Designing your own aircraft can be an immensely rewarding experience & is a hobby enjoyed by enthusiasts across the world. Designers range in age from 12 to 70 & probably beyond! However learning to design an aircraft will require you to do some learning & practice. There are many useful resources available including forums & tutorials.

Making any 3d design software capable of producing Flight Simulator aircraft can be a complex & intense task & hence there are no freeware versions available. The list below covers the whole range of design packages that have produced 99% of all add-on aircraft.
