Experience a carefully adapted rendition of the Vickers Viscount 700, originally developed for FS2004, now available as a complete freeware package for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This upgraded release retains all core elements of the classic turboprop while integrating high-fidelity enhancements, featuring two unique cockpit configurations, refined panels, and precisely tuned performance aligned with Dart 6 510 engines.
Distinctive Flight Deck Configurations
Engineered with two contrasting instrument panels, the included layouts represent earlier British-style avionics as well as an Americanized arrangement. Both versions showcase modernized gauges in high resolution, newly updated panel bitmaps, and an optional IFR perspective for more streamlined navigation. These authentic setups capture the real-world feel by prioritizing effective readouts and logical control placements.

Comprehensive Simulation Refinements
Central to this rendition are newly designed cockpit and engine audio, offering a more immersive environment with crisp switch clicks and authentic turboprop acoustics. The revised flight dynamics closely simulate the Rolls-Royce Dart performance, thereby delivering credible power settings and handling characteristics throughout climb, cruise, and approach phases. The system integrations are thorough, with realistic checklists and onboard reference guides included to assist virtual pilots.
Multiple Airline Liveries
For enthusiasts who enjoy variety, this package offers dedicated texture sets for numerous operators, such as BEA, BUA, BKS, British Midland, Cambrian, Eagle Airways, Guernsey Airlines, Intra, Starways, Capital Airlines, and Trans Canada Airlines. Each livery is aligned with the historical appearance of these carriers, enabling authentic scenarios reflective of mid-century passenger travel.
Original Contributors and Credits
The core FSDS model was kindly provided by Rick Piper. Both Rick Piper and Garry Russell collaborated on texture creations that depict each airline’s unique markings. Additionally, the main panels, gauges, and custom sounds were carefully crafted by Fraser McKay to ensure cohesive visuals and audio. This integrated work results in a standalone freeware release, ready for immediate installation in your FSX environment.
