The following are FS2002 aircraft and panels. The DC-6 and Connie work fine in FS2004.

Douglas DC-4M
Features Cabin, Wing, Pilot's Left and Right Views, FS2002 Lighting.
A special DC-4, this aircraft is pressurized and uses Merlin engines.
Tom Gibson and Harry Follas put this aircraft together, around the fantastic flight dynamics of Brian Horsey.
Super Frame Rates from tower or spot view: You will Have to resize panel and spot plane view.
All First Class VIP Val-U-Prop Douglas DC-3
Setting new standards for luxury, our DC-3 carries an elite passenger manifest: Bogart, Bacall, Gary Cooper,
Greta Garbo, Hedy Lamarr, James Stewart - and many more - all have chosen Val-U-Prop as their premiere
transportation mode.
Based on the fabulous OH-LCH of Jan Visser, the aircraft has wing views; FS2002 Lighting; Detailed Photo-Panel,
Luxury Cabin; and fully illuminated interior.
ALL FIRST CLASS! ALL FIRST RATE! ALL VAL-U-PROP!

American Airlines Douglas DC-2
From the brilliant original of Jan Visser, Val-U-Prop has leased this luxurious Douglas DC-2, complete with panel; wing views; authentic yoke; and cabin, chocked full of celebrities. Aircraft features Sperry Autopilot by Arne Bartels, and has ADF only navigation, to make you think (as did pilots before the jets). Also includes pop-up default GPS and radio stack for the lazy.
Total surround panel with pilot's left and right views: all photographic, based on the work of the best aviation photographers in the business. Plane flies great and is very easy to handle.
GET IT NOW!! At AVSIM ONLINE or FLIGHTSIM.COM!!!

Beechcraft Baron Shuttle
Craig Shortino, who brought us our forum, has come up with this repaint of the default Beech Baron - as a Val-U-Prop Shuttle! - complete with a new panel, superb NEW flight dynamics, and sounds and switches for door opening/closing, and other assorted dings and dongs.
PLUS! Advanced Garmin Avionics, with GPS readout on MAIN PANEL!
This plane, unlike the original Microsoft Beech Baron, flies so sweetly, you will fall in love.

Douglas DC-7
The fastest Propliner of them all, this aircraft will cruise at over 300 knots. I've modified the flight dynamics to make it a very smooth flyer - but take your time slowing it down. Comes with pilot's left and right side views; wing views; FS2002 lighting and deluxe cabin filled with celebrities.
*
*
Lockheeed L1049G Constellation
*
Features stable flight dynamics; surround panel from photographs of Jonathan Derden; authentic wing and cabin views.
This is a very fine aircraft from the studio of Dave McQueen, brilliantly night-lit, and with real Connie views. VP uses this plane for long-haul and over-ocean work, in tandem with our DC-7. Slower than the DC-7, it is a bit more stable, and easier to land. A proud addition to our fleet!

NEW BARON PANEL BY CRAIG SHORTINO NOW AVAILABLE!!

With many features, like toggled light switches and other goodies, this is a Real Beauty!
