Socata TBM700

The large French team released this highly acclaimed package a few years ago and it’s still looking good. Outside you get a fantastic model, very sleek with lots of eye candy while inside you get some of the best gauges I’ve ever seen in flight sim, they’re gorgeous to look at.

You can get it from Avsim.

Eric Marciano’s Radar Gauge V2

One of the most impressive freeware panel offerings and used in so many panels both free and pay, so how did version two of this classic gauge nearly slip by me?

New very smooth GDI+ vector graphics, 2 colours, 2 shapes, improved performance and now works independently from FSUIPC.

You can get it from Eric’s website.

David Maltby’s Comet now with Virtual cockpit!

Never sure of release let alone so soon given replies given by DM over at CBFSim, but the update for his Dehavilland Comet package is here! In brief you now get a more detailed, higher resolution panel, a VC and new dynamics. It’s one of the prettiest, high performance VC’s around and is an absolute joy to hand fly… then there’s the noise! For more infomation and downloads head over to DM Flight Sim.

747 Ready For Pushback goes Freeware

One of the most complex ever made for flight simulation and top airliner for many years, RFP has gone freeware. It may not be the prettiest add-on by todays standards (read ‘won’t harm performance’) but for free systems simulation it’s hard to beat.

You can download it from Ralph’s Panel shop or Avsim.

Real Environment Pro

Tim Fuchs has released an extensive environment upgrade package for your sim world. It includes multiple new texture options for the sun, sky, water and airport surfaces and the amazing autogen from Feng Zhu. It’s well worth a download if you don’t own payware Flight Environment from Flight 1 or Flight Enhancer from Cielosim.

You can download the package from Avsim.

FlusiFix

Flusifix is a handy and very easy to use little program from Wolfgang Picheta that allows you to perform all the little tweaks and modifications to your fs9.cfg without any searching, viewing hidden files or risk. A must have tool.
