What freeware aircraft come with DCS World?

"This free download includes a vast mission area of the Caucasus region and Black Sea that encompasses much of Georgia. It also includes a flyable Russian Sukhoi Su-25T ground attack aircraft and the famous WWII North American TF-51D fighter. An additional more than two dozen aircraft are available for purchase."

There are also a number of freeware mods such as the A-4 Skyhawk and MB-339A, but the real good stuff is obviously the paid modules.

I would also add Edge 540 mod by Virtual Air Racing Series if you are into crazy aerobatics/air racing experience. Finally there is an AH-6J flight model demo mod, which isn't as polished as some other high quality free mods like mentioned A-4, MB-339, and Edge 540, but is the only free helicopter experience so far.

There's also one caveat about TF-51D, I wouldn't call it a fighter, because all its armament is stripped/disabled, so it is an unarmed Mustang. But it is full fidelity with clickable cockpit. While the Su-25T is fully combat capable, but doesn't have clickable cockpit.

Some months ago I've made this thingie to help with people starting DCS on this very question: 

So if you want a longer answer about which one's good for what, which one has what features etc, feel free to watch  It is slightly outdated though, Edge 540 wasn't released yet back then. Also a more advanced flight model is in development for A-4 as far as I know.

All free modules mentioned are nice, (not mods), and there is also a free Hercules module. Forgot the the Discord link, but just Google it.
Cheers!
