/Planner that AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry described in his RealCRT Review this past April. The only thing Pardave noted in that review that he "didn't like" was "the inability to couple the FMC with the autopilot at this stage." That's changed now with this version 1.4 update that adds a working Flight Management Computer (FMC). With this release what was admitedly a 'limited' FMC has come to life—and so AVSIM Online Managing Editor Maury Pratt decided to see how this current offering stacks up with the rapidly emerging FMC genre. Follow Maury's test flight to see the results.

Phoenix B-777 Aircraft and Panel Package for FS-2000 (July 21, 2000): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry is, to say the least, impressed with Phoenix Simulation Software's Boeing 777 package for FS2000. In his own words, "At the price, it's a give away. For ten pounds, you get a flight model that excels all others. You get a panel that looks beautiful, feature rich, and is easy to use, yet doesn't suck the life out of your video card (frame rate wise that is). You get a flight management computer that provides a realistic interface for FS2000's GPS/flight planning utility. But most importantly, you get a package that is sure to keep you busy on those long haul flights." And the Editors agree; we've awarded Graham Waterfield and his team our AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design.

Pilot's L-1011 Package for FS-2000 (July 10, 2000): AVSIM Online Associate Editor Pardave Lehry reviews Pilot's Lockheed L-1011 TriStar Aircraft and Panel package. Pardave remarks, "it's a pretty neat package. If you're a die-hard L1011 fan, it's a package worth adding to your collection. The included database with the information on most of the L1011s that were produced is a major highlight of this package. It's something that is definitely worth checking out, and something all L1011 fans will simply love." In addition to thorough coverage of this aircraft's history and the Pilot's FS2000 implementation, there's an interesting interview with Stephen Schaefer in Pardave's review.

Ralph Tofflemire B-747 Package for FS-2000 (July 10, 2000): AVSIM Online's Jeffry Babb really wrung out Ralph Tofflemire's Boeing 747-200 package. Jeff concludes that "As perfection is such a subjective concept, I will say that Ralph and his team have hit new marks and have set new standards with this package. This is a complete package with an eye towards affording a complete experience in and out of the cockpit. From startup to shutdown, the details that culminate in a submersive experience in realism sets this package above the crowd for FS2000 commercial add-ons."

Douglas R4D Version 4 panel & aircraft for FS-2000 (July 4, 2000): Managing Editor Bill Dailey reviews Version 4 of the R4D-6 Aircraft & Panel by Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin, and Jan Visser. Version 3 was awarded the AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flight Sim Design when reviewed this past January -- and this one's even better! Bill comments, "I would rate this combo as one of a small handful of elite panels and aircraft available for MSFS aircraft - pay or free. You simply cannot go wrong from any standpoint in using this panel and aircraft and certainly once you've flown it I predict you won't use any other DC-3 panel! Bill, Roy and Jan have reached new heights of accuracy and realism in the MSFS environment in this latest version of their prior award winning release."

Short Brothers SD3-60-200 Procedural simulator panel & aircraft for FS-98 (June 18, 2000): AVSIM Online Staff Reviewer Jonas Lundth says, "Without any warning Panel designer Dai Griffiths and Aircraft designer Chris Bawden released this gold nugget, their stunning and ground breaking Shorts 360 package for FS98! If you are one of us who truly enjoyed Eric Ernst´s 757 for the realism and in-depth system complexity, you going to love this one. If you prefer the default MS Cessna and frequently use the Ctrl-E shortcut to start the engines... well forget it! And how about your social life? Well... it gets a bit disturbed when you get your hands on Dai´s package, but on the other hand, such a complex panel really gives you a reason to invite a Flight Sim friend home for some copiloting!"

RealCRT Review (April 8, 2000): AVSIM Aircraft Reviewer Pardave Lehry talks with Tony D'Ambrosio about his RealCRT technology and the updates he's made to his two panels, the 747 and 777, providing both FS2000 compatibility and new features, an updated Navigation Database and a companion Flight Planner in particular. Also Roy Chaffin updated his Airbus and Boeing 717 panels using the newer gauges. Pardave describes and illustrates these in his review.

