If you’re looking for an aircraft that is purely for fun, while also allowing you to fulfil your sci-fi dreams, then look no further than Eggman28’s creations.

There’s a good mix here too, from real-world airlines in different variants, to fictional airlines, so you’re bound to find something you prefer to the default paint jobs. With your improved aircraft, you’ll probably want some nicer looking liveries to go with it, right? Over at the Official Forums, users have created a mini-database of nearly 200 liveries, while Clink’s Megapack V8 currently contains over 300 liveries across 15 aircraft. I’m sure that as their communities grow, their development pace will similarly accelerate. Although these projects haven’t made quite as much progress, there’s no harm in giving them a go, or at least bookmarking and waiting for some more progress to be made. The Salty Simulations community seeks to improve the default Boeing 747, while Hanger9 Systems are focusing on the Boeing 787 (just remember that you need the Premium Duplex version to access this aircraft). In a similar vein, there are other communities dedicated to improving other default aircraft.

There’s still a long way to go before it could be considered ‘study level’, but it’s amazing to see what the community has accomplished within a relatively short amount of time, and perhaps the most impressive thing is that it’s free! So far, they’ve managed to add additional functionality to the ECAM monitors allowing you to view information such as which doors are open, a better overview of the APU, as well as adding various aircraft memo’s and messages – but best of all, they’ve added a working seat belt switch, complete with an authentic “bong!” sound.Įven if you’re a casual flyer who’s not interested in simulating everything to the smallest detail, you’ll still find the finished aircraft checklists or lighting improvements useful.
