The Vickers Vimy was the first twin-engine bomber built by Vickers, and it became famous for the historic flight of Alcock and Brown, who became the first men to fly non-stop across the Atlantic.
The Ace Baby Ace was the first aircraft in the world to be marketed as a homebuilt aircraft when its plans went on sale in 1929. The plans are still available and the Baby Aces are still being built still today.
The Lockheed Vega is an American six-passenger monoplane airliner built by the Lockheed Corporation beginning in 1927. It became famous for its use by a number of record-breaking pilots who were attracted to the rugged, ultra-long-range design.
Amelia Earhart has become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in a single trip. Wiley Post used his Vega to prove the existence of the jet stream after flying around the world twice.
The ERCO Ercoupe is an American low-wing monoplane aircraft that first flew in 1937. It was originally manufactured by the Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) shortly before World War II. Several other manufacturers continued its production after the war.
The Heinkel He 51 was a German single-seat biplane which was produced in a number of different versions. It was initially developed as a fighter, and a seaplane variant and a ground-attack version were also developed. It was a development of the earlier He 49.
The Zippy Sport is a single-seat, high-wing monoplane powered by a 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 piston engine. Of mixed construction (metal, wood, and fabric), it has a fixed tail dragging landing gear.

The Corby Starlet is a semi-aerobatic sport aircraft consisting of an all-wood construction. The Starlet was designed by Australian aero engineer John Corby of Sydney, NSW, Australia, for a competition organized by the English company Rollason Aircraft Ltd in 1964.
The design was placed eighth, despite becoming the first in the competition to be built. The prototype (VH-CBS) first flew on August 9, 1967.
The Lohner L was a reconnaissance seaplane produced in Austria-Hungary during World War I. It was a two-bay biplane of typical seaplane configuration of the day, with its pusher motor mounted on struts in the interplane space. The pilot and observer sat side by side in an open cockpit, and the upper and lower wing sets featured a swept sweep.
The Ford Trimotor (also called "Tri-Motor", and nicknamed the "Tin Goose") is an American trimotor transport aircraft. Production began in 1925 by Henry Ford's companies and ended on June 7, 1933. A total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made. It was designed for the civil aviation market, but also saw service with military units.
The Spirit of St. Louis (Registration: NX-211) is a custom-built, single-engine, single-seat monoplane.

DH-88 De Havilland Comet. This is a native FSX Comet with added thumbnails, which works very well in P3D v4 and v5. The de Havilland DH.88 Comet was a twin-engined British aircraft that won the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race, a challenge for which it was specifically designed. It set many aviation records during the race and afterwards as a pioneer mail plane. Includes fully working VC (Virtual cockpit).
Here is the Douglas DC3 Buffalo Airways with a new 2D panel and new XML gauges coded by Gavin Munro. This is a fairly accurate reproduction of the Buffalo Airways cockpit regarding the 2D panel, as for the VC it is similar to FSX's default DC3 with some repositioned gauges.
