The Just Flight Spitfire package is nice (should have the wee issues sorted with the patch v.shortly).
Otherwise I'd go freeware Wink

The Aeroworx Harvard/Texan look very promising too, and the Captain Sim Yak-3 is on offer at the moment and is great fun to fly (small aeroplane+big engine= Grin )

The Icarus Golden Wings collection has quite a few WWII planes, but I found the Mustang to be a bit lacking.  The above mentioned planes are all awesome, and Aeroplane Heaven keeps threatening to release their Corsair package soon.  Who knows when they will, but it looks awesome...

Not a big fan of Icarus - I found the Lysander very disappointing...

The same reason you need any payware version of a plane.  As good as the freeware versions are (and they are excellent), the payware versions will usually knowck your socks off.  Smiley

LOL Grin Not as long as the queue for the Capt. Sim C-130. Or you could try the new SimShed one here at SimV. It looks very good...

Unless a developer has access to the real world plane they are modeling I'd stay with freeware.  The exception of course is the MAAM B-25 and WOP.  The thing with most WW 2 war birds is that the real planes are in short supply and the men who flew them are even in shorter supply and getting shorter everyday.  There for a gaurenteed correct flight model may be hit or miss.
