Was wondering this question today. if you could only have FIVE aircraft (helicopters included) on your FSX install, which would they be? Im talking about those planes you've had forever (or new) that you fly again and again?

My list would be:

1. Realair Spitfire IX. Old but awesome still.
2. Milviz F-86
3. Warbirdsim P-51 (any flavor. they are all great)
4. Virtavia A-4 Skyhawk
5. FSX default C172

Last one was a hard slot to fill. really needs to be top 10, but I think 5 is an interesting question! No Helo is making my top 5.
 
Alabeo Gee Bee Z
CalClassic Curtiss C-46 Commando
Milton's Lockheed Lodestar
Alpha Sim P-80 Shooting Star
Aeroplane Heaven Seafire III

Honorable Mention for the Virtavia F4D Skyray
 
1. Milviz F-100D

3. Glowing Heat B-58

4. Vertigo Studios F9F Panther

first four in a random order:

Aerosoft PBY Catalina


Manfred Jahn's C-47


A2A P-47 Thunderbolt


WBS P-51 Mustang
 
This is much harder than it seems but I'll have a go..

1. RA Spit
2. WBS Mustang D's
3. Skysim Sea Vixen
4. Virtavia Sea King
5. Default Cessna 172 (which I rarely fly but greets me in every saved flight)

ATB
DaveB:)
 
1.Real air spitfire
2. Sectionf8 Sabre
3. Skyraider A1H
4.Lionheart creations Epic Lt
5.Iris Vulcan
Choosing five was very hard also possibles for number 5 spot was between JF duchess, JF Chipmunk, Ants Tiger Moth and the Vulcan and the FCS Lanc.
 
1. Real Air Spitfire (seems to be popular!)
2. WBS Mustangs
3. QW RJ/146
4. Aerosoft F14
5. Aerosoft Twotter

There are many others that could fill any of the top 5 slots, ask me again tomorrow and the list will probably change, although the RA Spitfire will always be number 1.:adoration:
 
I agree with Dave (post above).

My choice would just be just choice of today and can be completely different tomorrow. As there are many more than 5 which should have made it to this list, I really can't make the choice. I just too afraid that I will remember another favourite just after I have pressed the "Submit Reply" button.

Exactly! Last night I completely forgot about the VS SBD Dauntless, one of my first payware purchases for FSX and it would have been #2 on the list behind the Gee Bee.
 
Currently:

1. VRS F-18E Super Hornet TacPack
2. FSBA F-18C Hornet TacPack
3. Dino's F-35A Lightning II TacPack
4. Dino's F-14D Tomcat TacPack
5. SSW F4B/N Phantom II TacPack

For me there are many other military contenders for 2-5, but only one runaway candidate for number 1. :applause:
 
1. VRS F/A-18E Superbug (no. 1 by a long shot)
2. Flight1 B200
3. Sibwings Saab Safir
4. Ant's T-28B/C Trojan
5. Tie amongst many including Iris T-6B/C, Iris Grob Tutor, RealAir Legacy
 
1. Iris C27J
2. Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended
3. Virtavia HU-16 Goat
4. Manfred's Goon
5. Milton/Eurostar Dash 7
 
1. Majestic Q400. IMHO THE best FSX/P3D aircraft ever produced. Incredible design, innovation and painstaking adherence to uncompromising quality standards.
2. Ant's T-28A Donationware. Best value proposition bar none. I also have the B,C and D models but the A remains my favorite. Large immersion factor. Gold standard design talent.
3. Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended. An absolute homerun for Aerosoft. Extremely well thought out.
4. A2A 182. A little gimmicky imo with all the walkarounds and checks but very well done.
5. Warbirdsim P51. Flying art. A feast for the senses.
 
Just off of the top of my head:

1. Alabeo Piper PA38 Tomahawk II
2. Warwick Carter's AT-6/SNJ/Harvard (looking forward to getting the A2A version)
3. ANT's DH-82a Tiger Moth
4. RealAir Spitfire MK.IX
5. GAS Ryan PT-22 Recruit
