I think the Cessna T37-B Tweet was one of the bests mods this year. So, here’s my vote.
FBW A320 gets my vote, for both the scale of the efforts they have put in, through many Sim Updates moving the goalposts, and the results which they’ve achieved.
JPL/WBS Cessna 152
You need to include the DA62X performance mod by MRTommyMXR! I keep coming back to this plane time after time because it’s super easy to fly and the performance mod makes it so much better.
FBW320 for me.
Agreed!
Without WT’s involvement, some of the aircraft named in this thread would not have been improved to be worthy of consideration.
Dave Garwood’s Hunters please.
My vote is for the Denarq mod for the Beech Model 18
JPL / WBSim C152
Denarq Beech 18 mod for me please.
@kaha300d / @Kayembee370 / @Elandon78
Thinking about it, not sure the Beech Model 18 can be allowed. It’s not free as it’s based on a Local Legend (or was it a Famous Flyer)… either way it’s not freely accessible like the others.
Ah … What a shame. It’s a great mod and the guy is a worthy contender.
So … my choice now is the JPL/WB Sim mod for the Cessna 152. Also very good and arguably of payware quality
WB-SIm C172 Mod
FBW A320 - simply amazing effort given the complexity of the aircraft
It’s not free though is it? And even if it was, it’s only for the premium version of the game so not what I would consider a free base aircraft.
Make that the WB-SIM C152 mod then …
Hi,
For me the best freeware mod is the FBW A320.
I have to go with the one I’ve spent the most time flying, and that’s the Duckworks DC-3 mod.
Like others above, the FBW A320 must be #1 on my list. It is amazing it is freeware. It is truly a much-appreciated donation of time and talent to the MSFS community, especially given the complexity of the add-on.
The C152 and G-36 Bonanza are runner’s-up and I fly those more, but they are much less complex (and “only” mods) than the complete FBW A320 project. I very much look forward to the day when I feel more comfortable flying the FBW A320 and other airliners.
For me it’s the DC3 Duckworks mod.
