Canman99 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Hi, I am a relative newbie to Flightsimming, but I am really enjoying it. I was wondering if someone could list some of the best freeware mods and addons out there. Screenshots would be nice, too. Like everyone, I want to make my flightsim realistic and fun. I am interested in finding the best runway texture, the best Canadian scenery and also AI aircraft. I have AI aircraft from Project AI. Are they the best, or is there something else? (freeware)
169th Taipan Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I love in FSX & 2004 the big Plane selection. Specially this Website: http://www.simviation.com/downloads.html http://www.169thpanthers.com.au/
some1 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 The better look of the FS: New better clouds (after install you can choose many different schemes): http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=fsw&CatID=fs2004scen&Go=Search RealityPack (many visual enhancements, textures, objects, water etc): http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=realitypack&CatID=fs2004scen&Go=Search Default Airports upgrade (I'm not sure if something similar isn't included in reality pack above): http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=Airport+Environment+Upgrade&CatID=fs2004scen&Go=Search Glacier bay Alaska/Canada (there are 2 parts of this scenery to download): http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=99082&Cookie=1 Here is a database of almost all sceneries for almost all countries so go and find something :) http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.php Aircrafts, here is my favourite freeware trio: The best from the best from the best of freeware: Tupolev Tu-154b http://www.fs-proteam.com/products.html?op=one&id=18&pw_patt=catalog (a bit photoshopped screens, but I like them) Boeing 747-400, with complete avionics including FMC http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=ifly&CatID=fs2004ac&Go=Search Saab J-35J Draken, in my opinion the only military jet worth playing in FS2004: http://flightsim.bookmark.se/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=11 Unfortunately these aircrafts are hardcore ones, as real as it gets, so if you can't fly the default planes included in FS2004, don't even touch them :) There are also many good addons which were given a reward here (check also previous years) http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/votr-all.htm simviation.com , flightsim.com , avsim.com are the pages where you need to go when you want new addon for FS. Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro
