February 7, 201214 yr 3) A2A B377 COTSProVery good performence according to Avsim reviewCareer mode gives purpose to flight. A thing I miss in FSXDeep simulation depthConThe plane looks weird and somewhat uglyMaybe a little bit to obsolate and primitive planePretty much exactly how I felt about the 377 before I bought it. Didn't quite like the looks at first but as Blaze said it will grow on you. Now it is by far my favorite airliner add-on. I have already logged more hours in it than the PMDG 747 and J41 combined. Not that those add-ons are bad in any way, but the 377 with COTS is just so much more fun. Rolf Lindbom
February 7, 201214 yr Author Have to agree. What was my favorite add-on in FS9 is somewhat lacking in the FSX environment. I just can't figure out what it is.Is it not simple that the Maddog is not a FSX only plane but a FS9 plane made FSX compatible and that this means problems with performence. Otherwise I already have it.PMDG MD-11By far my favorite. I even like it more than the NGX.....Why? Shouldn't the newer NGX be better both in regard to system moddeling and visuals?

He simply said the MD-11 is his favorite. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
February 7, 201214 yr Captain Sim 707 and 727, CLS 747 (this models the 100/200 and INS nav systems). I bought these 3 based on my nostalgia for old TWA paints, but the CapSim planes (IMO) are great...I have all of them, I don't understand all the flack CapSim gets on these forums.Me too. Those old horses by CS are musthaves for all lovers of classic aircraft. Regards,Stan
February 7, 201214 yr I love flying the COTS B377 but to add another plane to you list the Quality wings 757
February 13, 201214 yr Author I would like to thank all who posted to this thread. And I can say that after thinking about it my conclusion is that the A2A COTS B377 is the winner. The reasons areThe accusim that raises the realism to a whole new level.Extraordinary good performence according to avsim review.Captains log gives purpose to flight and that without having to start other programsAs I sse it the other suggested airliners might match the first point but hardly the others. But of course future releases might change the picture and I'm in no hurry.
