Steam Gauge Aircraft?

Recommended Posts

I have a friend who was a B-52 driver for twenty some years. He says he's a steam gauge guy in a glass cockpit world. Are there any really good steam gauge aircraft in MSFS2020? Third party?

Thanks!

Thanks Ryan!

The C310 is a Milviz product but they've changed their name so don't be scared haha.  It's one of the most in depth GA addons to date.  I highly recommend it.  Lots of avionics options too.

The Boeing 247D and the Just Flight PA28 Warrior are both worth a look,  Though they are both overdue for an update due to recent sim changes.

The Tiger Moth is a rort if you want a biplane.

These are good suggestions. There are plenty more though. For jet airliners there's the BAe 146 and for GA the Just Flight Arrow's and Warrior are very good.
If system depth is less important, Carenado has quite a lot of aircraft that have steam gauges. They look great and their flight model isn't too bad.

Since a few days there is the default DHC2 beaver. I've only flown it once but it flies realisticly and is completely steam gauges off course. It might be default, but it is as good as any addon.

WB-Sim 172SP Classic Enhancement

I was going to mention that one, but it is reliant on having either the Premium or Deluxe version of MSFS to have the stream gauge version of the 172 in the first place.

I'd love to have something similar to the Lionhart Lear from P3D

He did make his Learfan for MSFS.  But as for a Learjet, FSW is bring their 35 over with new textures.

Is this along the lines of the old A2A 172 quality?
