Our bestselling aircraft now fully FSX compatible ! This aicraft gets you everywhere, snow, water, soft runways or tarmac, there is a Beaver in this package for every terrain.

Some things age gracefully, some things go beyond that and seem to resist aging altogether. They are truly timeless. In aviation there are few examples, because aircraft are designed for a definite lifespan and to be replaced by something better. Perhaps the Piper Cub is one of the few examples, so long after being build, it's still in serious use and not only for sentimental reasons, they are still very much up to the job. But the DHC-2 beaver certainly is one. In 1955 a new Beaver sold for $30.000 and at this moment a well maintained Beaver with only a few million miles on the clock is worth around $300.000 and there are many operators who will tell you they fly the DHC-2 for the simple reason it is the best aircraft for the job and that they do not care that is older than they are.

There is, as far as we know, only one aircraft that is heralded as being one of the most important achievements of a country. But the DHC2 Beaver has that official award presented by the Canadian government. And for good reasons, Canada would simply look different then it does now if the Beaver would not have provided solid and reliable transport to the regions of the country that cannot be reached by road. The rest of the world was quick to see the great aircraft made by de Havilland. And apart from air to air combat there is no task this aircraft has not done. Dropping parachutists, spraying crops, fighting fires, you name it and there is a Beaver that done it. On snow, ice, tundra, gravel, grass, water, sand, it's happy everywhere. It has flown on every continent and probably is the only aircraft to have landed at both poles. This aircraft will get you to every place on the globe. The Aerosoft DHC2 Beaver comes with an unprecedented number of models so every version is as detailed as possible. As far as we know this is the first time so many MDL files are bused for any FS2004 download...

There is no better option for the Beaver. MilViz was the only real competitor and did have better textures, but also had many problems with their version of this plane. Aerosoft has done a very good job with the Beaver and delivers a huge collection of variety to enjoy. A real bang for your buck with so many models including a crop duster with even more liveries. The interior is where the age of this shows a bit but it’s by no means bad. They look like 50 plus year old planes. The exterior textures are very good and trying to choose which one to load and fly is the only issue. These Beavers fly great! There is a nice sense of realism as attention to the planes physic are clearly well catered to. You get a lot in this package and even at full price it’s a good value. Every flight simmer should have a good Beaver to fly the virtual skies. Based on use with FSX Steam Win 10 i7 3.3ghz 16GB Ram Intel UHD630 integrated GPU.

Crappy inside textures and sometimes switches don't work; requiring switching to a different view then back. Four files to download at purchase with no indication of install order.

Ein weiteres tolles Add-On von Aerosoft. Wiedermal stimmt einfach alles, die Geräusche des Motors, die Flugeigenschaften und die grafische Gestalung. Vor allem aber bin ich begeistert von der gigantischen Auswahl an verschiedenen Ausführungen der Beaver, die dieses Add-On mit sich bringt, insgesammt sind es 48 verschiedene Lackierungen(manche sehen aus, als ob sie schon alles mitgemacht hätten), darunter befinden sich wieder verschieden Versionen, wie z.B. mit Schwimmern, mit Skiern, mit Thundrareifen(super für Hobby-Buschpiloten) und natürlich auch normale Bereifung. Fazit: Ein fantastisches Add-On, das das Herz d3es Hobby-Buschpiloten höher schlägen lässt. Es glänzt nicht nur mit der Quantität der Lackierungen und Ausführungen der Beaver, sonder auch ganz klar durch die Qualität der Geräuschskulisse und die hervorragenden Flugeigenschaften!

I do not have FSX, so my comments only apply to the FS9 version. If you are buying this for FS9, be aware that the models are old, the textures low resolution, and the systems modeling simplistic. You should also be aware that the FS9 version does not include scenery, as the FSX version does. Nonetheless, this package is easily the best Beaver that will ever be for FS9. It is hard to imagine anything one-upping this. The sheer variety is amazing, the quality, even this far into the life of the sim, is good. But, it is a Beaver. If you don't want a Beaver, you won't like it. If you do, old as this is, the Aerosoft Beaver will be like manna from heaven.

Have I just got a brand new Beaver or have I just lost all my existing planes? The Beaver has set a new standard that I think the others must strive to catch up to. It just looks and handles "right"! Docs and install were great, download was easy. My hardest choice for the moment is picking which paint/model to fly! Essential for all, go get it!

So many varieties and liveries to choose from! The product comes with many wheel versions, many ski versions and many float versions (including one of the float versions has wheels so you can land on a solid runway too). Lots of nice cockpit detail in both the "newer" versions and the "older" versions of the Beavers. And great engine sounds. Wow! And I love the fact that several of the included airplanes have a Garmin 296 mounted on top of the 3D "dashboard" so you can see it without having to call up a GPS window! One reviewer said that there were no 2D panels but, in fact, several of the versions do have 2D as well as 3D cockpits -- but not all of the versions have that. (I found a 2D panel on one of the "older" float planes, as well as a 3D panel.) The only negative is a problem that I find with nearly all FS aircraft, including the "stock" aircraft that come as part of MS FSX. The problem is that you can't see the instruments in the 3D cockpit AND simultaneously see out the front windshield -- unless you zoom out to a 50% perspective. Of course this makes the instruments a bit harder to read, but at least you can watch your instruments while keeping your eye out for other aircraft in the sky. But this is a problem for nearly all Flight Simulator aircraft, so it is NOT a problem that is unique to this Beaver product. I think it's a great VFR aircraft for flying low and slow -- just the type of flying that I love. It's well worth the price.

Excellent integration with FSX, the plane has great detail and the flying model is very accurate. The VC gives you a real sensation of flying, a must have for VFR flying. No 2D panel but is not useful if you have a VC with these details, highly recommended.
