For lovers of twin engined GA

I know that you know about the Baron and the twin Bonanza. I found a beautiful Piper Apache in simviation with various textures and a beautiful vc. Check it out; you won't be disappointed.

Well with the kerfuffle surrounding the Aeroplane Heaven Grumman Xf-5;
I recommend their Grumman F3 (its' a bi-plane,with a round engine) too.
First out for fs2002,but does work in fs9, wonderful gear animation.

Get it via Aeroplane Heaven's own site. (and don't forget to d/l the gauges too)

I was doing a random search for aerobatic types the other day. Stumbled onto this. For some reason I couldn't view the pictures of it, so I downloaded it and installed it. When it loaded in the sim, I was amazed :jawdrop:

FS2004 1938 Aeronca Model K (straight K). Built using FSDS2. Includes a 2D panel and a virtual cockpit. Uses 16 bit and DXT3 textures to save on file size. This is a daytime VFR aircraft and so does not carry radios or avioncs. By Steven D. Myers.[/SIZE]
 
OK, back to some older scenery,for those that like a little enhancement to
'bush' airstrips, go here -----> http://www.timberwolfaviation.com/downloads/index.php
and search out those sceneries by 'Frank Betts'

Franks' own site closed down maybe 2/3 yrs ago, and though the pages are archived in the 'wayback machine'
you won't find the d/loads there,and even the timberwolf site is starting to lose files, so I'd say grab what you can before its' gone.

This is his 'Bronson Creek' (CAB5) enhancement

For flying boat lovers

Please check out the Vought-Sikorsky flying boat with full VC and cabin and with beaching gear available on simviation. It has the livery of Avalon Air Transport, that used to ferry passengers in California.

Beautiful freeware. Don't miss it.

Former payware package uploaded with permission of original authors. Built by the Waco Classic Aircraft Corporation this new/old biplane combines the beautiful and classic lines of the 1930s Waco and the new world of modern avonics. Of all the antique and/or classic biplanes of the pre-war era, the Waco is certainly the most beautiful of them all and Bill Lyons has packaged several repaints of the wheeled version and 2 repaints of a float version in this single download. Having an excellent dynamic 3D virtual cockpit (as all of Bill's aircraft have had since the days of FS98) and excellent sounds, this is truly an FS classic! Bear! [/FONT]

I see some of Tom Fica's stuff is there also. He has his own site as well.

I wouldn't be without Tom's, Chekok Lake or Merrill Pass.
