Not that I know of, the only jets you can download for CFS3 are Korean-era planes like the F-86 and Mig 15.
I beleive this is because CFS3 has issues with supersonic flight.

There is a tornado and a F16 (payware) : google "tornado + cfs3" and you'll find them.
The Korean add-on is freeware :

Once you get into the high transonic range CFS3 which is actually based on a civil flight engine breaks down as far as flight model fidelity is concerned.

True supersonic planes like the F-100 on can be modeled visually but their basic flight characteristics are no longer very accurate.

Was this a problem in the earlier CFS's as well?

Yes. The series was never meant to support anything faster then a P-80. Possibly the reason Korea & Viet Nam were never considered to be a follow-on theaters.

CFS3 is the most refined of the lot & is the best in simulating high transonic aircraft like the F-86.

BTW our first ever CFS3 aircraft which was released the same day as the game was released was a Korean era jet.

The Panther F9F-5 maxed out at about 604 mph @ sea level & 543 mph at 35,00 feet.

Every user with a bit of character in his bones will boycott flyawaysimulations as they rip off freeware designer's work without permission and load it into their pay for download area.
There is nothing on that site that you wouldn't get elsewhere for free!

A low life leach site that steals other peoples work for resale. Angry

The suckers that pay for this site are generally unaware that the planes are all available for free at other sites like this one.
