So I've had a ton of freeware downloads sitting on my HDD untouched and I finally got around to unpacking and installing them all, testing a tweaking them and discarding the ones that were obvious bad apples. The remaining aircraft I've begun taking out for test flights and decided that I might as well report on my findings in case anyone else would like to consider trying them out. In addition to the mini review I have images of the craft in action and a direct link to the download so you don't have to go off trying to hunt it down yourselves. Both fixed and rotor wing craft reviewed in this first batch. More as I find the time to fly inbetween airport development!http://www.blade-edge.com/index.php?p=2147If you're a freeware aircraft developer might also want to check these out to hear my opinions on what's wrong with these various freeware craft so you can try not to make the same mistakes!
