I found a rather nice F-15E for FS9. This website should have a downloads section. I have a few good ones for FS9 that I can credit the author and upload. I really like my F-15, F-16, F-14, Bf-109E, Huey, BlackHawk, etc... Beautiful Virtual Cockpits.

I'm looking forward to when Accusim get around to doing their F-4 Phantom. I know they did sound recordings a while back, but if it's anything like their other releases...mmmm....

I have an ok F-4. No virtual cockpit. I might look up this Accusim version. SkyUnlimited did a beautiful Bf-109E package.

Edit: HOLY CRAP! Who pays 20$ for one plane for FS9! Forget this Accusim F-4. I'll enjoy my free one. Accusim is expensive!

$20 is just for the Accu-sim addon, the full package is probably more like $40-50, and it's for FSX alone, FS9 just can't handle it sadly.

But it's worth every single cent.

Let me give you an idea of what you get:







There is also PMDG which look a LOT of fun in terms of button pushing realism. Skybird swears by them, and they are on my list of aircraft to have a look at. But Accusim is a lot of fun.

I agree. There are some pretty looking planes there. But 20-50$? No thank you. SkyUnlimited's 109E package was free. The very awesome F-15E Package by IRIS was free. Surclaro and Simviation have thousands of cool, free aircraft. Yes, Accusim looks great, but the price doesnt. I cant tell you how to live your life, so dont let this ruin anything.

Whatever plane you strap that thing to will be my favourite.

Seriously though, I have a soft spot for the early carrier jets, F-4 and A-6 in particular. Healthy respect for the B-52, but it's not something I'd actually want to fly.

Either an F-111, (but must be RAAF ) or Lancaster.

Ooh! Forgot about Aardvarks (and Ravens), on a visit to some of the East Coast Ranges in the late '80s the staff working them always looked forward to them, even some suggestions of once one flying so low between the 'quad' - the observation towers used for triangulating the hit points - that it took out the phone cable suspended between two.

And obviously the good old dump 'n' burn is (would've been) a fantastic sight.
