Best full steam gauge airliners for P3D v5

Featured Replies

For a detailed prop banger have a look at the A2A Connie. Lots of fun if you don't mind a little learning curve but even that's fun.

Could you please elaborate or post a link to these mods?  I'm very interested in them.

Thanks!

Rich,

I think this is the latest version...you could contact Nickbe directly to confirm. The night lighting in the cockpit is a huge improvement! The following is a page link, not a direct link. You can find this by googling CaptainSim B737 mods.

It's a pity that Aerosoft never updated their Douglas DC-8 for P3Dv5. It's by far the best classic jetliner for FSX/P3Dv4.

You already mentioned it, but wait for the JustFlight  Airbus A300B4. 

It's in beta right now (in fact a new build was disitributed to us earlier today)

Speaking of JF, they also have the BAe 146 for P3D

I'm really excited for Just Flight's A300, I really would love to see it being released by next month, but it probably will take a lot longer than that. And their progress on 747 seem to be hindered by something.

Thanks Rob!

Downloading now. Do you know if he's updating it for P3Dv5?

Tim HH - I installed the Aersoft DC-8 into V5.1.12 via the latest package from JF (where I purchase it). No problems or issues with it at all. 

Analog type airliners into P3DV5 .These are all good for me:

JF Professional BAE146

Thomas Ruths B727 100 and 200 

Aerosoft DC-8

CLS HD DC-10

Cool Sky's DC9 and MD80 package for P3D. 

The AH or JF VC10 seems ok - but not yet thoroughly tested. 

The Ah or JF BAC 111 and HS748 all work fine but there are some texture bleeds still to be fixed but functionality is good. 

The AH or JF Dove is good. 

A lot of the prop stuff is good too such as M Jahns C-47, Lockheed Constellation and the A2A Constellation (you have to pay for the upgrade)

Cal Classics DC-6

Flight Replicas De Havilland Dh114 Heron, the C-54 and DC-4 and the Argonaut are good. 

Some of Jens Kristensens Classics provided they were converted to FSX Native with an interior model also work nicely like his flying boats and the Vickers Viscounts. 

 

Strange as it may seem I have got all the Douglas's working just fine in V5 most of the older British Stuff and the big hole is old Boeings like the 707 and 737. 

And there is an active project rebuilding the KBT Lockheed Electra for P3DV5 in progress (see SOH threads) and only now really dependant on KBT agreeing for it to be released.
