I am thinking of purchasing some payware planes and would like to know which ones that you think is the best. thanks

If you don't actually have an aircraft in mind, then I should start with the hundreds of excellent freeware aircraft available. When you home in on anything you particularly enjoy, then post again and we can all have a good old session determining whether what you choose is best rendered in freeware or payware!

Well there are lots of nice ones but here a few of my favorites.if i could only have one of each type it would be the first one in each catagory but its a hard choice.Single:RealAir SF260FSD Commander 115Flight1 PIper MeridianTwin: Aeroworx B200Flight1 Cessna 421FSD Piper NavajoBiz jet: Eaglesoft Citation XEaglesoft Citation IIPassenger jet:PMDG Boeing 737LDS 767Military JetCloud9 Fiat G-91T37Sim T-37 tweetCloud9 F104

I agree with the above and would add for regional passenger service (or a large family reunion) the following:Flight1's ATR 72-500 Feel There's ERJ 145Also, Flight1's new Pilatus is an excellent all weather performer.All very complete aircraft.Best VC available today - RealAir SF260 (gauge update rates and clarity).Bob...

You don't say whether you prefer turbo-prop or jet. If you prefer jets I'd recommend two ... PMDG737 and PSS Concorde. Both are seriously advanced aircraft so you'll need to be a medium to advanced user of FS to be able to fly them properly.Cheers,

There are a pile of awesome payware planes out there - it really comes down to what you like flying. I'm more of a piston engine person, actually that's all I fly in FS now though I used to fly the jets.If you want a jet - the PMDG 737NG's are the best. Go for the full package - it will cost you around $80 but is definately worth it. The database for the FMC is probably the most complete one of all, it's very realistic though a bit hard on the system.For props - I'd recommend either the Dreamfleet Beechcraft Bonanza A36, the Realair sims SF-260 or the MAAMSIM DC-3.

At the moment I'd have to say my candidate for the overall best is the LDS 767, while it does lack in the sound (they're still better than most) and variety departments (you only get the -300 but you DO get all 3 engine variations), the rest of the pcakage is simply so advanced model-wise, and it's all very subtle, like the independent lighting. All of the lights that should be controlled independently are worked just as they should be, as are their effects on the aircraft itself - and we're not talking some half-baked effects here, it's all in the textures and looks extremely believable. Missi's model itself surpasses my normal expectations of payware airliners in terms of actually being shaped right, and I wouldn't expect any less as he's never disappointed me before. The wing is only flexed in a couple of places, yet it looks so smooth anyway by sheer virtue of how he flexed it (and Frit's wingflex and reverser XML is always a plus as it adds a completely new dimension to most anything).I haven't even begun to immerse myself in the systems yet...

>I am thinking of purchasing some payware planes and would>like to know which ones that you think is the best. thanksThe answer would depend very much of what system you have.A very good plane could be to demanding for your system resources.For example the Flight 1 ATR 72-500 turboprop is from what I haveheard a very good plane but has very high system requirements.

>>FSD Piper Navajo>Do you have other twins from FSD like the Aerostar and Seneca? Ifso how do they compare to the Navajo?
