March 13, 200719 yr I have the PSS Dash8 - but it is very old. Basically it is an FS2002 model. I understand that the Flight1 ATR is very good - but I suspect that it would be too tough FPS wise on my older AMD2400 machine.When I say "complex" , I mean complex enough to be interesting - not necesarily something for the fanatics! :-) Any suggestions please? Payware or freeware
March 13, 200719 yr not complex, but a lot of fun to fly -PMDGs 1900D & 1900Cflight model is especially nice.-- D. Scobie, feelThere support forum moderator: https://forum.simflight.com/forum/169-feelthere-support-forums/
March 13, 200719 yr Try Rick Piper's HS 748. It's freeware, but a very good flight model, lots of systems (you must pay attention to fuel heaters and engine anti-ice), an excellent VC, and lots of repaints available. It uses analog gauges and a distinctly British feel to the cockpit. Best of all, it's very frame rate friendly.David Maltby also makes some excellent British jetliners. His BAC 111 is my favorite.If you can do without a VC, Project Fokker's F-28, F-70, and F-100 all do well on frame rates.Dale Dale

Payware or freewareI ran the Flight 1 ATR on an Athlon XP 2200. Adjusted the quality slightly, and had no problems framerate wise. At any rate, it's really the best out there, and since Flight 1 offers a 30 day money back guarantee, you really have little to lose. ricardo

Payware or freewaremajesti software's dash 8 (ex fanda, or basically the payware fanda) if your budget allows.complex? checkfps friendly? checkoverly complex? no because you don't need to do much to fly. preflight whining from the plane is 1/3 that of leveld and wilco's ERjs... flight dynanics (realism + feel) though are in a club of their own. worth it just for that. fun? check x10
March 15, 200719 yr The FeelThere ERJ-145 is good.The Fokker 70/100 from Project Fokker is good.Never had any performance issues with the Flight1 ATR on my last system...3GHz P4, 1GB, nVidia 6800Ultra.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
