Advice needed

[james84]

Hello all!
My brother got me a Thrustmaster joystick as a Christmas gift!
I tried it with some airliners and it really gives a different feel!
Now I would like to try it with some fighter: which are the best freeware ones? I already have Kirk Olson's Viper and IIRC he did a Mirage F1. In my file collection also is a nice freeware Super Hornet.
Any more advice?
Thanks!

Nice one Brother......question you have to ask is "what is HE after?"

The IRIS freeware F-15's and F-14 or the SOME of the ALPHASIM stuff, the Phantom is OK, and some of the smaller stuff, but avoid the F-106 - dynamics really suck!
I use a thrustmaster, I'm on my second now and unless someone GAVE me the money to by a HOTAS or HAWG then I will be sticking with it for the forseeable future

G-2 Galeb : freeware search on flightsim.

You can't go wrong with any of Kirk O's models, don't forget his F-86 and then try Section 8's Sabre too.
You are in luck with payware guys releasing many models as freeware for FS9, as mentioned get most of the Iris stuff and Alphasim/Virtavia. I'm also a fan of Tim "Piglet" C. and his different aircraft, his F-5's are fun.

I flew the wings off the FS-KBT Super Hornet prior to the VRS coming out, make sure you get the F and G models. They also have a F-2 that has a pretty in-depth VC.

For sure Mirage 2000 by Laborie Roland on Mirage4fs.com and F-18 E Superhornet by Daisuke Yamamoto (KBT Team???)
If you like some retro, search for Manuele Villa. CR-42, Breda Ba-65 and SM-79.

Thanks!
I tried Kirk's F-16 yesterday and flying within the Grand Canyon has never been so fun! The VC perspective is great!
That's incredible how just a few €€€ can change the way of flightsimming!
