Biplanes

Featured Replies

Hi,are there any biplane fans? There seems to be quite few add-on biplanes available. What biplanes you would recommend for me? What is "the best" biplane available?

 

 

Bill Lyons' Travel Air is a beaut! In the last few days it has become freeware. It is available at Avsim and Flightsim.com.

Anything by Bill Lyons (try his Tiger Moth too), Dave Eckert's Stearman, Long Island Classic's Christen Eagle, Dave Garwood's Dragon Rapide, Stuart Green's Albatros ... the more I start to think about it, there are dozens, many of them excellent. All above should make you very happy, for starters.Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a]

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!I saw a Staggerwing by Simtech in the library, usta be payware, the docs look like it's pretty good but when I went to install it and saw 300 megs required I backed off. Just got a 160 gig HD, haven't installed it yet but looking forward to doing a head to head comparison with ROTW's version.Best Regards, Donny:-wave

Thanks everyone. I did try some of these planes.Tiger Moth I

HelloI like Bill lyons Travel Air and Long Island Classics Christen Eagleboth available here.

Hi Kiki,In addition to the recommendations above, give Alayn Gourio's Stampe a try. Great flight model, beautiful exterior model, and a nice VC panel. It's in the AVSIM library: stampe_classic_v1.1.zipBest,Ken

Hello BruceI was unfortunate enought to buy the Pureflight Pitts Ultimate a day before the Freeware Christen eagle became available.The Christen Eagle is in all ways a much better addon.Better external model, better VC and gauges and the flight model is better IMHO.Probably the best acro biplane freeware or payware available at the moment.
