Brian has a number of other nice aircraft on flightsim.com, for FS2004 and FS2002....and for FS2000 if anyone wants to go back that far. All of the FS2002 planes that I have tried work very well in FS2004.

There are a number of nice repaints for Brian's planes on Flightsim.com.

There is also a FS2004 version of the Nooduyn Norseman with wheels, but I have to find it. The FS2002 version on Flightsim.com does not have a VC, the newer version does.

More Gems of Freeware:
Holger "The Amazing" Sandmann

His Glacier Bay scenery is done to payware standards - indeed, in shares many of the best features of his amazing Tongass Fjords payware package. It is a total-environment-upgrade, addressing almost all features of the sim in a large area of Alaska. Truly, it is a "Must-Have" scenery!
Attached are some shots of one recent flight there...
The scenery can be had at avsim and flightsim with these files names: [FONT=verdana, sans-serif]glbayv2a.zip, [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]glbayv2b.zip

I am also an enthusiastic user of Holgers truly amazing Columbia River Gorge - a large and full-featured enhancement of the Columbia River area in Washington and Oregon. It can be had at avsim with these file names: [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]cr_gorge.zip, [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]crg_upd1.zip. A very nice AI package can be found with the file name [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]gorge_ai.zip. [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]There is also an update to make this scenery compatible with Ultimate Terrain - [/FONT][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]utusacrg.zip - and another file to make it compatible with FlightZone 2: Portland - http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=231&t=75470.
This is a very nice scenery indeed! The last two shots attached show small portions of the area covered, and neither are terribly representative - but you can see that it is a very nice place anyway!

Anyone who wishes to augment my screenshots with better ones of their own may - these sceneries should not be left misrepresented by my feeble attempts!

Are you kidding??? This is exactly what I wanted! :applause:I thought I'd seen and flown most of the best out there at one time ar another, but I just tried that Falcon for the first time!

Keep it up!
 
May I add another one?

Strange thing - in german we have this saying:
"Manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Baeumen nicht!"
Hard to translate, but it should mean not to see the forest for the trees...

My today's gem is the
SOH Project A-26 Invader! :applause:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?f=49

As I just read in another thread here, even well-known and experienced repainters still put their brushes on this outstanding (yes, I know: this phrase is sometimes overstressed...) jewel!

Cheers,
Markus.
 
I'm with EMatheson - anything by Bill Lyons, with the addition of any scenery by Leon Louis to fly it. Golden Hawaii is well worth having, too.

Got another 'oldie but goodie', a scenery file this time,
freeware from Richard 'Georender' Goldstein,an fs2002 scenery that nonetheless works in fs2004,
at Avsim (and maybe a few other places)

Spotted Bear USFS (8U4)

Phototextured rendering of a US Forestry Service airstrip deep in the mountains of Western Montana. Includes ground detail and shadow effects, as well as detail and reflection on the water.
