+1 on this. A bit surprised that there are so few AFCADs around.

The Powerlines are nice too.. 🙂

Project Lifts is awesome,  imo.    https://flightsim.to/discover/lifts

Global Shipping is a big one for me as well as FSLTL.

+1 for Powerlines and we love VFR parts 1 and 2.

One of my favourites for low and slow is the MW6 at flightsim.to. Very stable, easy to fly and stalls below 40 kts. Excellent view and easy to fly.

Not all freeware but a great list to sample from by Baracus250.

is there any mod to get rid of those nasty taxiway blue lamps?

Do you mean lights that are incorrectly placed on taxiways or the actual blue lights on the taxiway edge which are correct?  Real taxiway edge lights are blue and centerlines are green if the airport has them.

The longitude mod is not necessary anymore if you're using the beta or won't be when next update is released:)

That depends on if Asobo got the flight model right.  That was the whole issue why the mod was created in the first place (to address small fuel tanks, bad flight model, landing light viewable from the cockpit, etc).  Flight models, landing lights, and other issues have never been a strong suite of Asobo hence we have so many mods of default aircraft.😐

Seems pretty decent to me. Flies so much better. The new avionics put it in a different class altogether from the default + mod.

Note though that the Longitude mod will break the new default (currently in beta release) Longitude. The mod is not currently compatible with the beta.

That is a great mod. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I somehow missed it.

Seems like nice addon. Does it impact performance of MSFS?

[Bernard Ducret 790]

Not one mention about FBW A320 before the end of page 2?!!! The same would go for Salty B748. They simply cannot be ignored.