Roy Chaffin's B-717 Aircraft & Panel (March 18, 2000): As AVSIM Online Panel Reviewer Pardave Lehry says, "This is a must-have package for 717 fans or fans of Roy Chaffin and his production team. They have consistently delivered excellent panel/aircraft packages and thus have a reputation for high quality realistic packages. This installment further strengthens their reputation in the flight simulation community."

Espen Øijordsbakken's Fokker F50 Panel (March 6, 2000): AVSIM Panel Reviewer Jonas Lundh discovered a truly remarkable panel Espen Øijordsbakken is developing for FS2000. As Jonas explains, "Some years ago Espen released a Fokker F50 panel for FS98. The panel was a very nice piece of work, especially considering that this was Espen's first release for FS. As Espen was making all the gauges by himself he was able to customize them all for this panel. Now Espen is working on an FS2000 version of the same panel; it seems this version will include many enhancements to his original F50 panel."

Captain Stellan Hilmerby's DC-9-41 panel for FS98 (February 7, 2000): Our most recent addition to AVSIM Online's review staff, Jonas Lundh, treats us to Stellan Hilmerby's DC-9-41 panel — made all the more fun as Jonas flew this one in a real world simulator. Jonas comments, "Many people have been most impressed by Stellan's way of always responding to questions and helping out with details from the real world aviation. For some reason he got involved in Geir Otto Olsen and Bryan Shirota's panel creation as a 'technical advisor.' Well, Stellan built a -41 panel to add to the DC-9 panel project; the outcome was a new panel creation team, Bryan building other versions while Stellan was building the -41 panel. All these are based on Geirs' innovative gauges."

Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin and Jan Visser's DC-3 Panel & Aircraft for FS2000 (January 23, 2000): In our book the freeware DC-3 panel developed by Bill Rambow and Roy Chaffin, and the companion DC-3 aircraft by Jan Visser are right at the top of the list of standout panels and aircraft for FS2000 – payware or freeware. AVSIM Managing Editor Bill Dailey adds, "You simply cannot go wrong from any standpoint in using this panel and aircraft! Bill, Roy and Jan have achieved virtually unparalleled levels of accuracy and realism in the MSFS environment – my hat is off to them!" Launched in mid-year with its amazing documentation, they've continuously refined the panel - now in Version 3 - and the aircraft was updated just this month. Though Version 4 promises to be an even more remarkable advance, their work already earns them the AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design.
As a bonus, Roy Chaffin shares his solution to a vexing text display problem we've seen in a number of recent panels for FS2000.

John Schumacher's Boeing 747-400 Deluxe Panel for FS2000 (December 31, 1999): AVSIM Online Staff Reviewer Chuck Boudreaux likes John Schumacher's Boeing 747-400 Deluxe Panel for FS2000. Chuck remarks, "Schumacher has combined the RealCRT technology created by Tony D'Ambrosio and used it with five Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) for this panel; and there's two D'Ambrosio 747 liveries, one Air France and the other Northwest Airlines. Also you have the option of using this panel with FS2000's GPS or David Drouin's tried and true GPS98."

Ralph Tofflemire's Dassault Falcon 50 Panel (December 22, 1999): All who've enjoyed Michael Toussaint's insightful reviews here at AVSIM Online will be pleased to hear he's back -- this time reviewing Ralph Tofflemire's photo realistic Dassault Falcon 50 panel for FS2000. Mike comments, "Ralph continues on his winning streak. His innovation, eye for beauty and detail are second to none. His signature panel style is distinguishable a mile away and the panel is both functional and beautiful. It sits squarely on my hard drive and it will remain there! This panel comes with the Mike T seal of approval, and I am quite certain that this panel will be one of the jewels in your panel collection."

