Starting my one-aircraft-per-day updates is this beautiful glider. David Rowberry isplainly very talented and this model is perfectly crafted inside and outside. Even if you’re not into gliders the view and maneuverability is excellent and it’s good fun to fly… or just look at. The file is available for FSX and FS9 and can be downloaded from Avsim.

Ever wanted lots of traffic around your local airfield but have no idea how to set up a flight plan and no money to purchase software that might not even cover your area? No problem with GA traffic! Choose planes from your hangar and generate those flight plans. There are many options to tweak but the instant satisfaction of lots of general aviation buzzing around pleased me a lot.

The program is available at avsim.

Oliver Fischer is a talented man as we’ve seen in my review of his Junkers 52 but his rendition of the German answer to the Tiger Moth is in my opinion is even better, it’s just so much fun! A gorgeous VC and gauge set combined with the graceful looks make a fun days simming around your favourite GA airfield. Visit Junkers-52.de to download the self installing package.

Over the next weeks I’m going to try and list a quality freeware item as I have a long backlog but never any time.

Kicking it off we have the new FranceVFR Twin Otter from veteran Eric Dantes. Not to be confused with the past versions for FS2002 or FS2004 this new release features high resolution textures, smoother modelling, a high resolution VC and other improvements. It’s a really nice package!

The Twotter can be found in the FranceVFR plane pack or downloaded freely from their forums. You have to be a member and provide a confirmation email if you want it. You could be good and also buy their products!

If you follow fsdeveloper.com at all you will have seen this great little light aircraft grow to life. The team of Oskari Syynimaa (Panel and textures) and Hans Pålsson (modelling) have produced a slick exterior, gorgeous VC and some of the best GA panels I have ever seen.You can download the aircraft and its updates from FSNordic.
