T7, DC6 and then 744/8. Too much money to buy all of them, so I guess ill leave 744 for next year (2014).

Should have made this a poll question :smile:. Well, 744 for me, followed by the DC6 then the T7, but we are to the point of splitting hairs here :smile:.

Third the DC-6: propliners made you feel as an aviator and not just a key pusher, but the lack is in our sceneries and traffic, the more they are well done the more they are modern. DC-6 need old time sceneri3es and old time traffic.

 

I think that PMDG said they're doing the freighter version. They're still flying in Alaska - with an Everts Air Cargo repaint you will still be able to fly in a modern environment up North

T7 definitely, had many a chance to ride right seat and jump seat when taxiing back and forth from hangar. Worked around the plane for a few years. Believe it or not only flown on the bugger a couple of times and that was just recently on Cathay Pacific to and from MNL twice. Can't wait to get an updated version of the 744, not interested in the 748 but may get it. DC6 is not my cup of tea, I'm a fan of props (turboprops to be exact), but the verdict is still out on the DC6. I'm sure there is a good reason why so many of them are still flying around, which is why I'll leave my options open on purchasing it.

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

I'd love to get my hands on the DC-6 and fly old school for a change, I've been getting back to the DC-9 and its a nice break from all the modern glass cockpit that today's airliners come with. Also looking forward to the T7 but the 747 never really caught my eye.

777, 744/8

The 777 and 744/8 will fit nicely in my hangar. The DC-6 really doesn't so I don't think I'll buy it.

Mostly in the 777 and 744/8. The DC-6 is quite good and PMDG made a great job as well but I personally don't like the DC-6.

 

So I will buy the 777 and 747 for sure.

I would say the T7-200 but on a second thought that 747 is just too majestic... The DC, no thanks.. Just got me a DC-9 for some steam gauge flying ;)
