i like the Beech King Air 300 from avsim ( sry for no link ).  it has great sounds in my opinion, a functional VC and cabin and the best, an integrated gps at the fron panel, looks amazing :lol: . it also comes with a written check list on the kneeboard.
flying abilities, well i have no comparison the real king airs but it is a LOT better than FSX default ones :lol:

in short: a great prop for vfr routes to island hop or discover the beauty of the canadian west-coast

btw. i think nearly every posky aircraft is great, hiroshi and the rest of the team are just brilliant.

What do you mean by "posky"? Is that a "brand" of Downlaodable aircraft? Sorry for my ignorance. I am always looking for better birds to fly.

Posky the best-- however would like to see more FSX planes. The ones for FS9 do work in FSX but you have to often add vc and sound. The Bombardier at the top is totally FSX compatable. :lol:

Same here. Best freeware aircraft ever made in my opinion. Better than the POSKYies!

Nice plane, but where can you fly it and have it fit the time period-in FSX-any circa 1917 airports in FSX?
FS9 did have those historical old airports--but this Fokker  only for FSX?

Bah! Even so, why do you need to fly in an environment relative to your aircraft? Its just like you're flying a vintage plane in today's world- and there are plenty of grass strips all over (they're just hard to see!)!


But yeah, this thing is for fsx only. Bummer for the fs2004 fans, this is a good reason to convert to fsx! (yes like a religion! :lol:)

The airport scenery it comes with is right in the middle of the France VFR Southern Alps, I think.  I can't recall which pack it is but here's some shots with the France VRF scenery along with the Banana Bob Jasta 18 repaint.  Its not the Red Baron though as he was in Jasta 11.

Har...I figured that. I guess I should be more specific. What are the precise steps? I've never used a paint kit or modified the livery of an aircraft before. How do you do it?
