Aircraft for FS2004?

July 3, 2006 11:13 AM

Does anyone know of a website that offers decent to high quality downloads for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004?

I'm mostly looking for single engine props and turbo props made from 1935 to 1950. If anyone knows of a great site for that sort of thing I would be very appreciative.

Response by poster: I should have added, free preferrable. But if the aircraft is nice enough, I would be willing to buy it. Thanks!

I know Abacus has free trial downloads for all their planes. I don't know if they have what you need, but they were the only place to get a Diamond Katana back when I was learning to fly in one.

There's flightsim.com, which has all sorts of mostly freeware stuff (including, but not limited to) aircraft. It's sometimes a pain to get to the file section (there are a limited number of "slots", and you have to constantly try logging in to actually get in sometimes; you can pay for a yearly membership that will always get you right in. Everything is uploaded by individuals, and there's not really any quality control, so there are some very well-done models and liveries and some that are just so-so.

biggest/bestest resource I know:

avsim file library

or, more pertinently, the avsim forums, where you can get good recommendations for freeware and payware a/c.
