Historical Archive

This post was originally started in late 2023 to find a winner for the Freeware category of my main Aircraft Charts topic but has since evolved into an ongoing Table of the best Freeware in various categories.

Below is the original results from votes received up to the end of 2023, just leaving here for archival purposes.

In parallel to my Poll & Vote Topic for Best Aircraft Product of 2023 (if you have not voted there yet, please do!): POLL & VOTE: Your Single TOP AIRCRAFT of 2023!

  • Or Improvement Mods to other default Asobo aircraft
  • I will edit this table and put the top votes at the top from now until the 31st December. The winner will take the Best Freeware award in my 2023 Chart Awards show in my Top 10 Aircraft thread :smiley:
  • This is not done as a Poll, as there are already more than 20 (limit for a poll) and I would not be able to edit the answers.

My ONE vote is for the Scrapyard Monster by @LordFrites - an absolutely amazing work of love and really it should be payware, but I am glad it’s not otherwise we wouldn’t have all those cool branded stickers all over it!

There’s also been the 787 freeware. Kuro 787-8, Horizonsim 787-9

I vote for Duckworks DC-3. No contest for me (respectfully to others).

Is that 2 things? Are you voting for one?

Yes two different mods for base working title 787. Both have unique models. I honestly struggle to choose between one of them or say the cessna t-7 and cessna a-37 which are just so well done for freeware that they make you want to go try them out again. I don’t fly them much, but certainly both 5* for freeware and both now with a fun and unique EFB/tablet. Again too many hard choices for 1 vote!

I know I’ve already voted but just want to shout out Working Title too, every single thing they do is absolutely outstanding and their work made me fall in love with the CJ4.

Thanks for this very good idea !
My vote for the Denarq enhancement for Beech 18.
Difficult to choose because there are so much talented developers.
