Thanks, I had a lot of those files installed on my old computer before it died. I just couldn't remember what they were called, or where I found them (lost all of my bookmarked web pages too.) Thanks for the links. Cheesy

This thread from the FAQ at the top of this board is worth checking out also, it does mention alot of what Sean has listed here, but there may be a few other tidbits in there: http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=COF;action=display;num=1116250...

Ravang, hopefully my list provided you with a few aircraft that are "off the beaten path" in cyberspace, so to speak. A few real gems in there that not many people seem to be aware of.
I of course included some of the more well known stuff in my list, but if you really look through thoroughly, I can guarantee that you will find some top quality stuff that you have never tried before!

For everything else, look through Shane's link in the post above.

I should imagine that if someone built a secret version of a secret aircraft in a secret location, Sean would have the specs available by the next day! Roll Eyes

Not only that, he could probably also tell what the designer had for lunch...

Looks like I have a few repeats on the previous page, but there are some nice rarities there.
Excuse the weird comments near some of the listings. All entries are extracted straight from my previous PM messages.

I'll try to keep tabs on this thread more and update it as needed with things that I really enjoy. Wink

Just a couple urls but these are the best of the best and no
junk really but depending on how much your lap top can handle.http://www.premaircraft.com/ Premair is really QUALITY
spelled wrong. Ya gotta get some of their aircraft.http://www.bobholland.com/fs/default.htm Old Bob has a
ton of stuff to learn and add. Real easy to understand too. As far as
scenery, check here at Simviation or AVSIM and look for the authors, Milton Shupe, and David "Opa" Marshall. Every bit of their work is
the best.

Zfly told you that!

PAD's stuff is alright...

They are lacking systems complexity and are more for a get up and go user base who are just beginning to explore FS addons, but they provide a reasonable Do-228, Mu-2, and Shorts series. Not top quality by any means when compared to most other aircraft, but better than most people could do, and still nice representations of those aircraft! All in all, I would suggest grabbing the Shorts series aircraft from them first and foremost, but in my opinion, you can find better representations of the DHC-6 series and DHC-8 series through Eric Dantes, and Dreamwings, respectively.

I have already mentioned Shupe's great addons in a previous post in this thread. Keep on the lookout at the end of this month for a new Beechcraft A28 Destroyer/XA-38 Grizzly by Shupe and others.

I'm pretty sure that the best aircraft addon is SectionF8's F-86. It puts all other FS2004 military aircraft to shame, and there are over 160 downloadable skins for it ranging from USAF textures to SriLankan textures. A thoroughly amazing aircraft.
