Featured Replies

Hi fellow simmers,What is the consensous on a good low wing single engine aircraft for fsx? payware or freeware? Prefer one that has a GPS in VC and works with Vista 64 bit (this excludes DF Archer III :( )Thanks in advance

I would recommend the DF Piper Dakota. I have Just Flight's Archer III but it's not quite the same as DF's Archer III in FS9. I did move the sound file from my old Archer III in FS9 to the one in FSX for improvement. Please let us know if you ever come across a Beech A36 Bonanza or Piper Malibu Meridian for FSX.

That doesn't work in Vista 64, I would recommend the Carenado Arrow (T-tail, RG) very very nicely done.

Going to have to disagree with this one, the visual model is great but the avionics and flight model are lacking. There isn't even a function for identifying your nav. radios.

Well I am rather superficial. :(

I like Flight1 Pilatus PC-12. It has nice and smooth flight model, interesting VC and a lot of power. You can land or take off with it almost anywhere.And you have a style when you are sitting inside. :(But i do not know if it still belongs to category GA.

Easy choice... Carenado Mooney
I'd second the Mooney and Pilatus. Each excellent in their own right, and both work in Vista64.

Didn't think about it. What is the difference between Turbo and G2?

The Pilatus PC12 is very versatile with STOL, high altitude capable to get in those hard to reach places, and it cruises reasonably quickly too if needed, which helps with the boring parts.The SF-260 is also a joy to fly and mildly acrobatic. I like the SF-260 cockpit better than the VC in the Pilatus although the GPS, as said above is not on the dash (in fact, the PC-12 has a couple in the dash).Both excellent choices.Cheers,

The Turbo Cirrus flies higher thus is Oxygen Equipped and has special Engine Instruments for monitoring operation at higher altitudes. :(
