Help me decide on a new commercial aircraft

Featured Replies

Been using FSPassengersX and it has left me wanting to expand my owned aircraft. I currently use Coolsky's Super MD-80 Pro almost exclusively, so have enjoyed a very solid product that performs exceedingly well on my . . . old . . . quad core Penryn. If you're up for it, give me your 1st choice in two areas:1. A smaller regional jet (50 passengers or so)2. A larger jet that is good for cross country (US) flights. Don't think I want the really big birds tho . . .My chief concerns are in order of priority:1. Must run well on my system (below), where well = smooth, frames at 15 or higher in dense terminals, ie in the worst of situations. MD-80 runs well over that in the worst of situation/weather/dense terminals2. Interior is graphically very sharp IQ wise3. Must have an FMC4. Excellent sound5. Cabin detail is not so importantThanks bunches for your recommendations,Noel

1. - here my suggestion would be the Feelthere Embraer V2.Don't know what to suggest for the larger one. Level D 767 maybe.

PMDG MD-11 is top notch, with good frame rates, a great FMC, and is surprisingly great for short flights which is what I use it for. I would say it is my all time favorite, and I have almost every commercial addon out there (and broke in the wallet because of it!).

Maybe digital aviations Fokker 70 only its a shame that comes without a virtual cockpit. The plane and system simulation are very detailed.And the pmdg md11 is a good buy fun to learn all the systems en very fps friendly

That is a strong endorsement. I had the 737 and 747 in FS9 and those were my favorites all time. I'll take a closer look thanks.

How is the sound pack for the MD11 Tom?It wouldn't be my first choice just because of how the exterior model looks, but it seems useful for the size I'm aiming for, and it sounds like it fills the rest of the bill fine.I like the looks of a 747 alot more, but I don't do that length of flights hardly ever. If I had to conjure up a model I'd like to have the most, it would be a 757, but I don't hear the positive accolades for any available 3rd party addons for that one. I had the chance to fly a night flight in an Airbus 320 just 2 days ago from Phoenix to Sacramento and enjoyed the flight alot. Made me realize how poorly nighttime textures are, even with GEX/UTX. FTX/Orbx night time flying is one heck of a lot nicer. I hope they come out with the PacNW area as I will be first in line on that texture upgrade.
