Start at that page, and work backwards.

There are so many, it would be a waste of time to list them all, when Pete has so graciously done it for us. Grin

Dino Cattaneo's T-45 and F-14 are great to fly. And free.

Went to the link, saw a page of downloadables. Saw one in which the designer said he made his own "thumbnails" because he hates it when others don't. What is a thumbnail? What is their purpose? When I download and install an airplane, I delete just about everything that I think serves no purpose. I swoosh away the little pictures, readme files, et cetera. In very rare cases has a plane ever failed to work. So what are these thumbnail thingies?

The thumbnail in this case is the image of the aircraft on the FSX selection menu. This feature was introduced in FSX so aircraft from earlier versions of FS won't include them.

To create your own thumbnails first take a screenshot of the specific aircraft in FSX. Then save it as Thumbnail.jpg & pop it in the texture folder of that aircraft. There is a utility that does this automatically but I haven't tried it.

Refer to the default aircraft for the size of the thumbnail image but I don't think it really matters.

I'm looking for the CORAL F-15 for FS9-- the one by Kaz Ito. You know it: Great VC, you can choose from 0, 1, 2 or 3 tanks and it has nice afterburner effects. I am hoping to find a rework that functions in FSX as well it does in FS9. Is it out there? Thanks.

Coral and Kazunori Ito are 2 different designers. Mr Ito does not do aircraft with VC's

Maybe this updated Coral F-15 will fit the bill.
