My favorite plane

My all time favorite is the Wings of Power mustang. I estimate (dont kept a logbook in fs9) i have >1500 hours in it. For FSX i have spend most of the time in the aerosoft f-16. But with the update for the A2A mustang it is the mustang again. Also the speed is just right so i can use tileproxy with high detail resolutions.

Kind regards,

Meso
 
I've got 96 hours on the Kodiak, bush flying in Alaska, Yukon, and NW Territories. This one has to be my all time favorite, followed by the Piper Seneca I used for my RTW.

So many planes, so little time... :isadizzy: I've been spending quite a bit of time in Carenado's 182RG and ES's Twinkie, but lately I've been logging a lot of time in the PBY Cat, learning to fly her properly... :wiggle:
 
Even though I have since flown such wonderful aircraft as Aerosoft's Catalina and the A2A P-47 (with accusim), my favourite aircraft would still have to be the Digital Aviation Dornier Do-27. I just love it.
 
The two planes I have the most hours are Carenado's Piper Cherokee 180 and their Mooney. The RealAir Scout come in a close third.
 
For me it depends. Some of the planes that i work on can become favorites ( like the goose ) but mostly it depends on what i'm doing.
SkyUnlimited's P-38, Iris's F-14, Milton Shupes Commanders, Howard, dash-7 and the A-26, Arianes BBJ, Piglets RB-57, DM Flight Sims DH-106, and Suprunovs Yak-40
 
In no particular order...

Flight1/Coolsky Super 80 and Super 80 Pro
PMDG 747X
CaptainSim 727X
CaptainSim 757X
RealAir Duke
Carenado Arrow
 
1) the kodiak

2) carenado 182 (it would be the 206 but i just can't take the sounds)

3) the aa-5b

for default planes it's the dc-3 or the baron.


I do believe TSS (Turbine Sound Studios) has a replacement pack for the Carenado 206 sounds. You should be able to find them at SimMarket. You might want to give them a try. I hear (no pun intended) TSS does some pretty nice work.
 
Pretty much anything that isn't an airliner (although microlights, gliders and GA don't get much of an airing on my sim). Mainly I like my fast jets and warbirds, with the odd heavy like the CS C-130 thrown in. Generally, most things that don't require the use of an autopilot!
 
RO-41....................:ernae:...At least right now, I have as favorite as of last count 1,345....

Many, but I am always dragged back to the Piper Vanguards and Maltby Trident. which are fine in FSX btw.
 
I'm pretty much an equal opportunity user of all of my payware aircraft. Tubeliners to puddle jumpers are all okay by me.

Flight Plan + Time Alloted = Aircraft For The Moment :)

Currently my logbook notable high milers:

A2A/WoS B377 650hrs.
A2A/WoP B29 120+hrs.
A2A/WoPIII P-47D 100hrs.

Just recently I've been spending most of my time in the Aerosoft Cat island hopping the Leewards & Windwards checking out some new Caribbean sceneries. Now that I've reached the southern most point of this excursion, I'll most likely use either my Coolsky MD-80 or one of my Eaglesoft pocket rockets for the trip back north to Fla.

Lately I have been flying in FS2004 quite often. I have been trying to master this one, but I haven't been able to put in back on the ground safely yet.....

I have spend quite some time in this cockpit as well (even flyable by me).

In FSX I have found out that you can't fly through the Tower bridge, but Schotland is a nice area to have some fun with a Kodiak.... (Yes I fly those as well !)

And still one of my many favourites in FSX......

In no particular order (for FSX):
AlphaSim Long-EZ
Carenado 182Q & RG
Realair Duke (post-SP1 w/RXP GNS430W)
Level-D 767
PMDG MD-11
A2A P-47 w/Accusim
Dodosim Bell 206

In real life: T-6 Texan hands down

There are so many good products by so many developers. I could probably list 20 more that I fly often and really enjoy. Not to mention environment products.

This IS the time of FSX. It can only get better!
 
To those flying the New Cat around the Caribbean may I suggest you go to Dominican Rep and then jump to Panama City----you can land in Colon for a coke and then fly the Canal to Tocumen..its a neat flight. Soon in a Sim Near You and On-Line too...........I usually make the flight in one of my preferred ones--The BAC 111----flies like a dream and its not like the new tubes full of gadgets and whisles...just a good twin jet of old times........
 
The Nord 3202 is a really wonderful model and plane for low and slow, nicely detailed and flies right.

Iris Texan II advanced is a lot of fun, super flight dynamics, good visibility, a bit like a modern version of a WW2 fighter.

Aerosoft Catalina, brilliant cockpit, superb engine sounds and with amphibious capability go anyway, a little slow, so short flights are best.

Dodosim 206 FSX, I wish all the FSX helos would fly like this.

Blanik glider, nicely modelled, challenging flights with ridge lift software engaged.
