Im looking for a good preferably freeware twin prop to do some short vfr cross country flights in for something a little diffrent.Any good recommendations.

I don't know of any good freeware GA twins except Milton Shupe's Beech 18. If you want something bigger, one of the best freeware products ever is Rick Piper's HS748.

Bigger is ok, ill take a look. Thank you.

You are welcome. The HS748 is one of the best freeware aircraft ever released IMHO. Here's the linkhttp://www.britsim.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=162&func=fileinfo&id=672CheersIan

You don't say piston or turbo, but I liked the AVG King Air 300 if turbos are OK.scott s..

Milton & company also did the Aero Commander series, and Veneaviones did the Turbo Commander.

Ditto on both of the above. Great efforts by freeware contributors.

Have a look at the HOWARD 500. This is an exact sim replica of a classic plane still flying, It looks and sounds like the real thing, if you Google it you should find some actual video and history etc.. Oh, and you really do need to learn how to fly it, superb stuff.Echofox

Thanks for the kudos guys.Not sure if any of my twins meets your requirements but you can find them here at Avim (search for Milton Shupe) or at my website:http://www.flightsimonline.com/Of the Aero Commanders, my recommendation would be the AC500W:http://www.flightsimonline.com/ac500wood/If you are interested in a heavy Howard 500, be sure to read the history and pilot's reports on the site, you can find it here:http://www.flightsimonline.com/howard500/The Beechcraft D18S is here:http://www.flightsimonline.com/d18s/or, if you like the military genre, you might check out the Grumman products here:http://www.flightsimonline.com/Grumman/index.htmThere are lots more of course, for fun, cargo hauling, military, and the medium range Dash 7, although 4 engine turboprop, is another award winner you might like, here:http://www.flightsimonline.com/downloads/d7vcmdla.zipAll of these aircraft are available right here at Avsim, but you will have to sort through hundreds or other repaints etc. to find them. At any rate, not necessarily the best, but they are good hand flying easy to operate aircraft.Thanks and by all means, have fun! :-)

Milton your aircraft are a real treat to fly, thank you so much to you and those who helped along the way. Great to hear from you!!I have the Aero's, the new Grumman, and once I recover from my HD failure, i'll grab the rest shortly after.

I thank you also Milton. The Dash-8 and D18 have long been favorites of mine and I am now enjoying the S2 also, having had the fun of flying the real thing "back in the day."Ian

Thank you all for the replies, Its much appreciated!!!! Looks like I Have my work cut out for me.

Of the Aero Commanders, my recommendation would be the AC500W:http://www.flightsim....com/ac500wood/
