Love the Moose on the rudder and the squirrel on the nose. Happy cartoon memories!

The Aerosoft payware is very nice too. Amphibs, skis, floats, tundra tires...gps on dash...

It's rather old, but still my favorite.
Inexpensive download, I have the disk.

Freeware found it at Fly Away Simulations - 2 liveries and I think there are also wheeled versions.

Good quality freeware (clickable VC with a few popups for fuel control, magnetos, electrical panel, radio and GPS) and I like the sound of the radial as well.

Thats good freeware wave

Hey, you do have the DRI don't you?

Some of Bill Lyons planes circa FS9, are now updated to FSX. I loved his Goose in FS9 and was glad to see it in the deluxe FSX. Bill had a neat program that changed the time in Hawaii, the virtual cockpit showed the passengers or cargo, unlike the FSX version.

Sometimes it is a toss up between the Beaver and the Scout. The Scout is slower and can't haul as much, just a passenger and 110 in the amphib model. More in wheeled, either regular or Tundra.

One of my favorite Hot Rods, a racer with dual props.




Have a FW-190 I love to BnZ in, but no "Racer" ....

I don't have "Air Hauler", but use my imagination and set up flights like that. I like to pretend I'm smuggling at times. Taking the Goose from the exellent still site freeware, and...wherever I want to land, the more remote the better. Tongass fjords for a final, Prince Rupert area for a stop, sometimes up the water too....

... sometimes I'm hauling the Swedish Bikini Swim Team aroud Tahiti...lol
