Real Air Spit
AS Blehneim
AS Hunter
AS F86
B-17 A2A, Sky unlimited - both fantastic, each with own merits
AS B-24
a2a WWII Fighters

Would fly more military, but my computer can't cope with the speeds - I get hit by blurries
 
I find myself in the default Goose and Maule the most in FSX...

Since I'm new to the platform, I'm still figuring out what works from FS9.

I can't vote... There's no option for "Whatever I'm supposed to be reviewing"... :isadizzy:

Whaddaya mean I'm supposed to have time to fly the sim for "fun"? :costumes:

Mostly helicopters, about 70-80% of the time. Then there are the GA aircraft that I like, cessna 421, 206, and the beaver. Then comes the occasional biz jet as well as an ultralite/trike flight.

I never do the tubeliners as I don't care about those kinds of systems and commercial long hauls are pointless to me.

I'd do more military jets if weapons worked, just seems kinda sterile at times without this option.

That is the one thing I miss about my old VA, it gave me a reason to fly which made it more satisfying.
 
All Piglet Aircraft
Razbam A-6 and EA-6B
Carenado Cessna 152 and 182
Default Cessna 172, J-3 Cub, Maule
Ported over the Ford Tri-motor from FS9
 
i'm a g/a kinda guy.

i like the carenado 206, and the 182 alot.
i fly the aa-5b from piglet quite a bit. it is, in fact, the only plane that i sometimes fly from the vc. somehow the eyepoint is just right (to me)
after that, i like the baron. i like tubes for difficult approaches in bad weather.
 
It's sort of a no-brainer for me at the moment. :)

Out of the 3400 or so hours in my logbook right now all but about 2 hours of the last 500 have been logged in the A2A B377.

Before that I was spending a great deal of my time in the CS-C130X.

I prefer big & heavy for most of my flying but I have just as much fun when I get a chance to do short GA hops. The puddle jumper hanger is currently made up mostly of Eaglesoft, Carenado, RealAir and my solo contributions of Lionheart's Epic & Flight1's Pilatus PC-12. Love everyone of them.
 
Just out of interest, until very recently, the "most flown" aircraft in my logbook alternated between the C-130X and Aerosoft Twotter. That was before I got the A2A B377 to review. She and I might have had our fallings out and, for some time, a constant barrage of low level bickering, but at some point something clicked and all of a sudden it rocketed up the charts to take the #1 spot by a long way.

...or is that just because flying a big piston aircraft anywhere just takes an eternity? :costumes:

Currently Piglet's Mite in FSX gets the most airtime with Carenado's FSX Mentor second and LilSki's Champ gets the most in FS9 followed closely by Rick Piper's Aeroprakt and the Carenado Mentor.

I guess you could say I love the VC flying in the Mentor.

I fly mostly out in the bush so slow GA planes are my suit but I do like to make some commercial flights specially at night with heavy traffic....I like fighters but it is tasteless to fly them and not be a able to "wreck havoc" with their guns!!!!!.......why does a progressive Addon outfit not come out with a----"The Ultimate Gun Firing Spectacular for FSX".....Load your guns, fly and shoot Pilots"""...addon???....we won´t kill anyone!!!!!:running:
 
<--- G/A aircraft here. Carenado Skylane, Bucker 131 Jungmann, Rutan LongEze, Epic LT.

I miss that. I was at British Airways Virtual, and I had a blast trying to get my flights done perfect, on time, etc. I even went out to the approach charts for some of the USA cities.
