I was thinking that we should start a list of good freeware/payware alternates to our stock fleet aircraft. For example, if you wanted a little more realistic 747, but didn't want a payware model, you could try the iFly 747. Or, if you wanted a freeware 737-700 with a VC, the 737 Experience by Moach. Anyone else think this is a good idea? The stock fleet aircraft are great, I just personally like having a VC, and the more realistic, the better. I think it'd be nice to have a list to come to when you were looking/shopping for a better aircraft.

Of course! I agree with u, VC makes it more realistic with every aircraft!

But some things do need to be changed.The Project Airbus planes are much better than IFDG. The POSKY fills in nicely for the Meljet 777 as well.

I have, Andrew, I was just suggesting a thread dedicated to different choices for those of us who are looking for alternates
