Hadn't really thought about it; but I do seem to stick a select few 'craft:1) PDMG 737NG - always look forward to it.2) RFP 742 - when I can get the time, and enough energy to prep and complete at least a coast-to-coast flight in the USA.3) FSD SenecaV - seriously good GA sim, man.4) MAAM DC-3 - Island hopping in the Caribbean5) RealAir SF260 - hop in and go. Great for admiring all the great scenery enhancements you added.6) FSD Cheyenne - takeoff to tuochdown, this one is a blast to fly IMO. (if you can get it to the runway without running thru the airport fences tryning to control ground speed. actually it's not that bad on the ground; but she's a spirited ride for sure).

Interesting - I checked my inventory and found I have 81 aircraft. Of those, I find that I mainly use 15 types. Here are my must-have 6:1. Aeroworx B200 - Great small tuboprop, Does everything well.2. Eaglesoft Cessna Citation II - I have faster, more expensive Business jets, but I seem to enjoy flying this one the most.3. Flight 1 IK DC-9 - I like the old style jetliners with analog gauges.4. FSD Seneca V - This is the aircraft I wish I owned for real. excellent flight model, very good all-around performance. This was a tough choice with the FSD Navajo and the Dreamfleet Cessna 310 close behind.5. PSS Dash 8 - Very good flight model. The YS-11 was a close second6. RealAir SF260 Marchetti - This one does it all, aerobatics, cross country, sightseeing.These six give a choice of a good single, a small twin, a small turboprop, a large turboprop, a business jet, and an airliner. All are much better,IMO, than the default aircraft. All run well on my P4 2.53, GF4TI4600 system.Dale

I'm exempt...I would never be limited to six, if one of my planes works in the next sim, they all will, or can be upgraded by myself to do so.Yay for being exempt and upping my post count!

GEEZ...Can you believe this?I only have 3 planes in my hangar!!!! I guess mine's is the smallest hangar in FS history!!!! LOL( and I am not newbie, been simming since the days of FS2 or 3)Here they are:PDMG 737NGReal Air SF260PDMG B1900I am doing gigaquad's HRW tour, and looking for a better twin, but I am very difficut to convince... I will keep an eye on this thread maybe I'll give it a go to some of the options here.

You miss the point entirely EC...What if the sim were not Open architected, and you only had SIX slots to play with? What six airplanes would you choose? Very tough for you I know because you are a highly prolific developer!Eric J.

Hello all,Only six huh? Big stuffCS727 PMDG 737NG (when I can convince my neighbor to let me at his system) guess I'm gonna have to break down and buy it LOLPOSKY 757-200GAFSD Cheyenne 400Eaglesoft Citation XAeroworks Super King Air 200Now, I have a few which are really my favorites, but they have mixed and matched panels, or custom panels by myself and they don't fit the rules.The above are what I consider the best that aftermarket developers have to offer . . . for MY taste and flying.I can say this, the CS727 will probably be replaced with the DF 727 when it is released . . .

No one has mentioned the Antonov An-14. This one has NO 2d panel -- strictly VC only. And must be the king of STOL for a 6 passenger a/c.Try it - you'll love it!Barry
