BEST freeware Virtual Cockpit?

Featured Replies

I want to know what in your opinion has the best freeware virtual cockpit?I came across the TBM in the library, what has a nice cockpit but a bad flightmodel, and slow updates on the gauges.Also, found the best freeware jet around, with a VC, Maltby's BAC1-11. Its just awesome.Is there more I ask myself, and of course you..JohanA LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION, AND A LITTLE MORE ACTION PLEASE

I can think of one. The Beech 18 package is awesome. The same developer has a few other planes. They are all very popular in general. I would sort the FS2004 - Original Aircraft libery listings by download and spend some time going through the list.

I did, but dint find much.. who is the developper?JohanA LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION, AND A LITTLE MORE ACTION PLEASE

Yes that's what I was talking about. Thanks for the link. Just a thought, if you started with the BAC 1-11 and its standards you won't find many freeware planes that can quite live up to it really.

Rick Pipers HS748 and the BAC1-111 are tied for my favorite

I forgot about these gems. I just reinstalled the 111-200 and took it for a short hop KPDX-KSEA. What a nice add on. Thanks for posting this topic Johan. The updated model made improvements since I last used it on my old rig last year. I think the Trident is next. Gotta check out the HS748 too.

just FYI for you all BAC fans the plane is updated in Oct. You might want to re download it from their website.

The MIlton Schupe Howard 500 is nice too.

Anything by Milton Shupe--he is the grandest of all masters. His Howard 500 is a bloody miracle, but he has others as well like the Aero Commander and the D-18.David Maltby's BAC 1-11 is also stupendous and thrilling. Maltby's work on British jets generally is fantastic. I know because I flew on 'em all a lot in their time!JS
