PMDG NGX, MD11 (perhaps technically not the best but it got sooo much ambience), Airbus Extended (I might not be able to move here out of the spot,but at least I can enjoy the VC...), QW BAe146/RJ

1. NGX (Pretty obvious TBH)

2. MD-11 (Not the prettiest but wow, is it gorgeous at night when its dark and the backlight is at medium)

2. Majestic Dash 8 - It looks a bit sterile but its gorgeous and everything works!!

3. QW Avro although their 787 may beat this when its released..

3. Looks + Functionality

- PMDG NGX

 

4. Looks + Functionality + FPS

- PMDG MD11

 

 

I love MD11 so much.. its very fps friendly, VC is very nice in night and in day, very interesting plane too.. i cant give same amount of love to NGX.. AXE is very very nice its VC only but .. some "Hardcore" simulation things dont and never will work.

LevelD 767 havent got a nice VC but.. what a topic with "Airliner" in name withou mentioning a 767 by levelD

 

so my personal list of airliners.. 1.) PMDG MD11 PMDG 747 LevelD 767 Aerosoft Airbus x Extended aaaand finaly PMDG NGX (i just cant get over the low FPS [even on i5-2500k@4,5 8gb ram])

 

So..if you want airliner.. go for PMDG MD-11 real operating on short and long routes both super FPS and looks.. best product so far

I agree with you on the MD-11. I have most of the planes you mentioned but the MD-11 gets used close to 90% of the time I'm flying tubeliner flights. Its fun getting it into challenging fields like Toncontin. Flying with the Saitek yoke makes it even more interesting to fly. I wish PMDG would do a V2 of that bird, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Exactly! + the MD11 have one cool feature that is very usefull and thats automated step-climb.. i just love this feature.. dont need to watch the plane, also when you are fully loaded and if the runway its not long enough it will alarm you that rwy is not long enough.. Amazing! and the automated autothrust on approach is awesome.. cant love this plane more.. cant be more perfect..

:P I bet PMDG are quite puzzled by all the love the MD11 has gotten over the last months considering the in their view disappointing sales figures! Hopefully having been in the limelight like this it has picked up more interest/sales because to me it's probably the most underrated aircraft add-on in the history of FS! We need more rumble!!!

While I wish this were the case, they are probably to busy focusing on the T7 to worry about the MD-11. Maybe they think if they do a V2 of the MD-11 it might cannibalize sales of the T7  :rolleyes:

I agree 100%. The captains in my virtual airline (http://airjamaicavirtualairlinesandcargo.org/) cannot understand why I fly the MD11 on every route in the airline.  B)

Is there something wrong with your graphics card? I can see through your cockpit textures....:)

 

I am jealous though!
