To avoid having a thread about recommendable aircraft add-ons every odd couple of days, here are two lists compiled by the folks at Sim-Outhouse.

FSX native freeware aircraft:

FSX native payware aircraft:

"Native" = Built to FSX's model format standard and thus supporting features like spec and bump mapping

Are these lists complete?
Certainly not, but you've got quite a bit of stuff to waste your money and/or time on for a start.



Mods: I suggest pinning this thread to the top of the forum.
