September 3, 201015 yr What I actually fly and what I thought I liked best are not the same.no F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18.Just 4 default and 2 add-ons are currently over a hundred hours eachbut my Acelleration install is just a few weeks old...

September 3, 201015 yr VRS SuperBugIt has more detailed graphics, more system depth and a more challenging flight model than anything else in my hanger.Mind you, the L-39 and the RAS Duke are great too...Cheers,Noel. 11th Gen i9-11900K @ 3.5GHz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | Corsair 64 GB RAM | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB | Asus 27" RoG G-Sync Track IR5 | Thrustmaster Warthog | CH Products Pedals
September 3, 201015 yr For me, the RealAir Duke, the Carenado C185F, and the Aerosoft BeaverX Lose not thine airspeed, lest the ground rise up and smite thee.
September 3, 201015 yr LevelD 767 is my plane with the most time. You can do both short hauls and long hauls, and the systems depth is outstanding! For instance, I like to do Delta or American short hauls in the US, and British Airways or Air Canada transatlantic trips, and I appreciate proper planning with real world routes from FlightAware and using TOPCAT to prepare for Derated takeoffs and proper fuel/weight loading.I have gotten a bit bored with using it so much these part few months that I have reinstalled the PMDG MD-11. It's nice to see a full featured VC (all buttons, including radios, work in VC) and the FMS is VC enabled as well. I can live with the leveld not having 3d buttons on most of the VC, but those two things (VC radio pedestal and FMC) I really miss, their absence is very noticeable in a FSX plane in this day and age, but I understand the 767 was born from the pre VC FS9 era.I am hoping that after the LevelD 757 they also do a proper "V2" of the 767!The real event will be when the PMDG 737 is released, I am sure all the heavy flyers are going to forget about all their other a/c for months.

September 3, 201015 yr Like to amend that performancewise the PMDG 747 is a good one when going with the 8i extension, which of course adds some dollars on the bill. They tuned the outside quite good and gained some fps there.The VC stays the same and looks outdated. I found the Captain Sim to do best in Boeing optics and they even have more switches to play with as in the glory PMDG (e. g. the ones left of the PFD for your alternate instrument sources: movable and working on the Captain Sim, not on the PMDG).Looking at the VC pedestal and radios of the PMDG just reminds my of the gold old days of texture "sharpness". Luckily they're gone on most other addons around.Again: They earned some money with their latest 8i and Cargo extension for the 747 and let VC and of course flight dynamics completely untouched. Can't blame them to not having stated these facts but it's far away from being precise like they used to be.As some of you always mention this Level D 757: Where's the progress reported towards this project? Seems like some sort of running gag to me, like the VC for the DA Fokker. No offense, just interest.lliaudais, you've flown 760 hours in that trike? :( Jeeeezzz, I thought that they implemented this thing just to get loaded before a real aircraft. Isn't it amazing how this single game called "Flight Simulator" fits to the various needs of its users?
September 3, 201015 yr I like the MD11 from PMDG, which is so complex that flying it is always exciting. And the somewhat dated Flight 1 C172, being that I have quite some actual time in this bird.Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
