Yes and no.

The default 737 VC is adjusted to the -800's fuselage length, while the model in the above package is a -700. Hence, the VC will be a bit too much forward compared to the exterior model.

If you can live with that, okay. I usually can't.

And I tend to create my own packages instead of downloading others anyway.

 

Thanks for pointing that out (the kind a thing a NOOB would miss!) Not a problem. There were several other variations using that same VC but in an 800 configuration. I can easily download one of those.

 

 

Do it. Just mention that it's AFG's base data and you should be good to go.
 
If they complain (which is very, very unlikely), you can still have it removed.

Most appreciated! I've downloaded the file. It's late here, so I'll give it a try tomorrow. Cheers!

I would say the default Maule is payware quality. Very, very good.

 

For an FSX default plane, it's excellent.  One of the few faults I can find with it are the confused orientation of the ailerons from inside the VC, but very solid work all around.  One of the best defaults to ever exist in the entire MSFS line.

The FSX default Maule is well done. Almost as good as it is in MS Flight :lol: 

 

The only thing missing in the Flight version is the AP...it's there but you can't turn it on.

I agree with the other comments - once you go payware you never go back.

 

However, a personal favorite of mine is the Blue Angels mods to the bog-stock F-18 - it turns into a really nice flying arrow/dart/weapon with tremendous flight dynamics. Others have noted Dino Cataneo's machines - flat out amazing quality for freeware. And Piglet's Meyers 200D is a really nice flying sim. 

 

I only have a half-dozen payware aircraft in my hanger, but everyone one of them is an "aircraft" compared to the standard FSX stuff. 

go with pmdg for airliners, go with carenado for general aviation. you will never look behind.

i only use default aircrafts for benchmarkings or testing stuff, because they are easy on frames and loading times less.

Thanks for the tip on the Blue Angels mods. I installed the FA-18A+ add-ons today. A nice package of goodies! Look great too.

If you like an F-18 the VRS Superbug will blow your mind, http://www.vrsimulations.com/FA18EFSX.htm

 with TACPAK you'll be able to dogfight other planes!

+1, Tacpack, the most fun that you can have with FSX.

 

I had never flown a default aircraft, FSX or FS9. Only payware quality, if I fly an airliner it's a must to have FMS, never use default GPS, if I fly a GA I only use VOR navigation like in real world!!!

Do you mean to say that your real world plane only has VOR equipment or that GA planes only fly with VOR equipment in real life? Because its common for GA to have FMS/GPS capabilities IRL.

I like the small single engine props for VFR flying, especially with those great ORBX terrain products.  For more complex aircraft, I go payware, where PMDG is my clear favorite.

I mostly use payware, cannot look at those ugly default aircraft.

I splurged on many payware aircraft as well as a crap load of money spent on hardware upgrades and then it happened!!! I lost it all... Major surge wiped out everything fsx I ever had. Thanks to a hard copy of FSX that I had in storage I was able to get back to flying but this time I'm flying Vanilla FSX all the way with no add ons... I'm loving every seconds of it.

I fly the Maule, the Beaver, the Baron and the King Air. I just dabble at airline flying, so I fly upgraded versions of the 747, 737 and Airbus. Everything else I fly is payware or top quality freeware.
