Which Payware Aircraft Do You Own?

[Luis_KMIA 242]

1. NGX

2. Level-D 767

3. Others I deleted because of the standard set by the NGX

I own very few payware aircraft, and I don't fly them very often either because they are such hogs on my system.

 

1. Aerosoft F-16

2. IRIS DA40 XLS

3. FSD Cirrus Vision

 

They all fly wonderfully, have great visuals, and the VC's have great functionality.

 

In the future I'm planning on:

 

1.Vertigo Studios Vans RV8

2.Eaglesoft Cirrus SR22

3.Carenado Cessna 152, Cessna 172, and the Piper Archer.

There's certainly a danger in that and it bothers me as well. When I started doing this, I swore I'd keep my plane purchases limited so that I could fly what I had with the care I would in the real world. But I'm weak, and there are a lot of good planes out there these days. I still try to keep it real, and deal with the problem by only flying two, or at most three planes in regular rotations.

 

Heh. Yeah, funny thing is...this weekend I had one of those "let's think about this" moments. I flew the RealAir Legacy some on Saturday morning but then I just sat there thinking "what kind of pilot do I want to be?" In the end, after just reading and thinking, I decided that I wanted to master one airplane...one that I would enjoy in an aeroclub or own. Trouble is, finding one.

I have a few more, but those are the ones currently installed. Flying mostly the NGX, Legacy, Duke, and C90 recently. Like others, I've also been somewhat spoiled by the NGX and now find it difficult to take out other airliners...

Sadly, now behind the hangar with weeds growing around the landing gear-

IRIS PC9 (because it became freeware), Diamond Twin Star

CLS 747

Wilco Airbus A320 family, E-Jets, 737

Captain Sim 707, 727, 767 (modelling is superb, but the manuals are bad and it's hard to get them to fly without proper documentation)

[zmak 331]

PMDG 737 and JS41

 

the JS41 has all my attention now and flying lower I get more time with rex and orbx, Plus the j41 needs to be actually flown rather than set and forget.
