I really like flyawaysimulation. They have such a huge collection of freeware and it's the best flight simming blog I've read so far for FSX, plus they always update the blogs every year like the top 35 best freeware page for example. Carcharias only if they have it, or else they would see the aircraft thet have that is the most similar to yours.
Carcharias 9 Nov, am. Question: If you import an aircraft skin from flyawaysimulations, would other players be able to see the skin in a online lobby? Tiger 8 Nov, am. I like Rikoooo but it uses up to much hard disk space Share to your Steam activity feed. You need to sign in or create an account to do that.

World-of-AI Installer. Quite possibly the most complete freeware Boeing pack for FSX and Prepar3D is this one we have featured in our file library here. Containing three different models including the , , and Advanced along with 25 liveries and repaints even including cargo airlines. Everything has been included including a custom sound pack, three different models , , ADV along with over 25 liveries based on real-world passenger and cargo airlines.
Oh, and a fully functional 3D VC virtual cockpit is also included. Along with all mentioned above, also included is a full flight manual for the aircraft with recommended settings, checklists, and procedures.
This is a huge mega pack containing a complete Boeing F model along with over 32 repaints and liveries based on real-world cargo aircraft. The model is based on the original POSKY model from many years ago however has been modified based on user feedback.
Users report the aircraft is unusually hard to turn on taxiways and on the ground. We have tweaked the model and aircraft. The model features a brand-new fully functional 3D VC virtual cockpit that could even satisfy VR setups. Most of the buttons, switches, and animations are fully functional in the VC. The video above was produced in v5. The P-3C Orion is a well known military surveillance and anti-submarine military aircraft that really has stood the test of time - originally released for service in and still in use today by some units.
No FS port-overs or conversions. You can have fun with a piece of aviation history. Also included with this "complete pack" are lots of advanced animations along with a fully functional and complete 3D Virtual Cockpit VC. Many users of these next-gen sims only seem to want to fly with aircraft that have a 3D VC and this has one.
I am more used to 2D panels - but I guess that shows my age! It's a fun aircraft to fly and perfect for carrier-ops - an aircraft carrier is a home to this bird and we have a great freeware carrier available here. As the latest take on the ever-popular Douglas C SkyTrain, Version 3 offers a whole new host of impressive changes. Adding much-improved realism to the cockpit with a whole new sound suite alongside impressive crew communication systems, this is a fine choice for pilots who enjoy an extra touch of immersion.
This impressive development should make it easy for you to utilize an audible checklist, too, further improving your ability to control this impressive piece of kit. From the authentic and impressive model to the realism of the interior, this is a very close take on the SkyTrain overall. This classic by Jan Visser is constantly seeing new developments and versions, too, making it a popular choice for those who love flying the "Sky Train". Originally developed quite a few years ago by Mario Noriega for FSX, with some tweaks this is now also compatible with Prepar3D v4 and what a beauty it is.
The Piaggio P. It's a one-of-a-kind aircraft and has a strange configuration with a stabilizer at the front of the aircraft by the nose. It's also has a very strange humming sound if you've ever heard one fly in real life.
This model features a full passenger cabin area, custom sound pack and a fully animated and working virtual cockpit VC. Also included with this "mega pack" are over 30 stunning HD repaints based on real-world versions of the P. Even the aircraft that regularly flies into my local planespotting airport London City is included!
New for the year in the Fly Away Simulation add-on library is this stunner of a pack featuring the Boeing-Stearman model When you think of a bi-plane you automatically imagine the Stearman although you may not know the name. It's one of the most iconic and famous bi-planes to exist. Designed and released in the s and providing active military service until the s - this aircraft has served some years.
Many still exist in private hands and fly even to this day. The model features a fully working and functional 3D VC virtual cockpit along with many other features and perks to go along with it. Over 8 repaints are included as standard featuring both military and civilian paints with plans to add many more to the "mega pack" - so bookmark the download page to stay up to date with the latest liveries released for this pack.
Designed and built by UK company de Havilland in the s, this aircraft is very well known by all aviation enthusiasts who know their early stuff. The "Moth" is a bi-plane aircraft that features two wings instead of one and is likely iconic and well-known because of that. The model features a working VC with custom "smooth" gauges to make flight even more realistic.
