Revision as of 19:18, 20 August 2016

This page will list the aircraft add-ons that have been tested with FlyInside. The list states how well the aircraft work, as far as control is concerned, as well as how the cockpit looks. The latter is, of course, subjective, and a model having a VC which doesn't look that great but works in FlyInside might still be worth flying. It's a personal thing, subject to what the virtual pilot finds acceptable.

The first list will consist only of paid add-ons (payware), listed alphabetically according to publisher, the second list contains freeware models listed alphabetically by aircraft manufacturer.


PAYWARE
