May 17, 200620 yr The most fun would be easy for me:Either the RealAir Decathlon/Scout/Citabria or the SF260 (I don't have the Spitfire, but I hear that is great as well). It is hard to fly the Realair planes and not have fun :) ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
May 17, 200620 yr Just started learning how to operate the Project Tupolev Tu-154 B2 and it really is a lot of fun.It uses a custom controller setup to give it a great hand-flying feeling.The manual is very good and I'm learning about systems which are very interesting and different to Western planes.Cheers
May 17, 200620 yr Unfortunately I don't get to fly these in the real world so I just have to go by how it feels in the sim. So what may be for me the best flight dynamics in the sim may not be accurate. Only a real world pilot rated on that particular aircraft can decide if it is accurate or not. Though many of the aircraft on my list have recieved praise by real pilots.P.S. Cant wait for the DC8Regards, Carlos
May 17, 200620 yr Here is another suggestion if you just want to turn and really burn.Get the Alphasim F22 Raptor. Thats my burn up the sky plane and on my 34 inch lcd has gotten me sick.More power than a battleship and can roll faster than any of em. I use it to explore and test my graphics settings cause the view from the vr pit is great.The only thing quicker is the Pilots SR-71 which is sold under a few different names. You can look down and look back up and can be in a different state.

May 18, 200620 yr I agree with Manny. If any of you out there are real pilots of aircraft represented by any of the simulations mentioned we would highly appreciate your opinions. After all we would like to have the sims that are as faithful to the real world aircraft as is possible within the restraints of FS.Regards, Carlos
May 18, 200620 yr Small GA: RealAir Scout/Taildragger package. All of those planes are great.Turboprop: Aeroworx B200. The only plane I've owned that you can bank without having the VSI go nuts while struggling with rudder to maintain altitude. It's an exceptional flight model in the air no matter how you manuever. It's also the toughest to land IMO.Airliners: PMDG 747 or 737NG. Also the Level-D. I can't really say I find any of those three better or worse than each other. They're all real nice.The Flight 1 ATR is extremely good as well. It can be tricky to land like the B200 and seems rather realistic in how it feels. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

May 18, 200620 yr I will have to reiterate what Mr Golding and others have said, a so-called "feeling" is IMPOSSIBLE to recreate. it is essentialy a senrsory experience which would depend on a million and one factors, other than the FDE.Havin the exact same model - wouldn't it "feel" differently with different sticks? or a yoke + pedals? or maybe a keyboard??Try turning off the sounds - you might discover it also "feels" different to having those on...I could go on listing similar factors, but I believe you get my drift.As far as I'm concerned, if a flight model is capable of perfectly nailing the numbers on the real things technical specs - then its a perfect model!
May 18, 200620 yr Airliners:DreamFleet's 727 by far... :-hah I can't see how anyone would choose CaptainSim's 727 over DreamFleet's (I would really like to see some valid reason's for this). You can't beat DF's 727 FDE for an airliner of this period.For modern aircraft Level-D's 767 is tops...

May 18, 200620 yr Most enjoyable flight dynamics? Project Fokker 70 and 100.Most realistic flight dynamics? Can't comment since I do not have any hours as PIC in any real aircraft.I would think this list would be very short if we are asking for most realistic flight dynamics. Probably not many have PIC or FO hours in a 7XX series, A3XX series, KA350, etc. We can guess that the flight dynamics are realistic, but if you don't have hours actually flying the aircraft ....
