It’s a challenge to fly, but it’s loads of fun. This week’s Featured Freeware is the Gee Bee Model R, an aircraft from the early days of competition air racing.

In real life, it’s flown with a stick rather than a yoke, so for the most realistic experience, It is immediately identifiable thanks to the unique dihedral (upward curve) of its wings. The Robin DR400-140B is a light, general aviation aircraft of French design that’s used around the world due to its easy handling characteristics. After spending some time with the aircraft, it isn’t hard to see why: the finely tuned flight model, realistic systems modeling, great flight manuals, and a mass The Boeing 737 created by EADT as part of the x737 Project is one of the most popular freeware aircraft available for X-Plane, if not the most popular. Each year sees thousands of fly-in aircraft, campers, and visitors to this huge aviation event sponsored by the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association).

While there are not as many add-on packages and downloads for X-Plane as there is for the Microsoft Flight simulators, this is a growing section and it's becoming increasingly popular.įeatured in this section are many aircraft, vehicles, helicopters and scenery expansions for X-Plane, all available for download with your Fly Away Simulation account. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, aircraft models are all similar with a simple configuration file to provide simple flight dynamics, while in X-Plane, aircraft shapes, sizes and weights are taken into consideration in the simulation - giving more realistic flight. X-Plane is said to be more realistic in terms of flight dynamics than any of the Microsoft Flight Simulator packages, mainly because of the way X-Plane gives flight to aircraft models. With the increase in popularity, freeware developers have started creating add-ons such as aircraft and scenery packages for X-Plane.
