Simply the #1 best aircraft that FSX ever had :-)

Depends on your flying style. So what is your kind of flying?

 

 

 

EDIT: We are pretty close to this one, aren't we?   :rolleyes:

Matter of opinion entirely. Silly question really.

If we are talking about systems inmersion, flight dynamics and well modeled there is no doubt:

 

 

Pmdg 737NGX and 777

Majestic Dash-8 400

A2A accu-sim cessna 172 trainer

A2A Accu-sim Piper J3 Cub.  Systems modeling is top rate.    Flight model is excellent.  And it's FUN to fly!

 

A better question might be, "If you could have only one FSX aircraft, what would it be and why?"

 

For me, that would be the default Grumman Goose that I have heavily tweaked, if only because I've flown it more than all other aircraft in FSX combined.

Flight1 Cessna Mustang has got to be in there.

Latest Milviz and RealAir aircraft have to be on the list.

Realair Duke, Legacy

Flight1 King Air 200

PMDG NGX

The default Trike!

 

Tested by real pilots and they all give it "Two thumbs" up for flight fidelity. B)

And don#t forget its systems - that's pretty much as close as it gets :rolleyes:

 

On topic: It's pretty hard to say, it depends entirely on what typr of flying you do, and more importantly what you expect from the addon: Are you 

A) a GA pilot, who mainly cares for visuals, perhaps even don't care too much about the flight dynamics: RealAir (among the best in terms of FDE and visuals, actually) and Carenado/Alabeo (some FDE are good, some definitely are not)

B) a GA pilot with high demands about systems fidelity: Probably MilViz, can't judge them, perhaps also (some) RealAir releases

C) an airliner pilot who just wants a pretty plane: CLS 767, to a certain extent Captain Sim

D) an airliner pilot with moderate system demands: Airbus X, to a certain extent Captain Sim (but pretty expensive IMO)

E) an airliner pilot with high demands about systems: PMDG, LevelD

F) a chopper pilot: Nemeth (pretty visuals, but unrealistic flight behavior);AS Huey (probably the most controversial FSX helicopter, but pretty nice IMO); DodoSim, Cera (quite high standards, though the Dodo Jet Ranger is quite dated)

G) a military fan: IRIS (some planes are pretty, some aren't, no actual system depth, though); AS F-16 (intermediate, dated); MilViz F-15, T-38; the "benchmark addon" VRS F-18

Why doesn't anyone talk about the PMDG 747?

This is so interesting. I thought the default aircrafts in FSX where the worst of the worst in every category. How are you able to mod the default craft so they are better?

Don't sell all the default aircraft short.  I like the Goose (especially the HD Ozx model) and the Maule a lot.  Bernt Stolle and several others make updated airfiles for the defaults that are quite good.

Don't forget the Lotus Sim L-39.

I said PMDG in the post above yours, that includes all of their planes, at least that's what I thought -_-. But they are working on a newer, up-to.date version, IIRC, so if you don't have the need for an accurate 747 right now, you might want to wait for that one. Could take them a while till release, though...

Well, that's easy to answer.

Twin Otter Extended
A2A 172 trainer
PMDG 737NGX
And LOTS of Carenados that are way over the standard aircraft, but just can't make a number 1 place.
