Detailed Systems on Freeware Aircraft..?

[EMatheson]

I just discovered* the wonderful Suprunov Design Yak-40 and the beautiful SCS TU-134a and have fallen rather deeply in love with them. The beauty of the model is matched by the detail of the systems modelling and the various logical systems...

So, I am curious to know if there are others in the same league as these that are freeware. I've got a new itch to scratch...


*I was aware of them, but finally got a computer that could run them...

The Caravelle models available from Historic Jetliners Group fit the bill. Although they lack VC's, they're very systems-intensive...and the 2D panels are excellent. One of the few FS planes I don't mind flying without a VC:

As Motormouse mentioned, there's also the HS Trident - along with David Maltby's other outstanding classics, most notably the BAC 1-11 and Comet:

There was also a YS-11, perhaps it was from Allied Flight Sim Group, that was pretty in depth for freeware. I know their Raytheon Beechcraft B300 Super King Air was really good for freeware. And let's not forget Manfred Jahn's Basler BT-67, although I think that was FSX only.

There is a very nice Ilyushin Il-18 that has a complex start-up procedure, VC, and passenger cabin. An Il-38 was released earlier by the same team.

There's also a 747 package out there - I believe it's the Ready For Pushback package. There's quite a bit modeled into that panel. Also, I think some of the HJG panels go into some depth.

Here's the RFP package:

That's what happens when two people are posting at the same time! :dizzy:

Thanks for the suggestions. I was unaware that the CBFSim models had systems to go with their beautiful graphics! I'll have to give them a try. Keep the suggestions coming!

Charles E. "Dutch" Owen's (FSCaptain) DC-3C for FS9 (http://fscaptain.net/downloads/DC3C_FS9.zip) and FSX (http://fscaptain.net/downloads/DC3C_FSX.zip). A fundamental modification based on the default MS DC-3. There's also a version for Manfred Jahn's C-47 (http://www.fscaptain.net/downloads/Upgrade_C47.zip) (for FSX, works with FS9 without operational inverter).

Realistic systems (circuit breakers, electrical drainage, working inverter) full start procedure (working primers), realistic dynamics (based on S1C3G engines), failure simulation (spark-plug fouling, engine fire, icing, overheat, mixture, flaps and gear overspeed) and emergency procedures (fuel/electrics/hydraulics cut-off, fire extinguisher)! Full flight Manual from Quebecair.

Some unsorted mentions:

Lonny Payne's MD-80 Panel (http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=45437026) set (ex payware) for SGA MD-8x (2D only). Very detailed. By the book. With authentic MDC 'Bitching Betty' cockpit aural warning system (CAWS).

All planes by aforementioned David Maltby. Speaking of the British, have a look at the extensive hangar at CBFsim (http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/CBFS_HOME.php). Look especially for the Rick Piper panels for the Vickers' turboprops.

Caravelle, Noratlas and A300B by Benoît Gaurant (http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=benoit+gaurant&CatID=root&Go=Search). Extensive system simulation 2D only.

HJG (http://simviation.com/hjg/downloads.htm)'s diversive DC-9 series. All essential systems (electrics, fuel, hydraulics, pressurization, APU, ERT/RAT performance computer). Based on Stellan Hilmerby (http://hilmerby.com/)'s SAS DC-9-20/-40.

I was wracking my brain last night trying to think of this one! Get yourself any decent Avro RJ, then stick this in it:
