List freeware with great virtual cockpits

Featured Replies

freeware aircrafts with great virtual cockpits and which you can otherwise recommend as well :).Preferrable GA planes for bush flying but any will do :)

The Maule. Should be bfu_maule_m7260.zip here. Make sure you get the update as well. Great bush plane!

How about Milton Schupe's (?) Rockwell Aero Commander? Has a great VC and visual model. Bit heavy on the framerates though.Adam

>freeware aircrafts with great virtual cockpits and which you>can otherwise recommend as well :).>>Preferrable GA planes for bush flying but any will do :)The Antonov An-14 is a really great STOL a/c for bush flying. And it ONLY has a VC - no 2d panel at all. You can really carry some load in this bird!It takes a little bit of learning to fly as the panel is all in Russian - but if I can figure it out , anyone can. Barry

I am used to russian planes. I always fly them in IL 2 and LOMAC ;)

Hi there. The Ju-90 has a good vc' Eric Dantes DHC-6 Otter(Air Madagascar) has, as well as his great Twin BonanzaJoe binka's Widgeon!I'm interested to see just how many there are!andy.

The Utva and the Soko Galeb by Goran Savic & Luka Midic are excellent.

In fact only yesterday, I cleared out my aircraft folder of all a/c that do not have a nice VC. I still have over 50 a/c (almost all freeware) to fly - more than I could do in a lifetime , I thinkBarry

Nice job guys :). All freeware I have tried yet either have a very poor or no virtual cockpit

Here's two more very good freeware add-ons. Both have great VCs.http://junkers-52.de/Hawk

I agree with all of the above especially the JU-52 and Jungmann from O. Fischer, Utva, Howard, Maule, Twin Otter, Twin Bonanza, Chipmunk, YS-11. I would also add David Copley's Lightnings, Maliniemi/Virtanen's Vinka and Bjorn Buchner's Taylorcraft Auster V. IMHO these may not all be technically perfect like payware sometimes tries to be, but all the above do manage to give me the feeling that I am sitting in a real plane rather than in an airbrushed Airfix kit!
