Okay...
What payware aircraft have you flown the least & why :ques: :kilroy:

For me,
It's probably the Eaglesoft Colombia.....Reason is that as of late, I'm not into the high-tech systems.....:cost1:
 
Aerosoft Super Cub, I find the freeware Super Cub by Mr. Narcizo is a more accurate rendition, and the Aerosoft version has a GIRL flying it...:costumes:
 
EagleSofts Twinkie...I just dont get good frame rates in it for the settings I like in FSX. The default Baron is my only twin now.

I hope Miltons D-18 and the Commanders will be redone in FSX sdk soon. :kilroy:

All my other payware performs well -

RealAir Scout/Citabria and SF260

RazBams A-6 Intruder

IcarusGolds Pitts

Alphasims T-6 / Harvard

All of the Caranado Fleet released to date<----these perform better than default FSX planes in most cases

The rest is all freeware and I'd like to thank those people right now for them profusely. :applause:

Its a drag because I love that Piper Twin in every other sense - but it just kills my FPS...
 
The list is long...

...Abacus S-2F (not thrilled with the quality)

...AS Caribou (spinners don't show in FSX)

Anyway...those are my two most regretted.

AS Blackhawk, it is just to resource intensive on my system, which really sucks!:isadizzy:
 
Sadly its the Aerosoft F-16 as my system can cope with every other aircraft's self shadow - but not that one. :banghead:
 
Same here, certainly it is an outstanding product but there's no way in hell I can enjoy that with my current system...which happily plays any other game on full settings.
 
a2a's B377, its just a bit to hard on the frames for me to fly it smoothly :frown:

Same plane but for me it's not possible to fly from spot view which is where I spend most of a flight. If I'd understood that without Accusim it was still a vc intense experience I wouldn't have bought it. A real shame because it looks beautiful.
 
Eaglesofts Colombia for me also,it's only payware plane I have that brings my system to it's knees.I don't know why cause the Twinkie gets good frames.
 
Iris Simulations Beechcraft Texan II / Harvard II

This young French Canadian Lady CAF Officer is flying the real one
as QFI at NFTC Moose Jaw and convinced me last june to buy it !!!

Thanks to her !
She was right !

First Class Sim/ Dan Dunn's Miles Magister - flown once, will never fly again. VC is horrible. Expensive AI fodder at best.

carenado 152. it looks real nice, but for me, is impossible to trim for straight and level flight.

That is because the airframe is bent and out of alignment from all the student landing. :costumes:

I should know, I learned to fly in a C-150/152.

If there is one airplane I wish I hadn't bought it is the Alphasim F-5E. I consider the flight model to be wrong and the VC to be below the standards of the time. However, the flight model is my biggest complaint.
 
Shockwave/A2A HE219 - it's a great bit of modelling and textures, it sounds awesome, and the visibility is good - it's just really really dull somehow.

There's a few others that have been installed and didn't last a week too.
 
Believe it or not, the RealAir Spitfire for FSX. The cockpits are too sparse, it sits wrong on the ground to my eyes, sounds more like a Tucano than a Spitfire, at least on my system, and - I don't know - there's just something wrong with the wings. Look at any Spitfire picture or see one flying and check out the dihedral (the up-angle of the wings to the horizontal). It's only six degrees but, with the thin wings and the eliptical shape, it looks very pronounced. This one looks too flat & shallow, and it spoils the whole thing for me. I reckon Plane Design still have the best Spitfire to date, but I've given up trying to get it working in SP2 - roll on their Mk VIII.
 
Oh, and the Just Flight / Aeroplane Heaven Mosquito - I've uninstalled it and replaced it with Dave Garwood's freeware Beaufighter.
