Savoia Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero

It was the most important Italian bomber of World War II, this tough three-engined aircraft established a reputation that contrasted with most Italian weapons of the day, and it was flown with courage and skill. The aircraft may be ugly on the outside but inside there is nothing but beautiful work. This is just a fantastic piece of freeware from Manuele Villa. Download from Avsim or check out his other great work.

Virtual Wings Avia BH-5

Koolhoven FK58

This beauty is another great plane from Mike (Oldliner) Migaud. Lovely exterior and the fully 3D interior is an even nicer placer to be. Gentle flight dynamics make this little warbird a lot of fun to all sim abilities. Members of Sim Outhouse can download the plane, for others the filename is FK58.zip =)

Vlajkovic and Sons St.Georg

This tiny plane from 1927 not only drags an advertisement but is a great advertisement for this teams abilities. Great fun to fly and lovingly crafted. A must for those lazy days flying. You download the plywood plane from Avsim.

Ralf Kreibich’s Dornier Komet / Merkur

The Dornier Komet III / Merkur was an early German airliner and Ralf Kreibich has come up with another winner in his short line of early German aircraft. There is a beautifully modelled and textured exterior with 3D passengers and animated crew but inside it gets even better with fully 3D modelled instruments, clickable controls and animated parts that flap in the wind. A truly awesome freeware package and you’re not even limited to a single model, there’s three to choose from! Download it from Avsim or check out his other models.

Robert Sanderson’s Hawker Hurricane IID ‘Tin Opener’

Robert Sanderson’s work has been increasingly hard to find but certainly worth the effort. Not only is this plane of the most detailed models availible within this simulator it also sounds just right and has a complete joy to fly. Also included in the auto-installer package is some desert scenery and some example flights. If you have the power to run this beast smoothly in virtual cockpit of exterior view I highly suggest you do. Head over to Sim Outhouse and get counting the 3D modelled rivets!
