I have the RealAir Duke and the Carenado Bonanza and are in love with them. Are there other GAs single or twin piston of similar quality which I should try? (preferrably they should be easy to drop in a RXP GNS 530 and/or GNS430). I also have the SR22T but I feel that the interior quality is not as good as the Duke or Bonanza. The DA42 looks good but I love guages & GNS units more than a full Garmin 1000 glass cockpit. Many Thanks.

Hm, well, I think the two you mentioned are the absolute top... afaik there is nothing better out there then those two! There are other nice planes, of course, but the Duke and the Bonanza simply are the best right now: anything else will be nice and okay and great but just not as good as those two (at least not when you want to be able to put the RXP GNS in it!).

The Duke and the Bonanza are pretty much at the top of the heap, I agree. One other that you might like is Carenado's C185 Skywagon. I don't do much in the way of gauge substitution, but it's got quite a bit of free space on the panel if memory serves. It might suit your needs. Plus, it'll give you access to shorter runways and rougher terrain, too (w/the tundra tires package). Just a thought.

What about Flight 1's BN-2 ? It seems really good. I haven't yet bought it myself but will soon.

Thanks. I'll have check our Carenado's 185 and Flight1's BN-2.

I consider this jet great for GA and it is also compatible with RXP GNS430W unit. It's probably the best plane created for FSX, the Lotus L39...I use it all the time on vatsim for flying private jet hops!http://lotussim.com/http://lotussim.com/features-general-rxpgps.htmlIt is extremely FPS friendly as well

Thanks, I already have the L-39 (which is a nice aircraft) but I haven't got used to not having AP.

Hehe looks like you have all the good planes then.For a quick n easy autopilot you can add the default one in - I had the same question on lotus' forums. Now I can have altitude and heading hold while flying on vatsim for those longer trips.You need to be logged into the forums but all the info is located here:http://www.lotussim.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=469

Thanks for the tip and I'll definitely try it out.
