A unique opportunity will be provided to you to be able to fly this Fairchild 24 on Microsoft Flight Simulator. I am developing an electronic, 3D model of "NC28640" as an add-on for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004. The aircraft is currently under construction using Discreet's Gmax, a free, PC based, 3-dimentional graphical design program. The first package to be released will include an exterior model, flight dynamics, and a 2-dimentional control panel. Later versions will include authentic Warner engine sounds and a 3-dimentional "virtual cockpit" with an updated exterior model.

As some of you may know, making a freeware aircraft for Flight Simulator is not exempt from expenses. If you like the work I am doing by making a freeware model of the Fairchild 24 for Flight Simulator 9(2004)/X, please consider making a donation to help defray the cost of making the model. You can do so by clicking on the paypal donate button on the left side of the screen. Paypal is fast, free, and secure (not to mention easy). Thank you for your support.

Below is a 4-view screenshot taken in gmax (12/20/2006). Be aware that this is not the finished product and it will more than likely look a lot different when I release it. The visual model has changed significantly since the pictures were taken. I will upload new ones as soon as possible.
