How often do you fly default planes?

[MatthewL 16]

Always wondered how often people here fly payware as opposed to default aircraft. Do you fly default or payware aircraft more? Do you ONLY fly payware, or default? Maybe both?

[Q_flyer 766]

Never.

 

Only fly good quality payware aircraft (too many of them!).

 

None of the default planes cut it, in my opinion.

Right now I have no GA payware, so when I want a GA plane, I'm in the default Baron 58 which I actually like quite a lot.  I'm sure it's nowhere near accurate to the real thing, and it's been so long since I had FS2004 and the Dreamfleet Baron 58 for it that I don't remember how the FSX one compares, but I'm pretty happy with it anyway.

 

I originally used the default A320 a lot because the 737 had some lighting issues and something else wrong in the VC and I didn't like that, and I had been extensively using the A319/20/21 from the now defunct Phoenix Simulations on FS2002/2004 so I was sort of used to the aircraft.  I finally got my first payware aircraft for FSX a few months ago or so though and have been using those 95% of the time.  I still need to get a good payware GA plane though (planning on the Realair Turbine Duke, hopefully V2 but might get V1 and not wait for V2)

If I buy a new scenery or airport ill hop in the trike or the f-18 to check it out but that's the only time ill use default.

I never fly default

[Don t moderate me this way 882]

The default jets are not for me.

 

I fly (from time to time) the default DC-3, the Goose or the Maule.

I fly the Trike or use BOB to explore a newly installed scenery/airport or
while modifying something about them with ADE or IS3.

I only use the Cessna for positioning other aircraft in slew mode and for loading more complex add ons but for flying, none.

I use the Trike to eplore new purchases, and I also like the Goose and the Maule. Those two (and perhaps the Skyhawk) are the best default planes IMo, although I have to say that I use the Aussiex Redux package for the Goose, so it's not exactly the default one anymore :rolleyes:

 

Although the default jetliners aren't exactly good simulations of the real thing in any aspect, I still enjoy the 737 every now and then, when I want to do some airliner flying, and I don't want to bother with anything at all - under those circumstances the 737 is a nice plane, just push the throttle lever forwards, and off you go!

Like someone said, only when I get a new scenery. I'll hop in the default p-51 and explore a little, or the default uh-60 helo to explore airports in detail

[Ron Attwood 3,465]

Er...let me think.....Yep, never. :smile:

[tttocs 301]

I use the 172 for a clean default load.  Otherwise, not at all, I'm afraid.

Sometimes.

 

 

The rest of the time is exclusively spent in freeware aircraft.

Never, Other than to jump in the default Cessna and investigate a new scenery or afcad install before I load a real tubeliner and go flying.

Yes with new scenery I will use the trike if its an airport so I can check it out. I will use the f18 if its a large area of scenery I want to cover quickly and check out. Beyond that I never use the default aircraft. I am now trying to get the hang of the q400 and there is soo much more to do than the 777 or even the 737ngx to have a successful flight, so its a bit of a steep learning curve. Two flights ago I got distracted for a minute and when I looked back the plane was in a full blown tail spin. Luckily I was able to recover, but the virtual passengers will probably never get in another plane after that.