Project Freeware Airbus A300-600/A310 Panel (December 22, 1999): In this double review, AVSIM Online Reviewer Pardave Lehry treats us to a superb A300/A310 panel for FS2000 by Project Freeware's Paul Golding and Andreas Jaros, which also features Alain Capt's ACS-GPS gauge, with contributions from many others. Included in the package is a beautiful Kenya Airways A310-304 by Jens Dohrn and Hansi Schwarz. In Pardave's words: "The paint job: spectacular. And when I saw this panel, I thought I was actually sitting in one of those A310s (he works with at a maintenance base) for a second there. Hands down this is one of the most accurately rendered panels I have seen."

Roy Chaffin's A330 Panel for FS2000 (December 16, 1999): If you fly any of the AIRBUS INDUSTRIE aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98, you have likely run across the panels put together by Roy Chaffin. In combination with Tony D'Ambrosio's RealCRT (shareware) vectorial design gauges, Chaffin has managed to build clean panels, similar to the actual Airbus cockpits. Chaffin also includes a freeware set of MFDs as well as Tony's shareware set. Now Chaffin has taken on FS2000 with his A330 FS2000 Version 2.0.0 Beta panel; Staff Reviewer Chuck Boudreaux writes this review.

Pilatus PC-12 Panel (July 22, 1999): AVSIM reviewer Pardave Lehry tells us that Louis J. Betti's Pilatus PC-12 panel (and aircraft) provides the utmost in realism. Pardave fills out this review with notes on the real PC-12 plane, and an airline that flies it, Northern Ontario's Bearskin Airlines. Pardave comments, "A lot of time and effort went into the making of this panel, and that's quite evident when you take it for a spin. Little things make this panel a sure winner. Visually, the aircraft is also stunning. Bearskin's paint job has been recreated with excellent accuracy."

B-727 Panel (July 10, 1999): Panel Reviewer Pardave Lehry treats us to a look at Richard Probst and Chris Arrington's Boeing 727 flight deck, which includes a working Flight Engineer's Panel and is configured for Alain Capt's ACS-GPS98. Pardave comments that, "Upon loading the panel, you get an instant feeling of entering a 727. The background color is just the right shade of blue. Having just seen a real 727 flight deck a couple of days ago at work, I can say that this panel gives a higher level of realism than some of the other 727 panels I've seen and used."

757/767 Version 7.0 Panels (May 19, 1999): Panel Reviewer Bill Dailey says, "This panel is a must have." Bill feels his massive review "just barely touches on the highlights of this outstanding panel. There is tremendous depth built in here enough to keep you learning new things for quite some time." Bill couldn't find one thing not to like about this panel. He concludes that "It will enable you to fly as realistically as it is possible to do in FS98" Winner of the AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design.

Boeing 737-600 Panel (May 3 1999): Panel Reviewer Pardave Lehry says, "Panel author Jan Harry Sorensen does a nice job of recreating the cockpit of the most successful airliner in commercial aviation history. I like the panel because it gives an airliner feeling, even though there are a lot of dummy switches."

Early 1960's Boeing 707-100/720 Panels (April 18, 1999): Panel Reviewer Bill Dailey is impressed with Chris Arrington's and Richard Probst's early 60's panel for the very first model 707's - the 100 series. The panel is also for the B720--a same era but smaller 707 derivative. This is a panel depicting the ones before, as the authors put it, "instrument layout became standardized."

Paul Golding's 707, 727, and DC-10 Panels (April 12, 1999): Panel Reviewer Mike Toussaint gives us the inside scoop on Paul Golding's 707, 727, and DC-10 Panels in this special 3 panel review. "Unselfishly, Paul gives us delicious realism simply because it makes him feel good," says Mike. Mike went on to say that "Paul, without question, has hit back, to back, to back home runs with these three panels."

Boeing 737-300 Photoreal Panel Review (February 14, 1999): Panel Reviewer Bill Dailey asks: How do you know when your FS98 panel is "as real as it gets?" Answer: When you have to use the real aircraft checklist to start the engines. That's pretty much the story of Ralph Tofflemire's AVSIM Gold Medal for Excellence in Flightsim Design award-winning panel--for the B737-300. In addition to having to use real world procedures this panel has more bells and whistles than an old steam locomotive. Definitely and without question THE most detailed and in depth model of an aircraft panel for FS98 currently available anywhere at any price.
