I love the old prop planes

That Elektra thread on FSDev has not been updated by the developer for over a year... I am not holding my hopes high for that one to come out ever...

 

I still have my hopes set on the PMDG DC-6. These planes had class...

 

A

 

That would be tragic...

 

Now that the T7 is out lets hope the DC-6 is around the corner from PMDG.

Last thing I know, the developer's PhD was more important and he simply lost interest in continuing the model.

Just thought I'd add that I've been following a thread over at Sim Outhouse regarding the imminent release of a very nice looking freeware Ryan Navion.  Looking forward to that one.

 

Also, there's a really pretty payware T-28 Trojan at Ant's Airplanes (and many of the online stores) that flies great and looks really sharp.  Also has a demo available which is a major plus if one's trying to decide (wish more devs did that!).

 

Both are slightly newer than WWII of course, but might be worth looking into.

Great discussion!

 

I didn´t remember I had Aero Commander in FS9. That is not available in FSX quality? Or did I miss something? Would like to explore ORBX SAK with it...

How's the Albeo Staggerwing?

The Staggerwing and the Waco are fantstic! I also have the Carenado Cessna 152, which is a great plane and holds a favorite spot for me as I learned to fly in a 150.  Really takes me back! I'm off to look at the A2A offerings today.

And then it might be time to fire up the new V2 C-47 of Manfred Jahn

kiki:  Thanks for the links.  Great historical training films!  I now have the C-47 and it is really well done.  I love the sound set (separate download). 

 

I fell for the piper cub at A2A.   Very nice with a lot of bells and whistles...Haven't had time to explore all of it yet.
