Ant's Airplanes produces a range of high quality freeware and payware aircraft and sceneries for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.

The full range of aircraft available is displayed on the right hand side of this page. Select any of the pictures for more information or go to the Free and Demos pages to see what you can get for free.

All scenery is freeware and consists mainly of Australian airports.

An update mostly to fix an issue with exterior lights not appearing correctly in the Xbox version available through the Marketplace in MSFS. Other updates included fixing the aileron trim tab, fixing some update issues with the radio page in the Tablet as well as new mouse click zones for changing values in the Tablet. While the update can be installed directly over any existing installation you may like to remove the previous version and do a clean re-install. A few files have had to have their locations moved and a clean install will keep the file folder clean without any orphaned files.

Visit the Winjeel MSFS page for more information.

A small update to fix a few of the inevitable new release bugs. Please re-download the installer from the place of purchase. The update can be installed directly over any existing installation. If the Winjeel was purchased through the MSFS Marketplace the update may take a while longer before it is available.

Visit the Winjeel MSFS page for more information.

The Winjeel for MSFS has been released. This conversion of the FSX/P3D version has been updated with improved graphic and model details as well as full compatibility with the new MSFS systems. The Winjeel is a two-three seat, low wing, fixed undercarriage tail dragger. Construction is all metal with fabric covered control surfaces. Power is provided by a 450hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior nine cylinder radial engine driving a two bladed Hamilton Standard variable pitch propeller. The aircraft comes in four variants: vintage and modern normal models as well as vintage and modern FAC models.

This update fixes an issue where user key input for primer wasn't updating carby prime, some clickspots not working for Xbox controllers in mouse mode, updated gauge glass texture, missing glass texture on front airspeed indicator and fixed unlocked/locked tooltip on slots lever.

The paintkit is also now available (textures in photoshop format). Visit the Tiger Moth MSFS page for more information and the download link for the paintkit.

The Tiger Moth for MSFS has been released. This classic bi-plane is now available to fly in the Microsoft Flight Simulator world. The aircraft features two engine simulation modes. Easy provides quick and easy flying while the Hard mode is for those who would like some more realism requiring correct procedures for the manual engine start, oil consumption and spark plug fouling.

Visit the Tiger Moth MSFS page for more information.

The Drifter Ultralight has been updated (both payware and free/demo version). This update provides new smoother propeller animations. Recent testing has shown that the default MSFS code for prop animation operates at only 18 fps. Custom code in the Drifter now animates the prop at the same rate as the sim which produces smoother animation. Other changes include: Fixed key commands for the fuel pump, fixed GPS on/off key, modified engine sounds so less high frequencies are rolled off when viewing front on in the external camera, improved VR cockpit interactivity, fixed issue with windshield rain effects not showing.

Download the latest installer from your retailer. Free/demo users should download the installer from this website again.

The new version of Drifter Ultralight has been rebuilt for MSFS. This is the perfect aircraft to enjoy the scenery of Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2020. The open cockpit and forward position provides clear views all around. The aircraft is available in a full payware version which includes wheeled and float versions. A wheeled only free/demo version is available to try before you buy.

Available now is Ants Aussie Airports for MSFS 2020. This free scenery contains only two airports at the moment, YPLI Palmers Island and YEVD Evans Head, both located on the NSW north coast. Future versions will include additional airports. Please read the readme.txt before installing as it is a manual install and you need to get the scenery into the right folder for it to work.

With the recent release of Prepar3D v5 here are the instructions on how to install any Ant's Airplanes aircraft in Prepar3D v5.

Installing into the program directory:
Run the aircraft installer and select the P3D v4 install to program directory option. Manually change the install directory from Prepar3D v4 to Prepar3D v5. You will need to install the aircraft once for v4 and once for v5 if you use this method.

Installing outside the program directory:
Run the aircraft installer and select the P3D v4 install outside program directory option. Select the location where you want to install the aircraft (by default this will be the P3D v4 add-ons folder and you can still use this if you have P3D v4 also installed). When the installer runs a batch file is run to update the add-on location in both P3D v4 and v5. You should only install the P3D v4 version outside the program directory once for use in both P3D v4 and v5. The installer updates the location of the add-on in both P3D v4 and P3D v5 as it has already been setup in expectation of the eventual release of P3D v5.

If you already have the aircraft installed outside the program directory with Prepar3D v4:
Either re-run the installer and reinstall the aircraft to the exact same location. Or, go to the location that the aircraft is installed and run the P3D_install.bat batch file found in the aircraft folder (other files in that folder will be the Content folder, add-on.xml and readme.txt).

The P3D_install.bat batch file is already setup for use with both Prepar3D v4 and Prepar3D v5. This batch file updates the add-on location for both P3D v4 and P3D v5. You should only install the P3D v4 version of the aircraft once if you are installing it outside the program folder and it will be available for use in both simulators.