Also featured are many more perks of a period aircraft such as wheel chocks, pitot cover, and tie-downs. The pack includes over 20 repaints and liveries for the model exclusive to Fly Away Simulation in a single pack.
All of the repaints are based on real-world representations of the aircraft used over the years. Watch the video above, it makes an interesting watch, and in our opinion this release is truly sensational. Another from Dino Cattaneo - he creates such great military aircraft that we have featured two of his models! Its first flight was in so this aircraft is a little gray around the whiskers, although they were retrofitted with some modern cons and features.
Dino has created this aircraft to great detail and includes some really nice bump-mapped textures with the package.
She flies quite nicely, is easy to control but at the same time very realistic. The version I'm linking to here is the second draft v2.
At one stage owned by McDonnell Douglas, the Boeing T Goshawk received a huge amount of praise when it first came on the market; and the reasons why are fairly obvious once you get to see it in action. A massively modified of the BAE Hawk land-based aircraft; this added a whole new army of features to help improve the firepower and flight capacity of the aircraft.
This new version includes a brand new visual model, a fully functional virtual cockpit, and new high definition textures for FSX. He didn't mention how many livery designs came with the download, however, I can see there are about three although there could be more. At over MB in size, it's quite a large download but the bulk of that size goes to the higher definition textures. It's one of the better Goshawk packages out there - and certainly the best freeware available. Included is a full flight manual of over pages PDF.
The model features a new visual model, with self-shadowing, bump mapping and photoreal hi-res textures, working virtual dynamic cockpit, 3D gauges, and a completely new flight model. The Boeing B is a very impressive aircraft that, for its time, was among the best in its class. While today it feels awfully aged, simulation fans who like a throwback might enjoy picking up this particular take on a popular model.
This stunning pack brings the Superfortress to life and includes 5 different repaints and models. This model is one of the finest we have seen for a while which is why we have featured it here.
It has received a complete 5 out of 5-star rating from our PRO members. At just over 24 MB it's also an easy one to download. The aircraft model has been developed by the team at TDS including developers such as Hiroshi Igami, Nick Wilkinson, Kyle Scherb, and many other big names in the freeware developer industry.
The model developed for FSX and even works in P3D has a host of features including hi-def textures so you won't have any pixelation on the actual paint when loaded in the sim.
It has many 3D perks including animated nose wheels, rudder lock, spoilers for use on the ground. It also has a fully working 3D virtual cockpit VC that many users favor these days. I am used to 2D panels and prefer them myself but I have noticed a shift and people now only seem to use 3D VC's.
The model also has opening ground doors, fully animated rolling wheels along with night lighting full , and ground service vehicles such as baggage and fuel. We have created a featured video and loads of screenshots that you can check out on the file library page before you decide on downloading.
The file also includes a full installer package so you don't have to manually install the aircraft. It began commercial flights in and continued until The first supersonic jet airliner, the Concorde was able to shuttle passengers across the Atlantic in half the time. This is a fantastically realistic package that will give you all the help that you need in settling down into the incredibly fun virtual Concorde cockpit.
The flight characteristics are like the real plane itself—powerful but touchy. It takes some getting used to, but any chance to fly an iconic plane like the Concorde is a treat.
I couldn't finish the jet section without mentioning something more exotic. The HondaJet is produced in Japan by Honda, which I'm sure you may have heard of because of their cars. They actually manufacture aircraft too among other things.
Its first flight was in and commercial production began in , making it one of the newest and most modern private jets available. The modeling by Mitsuya has been done to very high detail and you can really notice it when looking at the aircraft externally. As you might imagine with an aircraft of this sheer caliber and class, the attention to detail is almost second to one; as the first-ever released by the Honda Aircraft Company, this device found it easy to break into the market and capture the attention of people due to its sleek design.
While the file size is not that large, you really wouldn't notice it from looking at the aircraft. In fact, when choosing what to download I'm the type that usually goes on file size - expecting larger to be better While not much documentation comes with the file, it has many features including animated steps up to the aircraft, a female co-pilot in the cockpit, and a fully animated virtual cockpit. The paint scheme is Honda's original factory colors which are white and blue with "Honda" in red painted on the engines.
