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.
