FSX-MS Fast and easy GA plane

[JTH1969 7]

Check out Carenado, and Alabeo both are producing amazing GA aircraft.

Some excellent suggestions thus far. I wouldn't disagree with any of them.

 

There is another one to consider, though.

 

The Alabeo Staggerwing is exceptional. After two or three flights you will come to love this aircraft.

 

I fly it almost everyday

 

Whatever you chose, have fun flying and Blue Skies!

Well, guys, thank you for all these suggestion!

 

Having most of the suggested ones made me thinking different, thus I spend some money in getting some Reality XP GNS gauges. Having an GNS530 in my RealAir Beech Duke almost doubbled the fun! So much settings and functions to try out...

How about the Eaglesoft Sr22?

A little dated but still an excellent rendition... great fde, and a chute that works!  RXP 430's can be put in it too!

Did you get the Summer 2011 data?  Info on their forums.

Thanks for the tip, downloading atm (998MB will take a while with my slow connection).

I've been flying the RealAir Legacy exclusively since I got serious, and it's just a tough plane to beat.  Carenado's products are great, but they just don't "feel" the same as the Legacy.  Extra expensive gauges aren't necessary, except for the RXP GNS530W, which turns the Legacy into the PERFECT trainer, all the way through your "IFR rating." And you don't have to use the "fast-forward" key! 240 knots TAS!!!

 

You can fly it as a lower-powered plane, too.  Just experiment with MAP in the 12-to-20 range, and you can get all sorts of nice speed/economy combinations.

 

After not so very many flights, you also learn to time your descents and approaches so that the speed brakes aren't necessary.  But they sure come in handy sometimes anyway, since you can't drop the gear until 132, and the flaps until 122.  (If you jump the gun, you might get a very realistic, and scary, surprise.)

 

I'm a Sport Pilot with about 70 hours, and usually fly the Gobosh 700 LSA.  The Legacy is helping me keep my mojo for the long periods when "real" flight is a budget-buster.  (Well, that, and a couple other things--Angle of Attack's AviatorPro, and PilotEdge, but those are different topics, I guess.)

I am a fan of the Carenado 337. I am falling in love with Aerosoft's new Twotter. Both RealAir Dukes get lots of my airtime. That is my top 3 at the moment. As for the A2A Mustang, very far from easy. Awesome yes, easy no. I would say money spent on any of the above will likely be well spent. Did I mention the twin Otter? :-)