Honda actually manufactures their own engines too for this aircraft, which is very rare as you usually see external manufacturers create the engines for aircraft. You'll enjoy this one It was well known in the FS days as quite possibly the best free package available and many of the reviews, comments, and ratings reflect that.
The port to FSX was made possible by David Grindele who converted certain aspects of the package such as the aircraft. The was a reshaped and reformed version of the , with more than 20 feet of length added on for good measure. Also, an extra ten-foot fuselage section was brought in to go in front of the wings, as well as the same again behind them. The aircraft itself had a five-year lifespan before the Advanced came along in However, more than of these aircraft were created and have since become hugely popular among flight collectors and simulation fans all over.
This file includes some great features including wing views, engine smoke, and full compatibility with Shockwave's 3D landing lights enhancement. The file is a whopper at over MB as it includes full liveries with hundreds of airline paint schemes all in one package. Quite possibly the most realistic and fully functional free package is this one from the developers at iFly. If you're a more serious simmer with attention to detail then you won't be disappointed by this one.
Sometimes it's hard to believe this one isn't payware and with many strong reviews and ratings, the community seems to love this aircraft. The editions have moved forward with the times more and include a far more efficient to fly and equally safe to use aircraft. The wingtip extensions were also included to give this model something a bit more unique aesthetically — however, it also comes with a glass cockpit that can easily fit two crews.
The picture above does not do this file justice, you have to check out the download page for all the screenshots and details. Also included are 3D cabin models so you can explore the plane while in flight as if you were a passenger on the aircraft. A virtual 3D cockpit is also included and it fully functions with features such as working switches and displays yes, in virtual cockpit mode!
While the Canadair CL is a much larger aircraft, I thought I'd add it to this section as I wanted to share it with you. You may already have seen it before on TV or in real life delivering water to forest fires or any other types of fire. It's known as the "waterbomber".
Its first flight was in the '60s and is still in service to this very day, putting out fires worldwide. Production went all the way up to the '90s and over were built. The Canadair CL is also well known for "scooping" up oil spills at sea and has been given the nickname, "super-scooper". Flying this aircraft is a great blast excuse the pun - you can simulate forest fires or oil spills and respond with your very own model of the Canadair CL In fact, there are complimenting missions to add alongside this aircraft to make it more realistic and meaningful.
The 3D modeling is of a very high standard and many developers have got together to create this beauty, which is why I haven't assigned it to one individual. The aircraft includes a 3D virtual cockpit and standard 2D panel too - so you can have the best of both.
The aircraft is amphibious so you can land it on a runway when needed and also make a sea landing too to pick up water supplies. This Citation created purely for FSX not backward compatible by Alejandro Lucena is one of the best free native models available. In fact, it's one of the most popular private jet aircraft we have in our library. With support for DirectX 10, you can really get some eye candy going on with this add-on.
The model was created in Gmax - which enables the developer to give much attention to detail - and that shows for sure. As a truly epic aircraft that received a huge amount of acclaim when it first hit the markets in the late s, the Cessna Citation has long been a really important member of the business jet lineage.
The flight dynamics of this model how it flies in the sky were created by Brett Henderson who actually pilots a real-life Citation He was very particular and you can expect very realistic flight dynamics for ultimate realism when flying. Like many of the other "best of" aircraft featured above, this one features a fully functional and interactive virtual cockpit for those who prefer that to a 2D panel system.
The aircraft also has many dynamic moving parts and special animations including a front cargo and passenger door. There are a few livery styles chucked in with this file, however, none of them are commercial names you may have heard of - in fact they are all default private livery styles - but hey, you're flying a private jet A strange one to begin with, as it's a very unusual aircraft.
Originally designed and created to provide a low-cost alternative to buying a helicopter, the Edgley Optica is British built. Its first flight was in The design of the aircraft is very strange with a cockpit area that almost looks like a helicopter cabin strapped to a pair of wings.
It provided great views while in flight with almost degree visibility. You could also look directly down from the cockpit - just as you can in most helicopters.
The prospect of a hybrid between both had never really been looked into until now, and it posted a very interesting question with regards to the design and quality of the aircraft itself — with just 21 built, this still managed to beat expectations and helped to pave the way for more aircraft. The virtual model created by Craig Richardson has been recreated to a very high standard.
