I just wanna hear your opinion on my issue....as we all know there are a lot of websites where all of us can download all different aircraft for free,but in my opinion that is all low quality aircraft which will not preforme in a way I enjoy my default FSX aircraft.The gauges are too small to the point I need to put a lot of efford to read them,the plane would make weird moves and it is really difficult to enjoy flying.I do not wanna sound like old grumpy guy,and I do admire those guys who leave for us choice to fly their aircraft basicly for free as I know that there are a lot of hours spent to create these free add-ons.Are you guys really enjoy flying aircraft what is up for downloads or you have same issues and just try to enjoy what you got for free?Why Microsoft would not create add-ons what we could buy,but in same time it would be high quality.Maybe they do and I just don't know where to get them as I would buy them for sure.I better spend a bit of money then try to pay too much attention to my PC screen trying to figure it out what is shown on gauges instead of enjoing flight itself.Share with all of us your thoughts and maybe I am wrong,but this is what bugs me the most,real nice planes,great choice ,nice livery but it's just super hard to fly them cause of those small gauges,many controls would not work or even they dont have them etc...thank you

Well there are some good freeware planes and there are bad ones. I have flown some great ones like Project Fokker 100/70/28 very realistic and fun. There are alot of great freeware plane makers out there which make great planes. There are also payware planes which cost anywhere from $15 to $50 and these are very realistic highly detailed planes which you buy from websites. Alot of these planes are simulations like PMDG's very realistic. If you like the default planes you would love these with working FMC and full working overhead panels etc...

Could you tell me some of the payware webs so I could check them?
Thank you!

I wouldn't count on them being better. As FlyMIA says, there are a lot of freeware aircraft that are better than the default FS offerings.

PMDG's 747-400:

Level-D's 767:

Be warned - you will have to read the manuals to fly these.  Smile


... but I may be wrong

Justflight.com has alot of them for sale there. I would reccomend Level D 767, any PMDG aircraft, Wilco 737-400 pro, and PSS Dash-8-300. But I am not sure if all these planes can work with FSX.
