looking for new planes :)

[jkronber]

Hey everyone! Can anyone recommend a good site to get some plane add-ons? I'd like to kind of spice up my flying life

If you want payware, Someone else could recommend some but I don't fly payware.

Payware?
Flight 1, The DF727 is great, Level-D 767 is even better: http://www.flight1.com
PMDG, very advanced and accurate Boeings: http://www.precisionmanuals.com
PSS, lots of good quality aircraft (but avoid the A340 like the plauge): http://www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk
Simmarket is just a shopping centre of FS stuff, but hit and miss with some of it: http://www.simmarket.com

For alternative freeware, may I recommend Classic British Flight Sim?
http://www.cbfsim.org
Dave Maltbys stuff is briliant!

Payware?
PMDG no doubt, not cheap but worth every penny. http://www.precisionmanuals.com

Level D 767 is a awesome plane too. http://www.leveldsim.com

I agree with Ryan's recommendations.

I, too, normally fly only freeware, although I've bought ONE model, a PSS a320, which I like very much.

But for sheer excellence, it's hard to beat David Maltby's BAC One Eleven....And it's freeware!!

You aren't by a long shot. There are actually quite a few who don't use payware aircraft. I tried one once, but didn't really feel all that
satisfied. So I avoid payware aircraft, and generally customize/fix the free stuff to suit my taste.

You can try IFly's excellent 747-400 freeware if you want.. Make sure you pick up your SP1 and SP2 updates.

Available on AVSIM.

Spicy eh? Might also check out:

http://www.simviation.com/hjg/

Home of the early Boeing 707, Douglas DC-8 and Convair 880/990 families. Exquiste visual models, and excellent FDE's, 2D panels
and sounds. Historic Jetliners Group is truly a labour of love and the team there has produced a site and freeware addons and articles
on the planes and their era that is almost unique. HJG is complemented nicely by California Classics at:

http://www.calclassic.com/

Home of the round engined classic DC-4, DC-6, DC-7, Convair 240, 340, 440, 580, Boeing 377 Stratocruiser and other superb models.
CalClassic is an awesome FS resource including panels, sounds and some of the best, most innovative scenery found on the net (in my
opinion).

Forget GPS, auto landing and flight managment computers, it's paperwork flightplans, fuel charts and EB-6 circular slide rules with these
aircraft. You might become an addict...

Cheers

Aerosoft is also a good place to look!
