MSFS - Add-ons and Releases thread

Well you can change the Avatar in that menu to a different KIND of Millennial.

But, as a group, they still all look like guests at a party to which I would no longer be invited. :grin:

For the most part it hardly is noticeable. But in some of the vintage open cockpit jobs, itā€™d be nice to see an Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, Tuskegee Airman, USAAC/RAF/IJN/etc type character.

EDIT: I thought about it and realized the the MILVIZ Corsair had a nice pilot model.

I wonder how difficult it would be to import it to the sim in generalā€¦

My co-worker and fellow sim enthusiast, sent me this link.

It looks great, but I wish it was a 737 or something. Iā€™m sort of airbusā€™d out.

Yeah, I thought the same. ā€œAnother A320?ā€

Thereā€™s a pretty decent freeware F-22 Raptor which you can grab here:

Another nice freeware airplaneā€¦

I just took it for a quick flightā€¦really fun to fly and nicely done. You can remove the cowl, and there are some nice static elements including tie-downs, a fuel barrel with a manual pumpā€¦oh, and your co-pilot is a cat. :smiley_cat:

I wasnā€™t joking about the cat!

Too bad that T-6 isnt flyable.

A T-6 is an airplane I would definitely buy for my MSFS hangar.

And to reinforce the aboveā€¦this one came out todayā€¦ the YSIM - SUBSONEX JSX-2 .




It looks like a combination of the BD-5 and a Cirrus Vision Jet. Very simple to fly, great view out the cockpit. It scoots along at over 200 Knots. Fun if you like this kind of thing (I do). At $19 USD (16 Euros) it wonā€™t break the bank, but I do think there are better value aircraft available at a similar price. :sunglasses:

The SubSonex is such a quirky cool looking little jet!
Available as a DIY kitā€¦ One nice feature is the engine. Need maintenance? Just send the engine to the factory.
I need this for MSFS. :sunglasses:

It is a fun little airplane. It seems well behaved (ie it doesnā€™t try to kill you if you look the other way for a moment).

One thing I noticed is that you can easily scrape the tail on landing. You need to keep a fairly flat attitude and set it down before the speed bleeds off too much.

Yeah, simple straight wings.
I wonder how the excess thrust is at low speeds and if you can risk ending up behind the curve and perhaps with a slow spool-upā€¦?

I can imagine. Those are short legsā€¦

Iā€™d have to test the spool up. I havenā€™t found myself in that position yet. Iā€™m on the road until Monday so Iā€™ll give it a try when I get home. You will probably have more time in it than me by then though :rofl:.
