I am simply amazed at the freeware aircraft. there are some talented people out there willing to share there art for free. Most of it is easily downloaded and unzipped into the aircraft files some even have self installing software. There are some that are NOT configured correctly and have to be modified to work, or dont work at all (repairs being beyond my expertise). I would like to contribute to MISSIONS using actual Military and Humanitarian Missions from the US. I NEED to learn how to write missions for FSX and scenery editing (remote firebases for helo's, ships etc) where do I start?

Regarding writing missions for FSX. A VERY good place to start is in the SDK.... there are some very descriptive information on how to do this. backed up with a lot of examples. So if you haven't read that I would most strongly advice you to first before consulting various forums. Always a good thing to do your homework first ;-)

But are you also looking to make FSX-missions George?

I used payware when I didn't know how to download aircraft/textures and it was fine....throw in the disc and it would do everything for me. I accidentally found HJG a few years ago and had a co-worker teach me how to unzip files, cut n paste and manipulate the cfg. file and I haven't purchased anything since. I'm a 45 year old airline brat (TWA) so everything here at HJG is what I flew on as a kid and is sentimental, I rarely fly modern aircraft. HJG is great because if you have any problems, just fire off a question here at the forum and someone will give advice or point you in the right direction almost immediately...you can't beat HJG classics and the staff here.

Eventhough I have a boat load of payware aircraft, I always find myself coming back the HJG 727. Now with the release of their 1011, i don't think my payware will get any flight time anytime soon.
Hats off to the HJG team.

I must admit to having a bit of a fond affiliation with the AEROSOFT PBY CATALINA recently.

I have 3 pieces of Payware. The 50N North 737's which I bought simply because, there were so many of the different Alaska schemes done for them. I have been disappointed though, because many upgrades were promised but nothing delivered. The second one was Nick & Dean's Jet City DC-9's / MD's /717. Even though Nick has upgraded them here, I have not moved over, simply because I many repaints of my own & others, and I don't feel like spending the time doing them all over. I would switch to Nick's new HJG ones, if the textures would be compatible. 3rd one is the Alphasim C141 Starlifter, which I got because nobody else had one. Stef

The only problem with payware products is that in order to stop piracy, software developers have to modify the simulation or have side programs running to validate the authenticity of the product, this in the long run causes incompatibilities with other add-ons and even future flight simulator versions. I prefer 'clean products' with no nonsense and those are hard to find if you are looking for payware...almost every developer always screws up the simulation in an attempt to protect their $$$
