First aircraft for a reinstall choice

Iv just had to do a reinstall of FSX after a HD problem. which is cool, as i was thinking of cutting back on add-on scenery and plane's anyway ( ive try'd this before and it never works out :biggrin-new: )

The first 3 aircraft ive installed back in are RA Spit, Dave Garwoods Hunter and MJ's C47 . What would be your first 3 ?
 
Bill Lyon's Piper Apache, adapted for P3D. The plane I have actual hours in. A friend took me up for a ride. He had me put my hands on the yoke, then took his off and said let's see what FSX taught you. I had a riot for about 4 hours. He did the actual landings, I did everything else, except the radio.
Loved it.

Definitely the A2A Cub, for the reason already stated. Then maybe the CR-1 Aeronca, for the same reason. If that's a bit similar, then perhaps Ant's Tiger Moth or the GAS Stearman for a biplane, and then Wozza's Texan for my third entry.
 
For myself it would be

1) Mark Harper's Mirage III/5 package
2) Kirk Olsson's Mirage F1
3) Wilco Tecnam P2006T

And then everything else.
:ernaehrung004:
 
In FSX, probably the C-47, sibwings SAAB Safir, A2A P-47, closely followed by the Realair Spit, A2A B-17 and WBS P-51
 
In FSX

A2A Spitfire - Either version (Accusim Mk1 or earlier FSX version of Mk1)
A2A Bf109 Emil
Alphasim He111 or new AH version (whuch I haven't got yet)
 
For me,
probably the GAS Pitcairn Gyrocopter, then any of the Avro Tutor family by Nigel, finally a bit of twin engine fun with Miltons Beech 18.

Course you would need to install some Orbx scenery to enjoy all that low and slow flying.

As I finally plan to retire my 12 year old PC this is a question I really need to think about. Its impossible to limit myself to just 3 aircraft, but the Classics Hanger FW190s, the A2A WWII fighters Bf109-E, the Restauravia Caudron C450/460, the WBS P51-B/C and D/K, the RealAir Spitfire, Dave Garwood's Mosquito, Manfred Jahn's C-47, Nigel's Tutor, the Aeroplane Heaven Dunkirk Spitfire, the JMC Dewoitines, the Douglas A20/Boston, the Flight Replica's CAC Boomerang and Bf109-K would all definitely be among the first to reinstall. (The AH Typhoon, The AH Mosquito, FR Me262, FR P-40 and loads more. I just notice I will be very busy when I replace my PC!)

And I would also install the Flight Replica Buchon and Bf109 Gustav. Which I have purchased already a while ago, but which will not run on my humble system.

Cheers,
Huub

Man!! You run a system for 12 years? That is damned impressive!

Just had to say that.

When you think about it, it is indeed pretty amazing. As FSX didn't run on my previous machine I decided to build something which should last for years. Halfway I installed a new graphic card, and I added an additional disk, but that was about it. After all these years it starts to become unreliable. Sometimes it will not start and sometimes it just freezes.

I will hopefully build something which will last for many years again, but I do realise that 12 years isn't very realistic.

Cheers,
