Editorial
When I first downloaded this mod I was not quite sure what to expect; this particular range of the Boeing brand was something I knew little about. However, its historical impact (this was the first ever pressurized airliner) made me want to try it out and see what history could show me. The creator of this mod done a wonderful job in putting together something that is fresh and fair, whilst doing a marvelous job of capturing all of the little things that make an aircraft feel that bit unique.
What I would suggest is that this Boeing 307 Stratoliner mod has really taken the extremes of design and precision to another level for freeware mods. This is a brilliant design and with the kind of limited addition appeal of this aircraft – only 10 were ever built – I was massively impressed by the great work put into this mod. It’s a greatly detailed and very attentive homage to the real thing, offering something that is genuinely special in terms of history.
However, this is not to say that I was only impressed with how it looked – the way it flies is class, too!
I was really impressed by the whole image and feel of the aircraft, doing a fine job of capturing the real thing and making it look absolutely spectacular across the board. With the detail of the cockpit equally as impressive as the aircrafts interior, this is a wonderful package to start flying around with if you are trying to get to grips with a different kind of aircraft.
Not all of us have had the pleasure of hopping into the cockpit of something as rare as this so, if you are like me and want to try it out, virtually is probably the best bet you’ll have!
Either way, though, this is a brilliant rendition of the aircraft. Given numerous discussions with enthusiasts and experts alike, I can safely vouch for this being a really impressive remake. This is a mod that takes the best of the real aircraft and makes it apparent, without moving away from a strictly realistic grounding.
For fans and enthusiasts alike, this is a brilliant place to start!

Hmmm... I run the setup.exe and it appears to complete successfully but can't find the aircraft in FSX. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong?
I downloaded and installed this aircraft, and there is a little problem; some body panels are missing from the exterior body of the aircraft, on the bottom part of the nose, and also near the tail of the airplane. What can be done, if I may ask?
LOVE!!! these old vintage plans loaded easy and flys great (EVEN ILS With this one ) Keep em' comming
