Revision as of 08:50, 18 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) and the second list contains freeware models.


PAYWARE
