First the DC-6 to make freight flights to some remote locations flying mostly VOR and NDB plans; Second 747-400 for long distance Atlas Air flights.

I'm honestly looking forward to whatever pops up first. The VA that I fly for operates the 777 on a regular basis, but it is a shame to see these flights not being completed due to the lack of a suitable payware plane, modelling all possible systems, on the market. That is why I am excited for the 777.

 

The 747 is an excellent aircraft on which I have flown (as pax of course) many times in great comfort and the v1 was very useful in helping me move onto the more advanced aircraft from the default ones when it was first released.

 

The DC6 i am looking forward to since I have been flying with an FMC pretty much since I bought the v1 744 And I look forward to doing more VOR/NDB navigation flights.. Although most of them will probably end up as dead reckoning :P

 

Nice idea for a thread, by the way.

747-400/800 v2 then 777 then DC6.

 

But will buy whatever PMDG releases whenever its released!

1) B747

2) B777

 

Although it is really close, I still like the B747 slightly more. I do not care much for older aircraft or propeller aircraft in general.

777, (I'll buy whatever expansions they make for it), 747-400/8, haven't decided on the DC-6 yet, I'm not really into the classic props, I'm a turboprop fan.

For me, the DC-6 first (just for something different), then the 777 to get the PMDG treatment of this aircraft, then the 747. But I know sooner or later I'll get them all.

747 2.0

DC-6, not very excited about the T7 and no interest at all in the 748

 

I'm with you. I'm sure they will all be fantastic, but I really have not interest in the two longer haul modern birds.

For me it's the B744 (as my VA use it), followed by the 748 (can't wait to see the cockpit changes modelled accurately). I have absolutely no interest in the DC6 and very little in the T7. It's an aircraft that still hasn't "won me over", but that may change once I get my hands on the PMDG version (nor is it used by my VA, so won't get many flights anyway).

 

Forgive the blasphemy but my most anticipated product right now is the FSL A320. Much prefer short/medium-haul flights. :)

After the 777, continue with the plan as stated by PMDG.....upgrade the standard B744 (visual model and panel) and then the new B748. The FSX extended add-on of B748 is not accurrate from the visual standpoint. Then maybe in couple of years........Dreamliner.

DC6, WoodPigeon, 777 and then 747.

Paul Smith.

With money not on my side it looks like I'll be picking only their 777, or maybe just maybe if they release the woodpigeon.

Which one are you most excited for? Which one do you want to buy? Neither? Why?

 

Interested ^_^

 

The 777.

 

I need one modern long-hauler, but not more. As a mostly a short/medium-haul flyer, I have no use for two long-rangers, so I'll skip the 747.

 

I'm not at all interested in vintage classics like the DC6.

Dave P. Woycek

744 I'm most excited for but just barely beats the 777. The DC will be a great plane for something different to learn.

 

exactly +1
