Just got back from a year in iraq, and finally got a computer that will play fsx almost lol. I have to keep traffic almost off but its playable.. Anyway I've looked around for decent 737,757,67,777 type aircraft but not much luck. I tried a couple of posky ones that said they would work in FSX but most do not. Do you know of any good ones.

The default traffic in FSX will kill your frame rate.  Get a seperate traffic program.  I'm using Ultimate Traffic 2 and it loads the airport with A LOT of traffic.  There is also Traffic X.

As for the 767.  I really enjoy the CLS 767.  But keep in mind that it's an F-Lite add on which means it's much easier and less complex to fly compared to something like PMDG.  But still much more complex than FSX default planes.

For the 737, so far it seems the one by PMDG is the most popular.

I'm also curious about the 757 and 777 and would like to hear what others recommend.

For a freeware alterative, try World of AI - the only downside is you have to download each airline separately.

Yes they do! Most (more than 80%) are checked out before posting to make sure they work OK. Give me an example of one you can't make work?

Pete the ones I've tried is this package.. on this one the auto pilot in VC I cant see and I cant click alot of things in 2d panel.. http://fs-freeware.net/downloads/viewdownload/7/1522

On this one I cant seem to click anything like heading or airspeed with the auto pilot.http://fs-freeware.net/downloads/viewdownload/7/1915


And the reason I was saying Freeware is I my system runs it ok but its border line. If I tried to use a very complex payware plane it would probably drag the performance down to the point it would not be enjoyable anymore.

Thank you Dave good to be back even tho its only 30 days then I go back for another 3 months, then should be back for a much longer time.
