I know this isn't a really popular FSX aircraft, however, I'm looking for the best available version for FSX. I've heard the Abacus version is pretty bad and that some of the freeware is very good. I was kind of hoping any of you out there might have first hand knowledge.

There's a really good freeware one in the library here, by Mario Noriega

 

Here's the forum topic

And in the library

Wow, dont know how I missed that one. A P180 flies over my house every other day or when using this approach at about 5pm. I can hear it coming without even looking up. Very distinctive sound. I also poked my head into one at an airshow. Its a very cool plane and was hoping for a realistic flight model.

Apparently this freeware one is very realistic with most system modeling, great for freeware. I'm going to try it out soon.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Great tip that is. Mario's plane is the best. And free! :Applause:
