Realair Spit.I recently downloaded the Pilatus PC-7 V2.0 by Tim Piglet. I can't believe it was free.

For sightseeing I like to use the DA-20 Katana : it has a nice unobstructed canopy.Jean-Jacques

Depending on how much I want to pay attention to "flying" while sightseeing, there are three: 1) FSD's Porter which has enough speed to cover some ground but also has great visibility and can turn (and land, for that matter) on a dime, 2) A2A's J3 Cub which is much like the Porter only light years slower, and 3) A2A's P-47 "Razorback".Rich

No. But, I would like to. I've searched for it and so far no luck finding it.

His WACO UPF-7 is also a great aircraft, was updated for FSX, and highly recommended.Shoot, so is his Mooney Mite.....and.....whelp, anything 'Pig' does is worth having, especially at the asking price :(

I've used the R-22 helo for sightseeing. Being able to pause in mid-air gives me ample opportunity to take in the details.Gary

I'm suprised no one mentioned the FSX maule orion M7. This is my overall fav for sight seeing while getting somewhere at the same time; that top wing and clear side panels can't be beat for providing an excellent view at 120 mph TAS. As a noob around here, is there some taboo associated with flying this aircraft for I've never seen it mentioned. I found this nice picture of one IRL: http://en.wikipedia....n_C-GZAU_01.JPG

Flight1 BN-2 Islander, not exactly fast but its a really excellent aircraft for FSX.

Cheers, Andy.

And now even at a reasonable price....might get it now...

If I'm going fast, I'll take the Lotus L-39.If I'm going not so fast, I'll take Aerosoft's Twotter.If I'm going slow, the Carenado 206 or Piper Arrow IV.If I'm going really slow, the Nemeth EC-135.
