Freeware Addon - DeHavilland Dash-8 for FSX
Posted by Smiley with the tags aviation,fsx,flight simulator and flight simulator x on September 12th 2009 08:09:47 PM

Well, here I go with my first review.

The Air Canada Jazz DeHavilland Dash-8 is a quality freeware addon for Flight Simulator X. It features a very realistic model with animated parts, a fully functional virtual cockpit, inside and outside lighting and a fully functional autopilot. This package comes with four Air Canada Jazz liveries, but if you don't like any of them there are other repaints available.



In these two images I was using the Olympic Airlines livery.

To get this aircraft:

  1. Go to FlightSim.com
  2. In the file name box type "d81jaz4x.zip" for the aircraft, or "oa_text-1.zip" for the Olympic livery
  3. Download the file
  4. Follow the instructions in the Readme of the file

I hope this was useful and I hope you enjoy the addon.

Oh dear, it seems that I haven't been posting for a while. Oh well, on with today's post.

I love avation, I love flying, I don't know why, I just do.

I've been using Microsoft Flight Simulator X for years now and I really enjoy using it. It is probably one of the best flight simulators out there and, unlike other Microsoft products, it is open to third party developers to make addons for, like aircraft and scenery.

So my idea was that I would write a review of some of these addons (mainly freeware addons) so that any aviation enthousiasts out there can find out what addons are good and which ones to stay away from.

I am really looking forward to starting this, but I won't be able to post every day but I will try my best to post on the weekend.
