If you had to limit your picks to three planes to use in MSFS (and that includes deluxe,  premium deluxe, freeware and pay ware - if you tried any), which ones would you pick? And in what order? I'd appreciate it if your answers had different categories. I'm particularly interested in propeller planes, private jets and commercial jets.

And if any of you has the PMDG DC-6, how would you rank it among the others?

 

 

1 : PMDG DC-6

2 : A32NX

3 : WT CJ4

99 : Aerosoft CRJ, might go up in the rating if they add all the promised features missing at launch and fix all the bugs

1) Just Flight Turbo Arrow - the best GA plane is the sim so far. Fun and HUGELY engaging.

2) PMDG DC-6 - Airliners aren't really my thing so it's not number 1 but this is a work of art with complexity that can scale to your ability level.

3) Stock G-36 Bonanza with Rob Young's Turbo Bonanza mod - takes an OK stock plane and turns it into something really good to fly and a particular favourite of mine in FSE.

DC6, FBW A32x, and the TBM with the enhancement mods. 

But I'd be annoyed, because there are other fun planes I'd miss out on if I had to only choose 3.

I'm a total noob when it comes to FS2020. I flew the PMDG 777 almost exclusively in FSX. That's why I asked the question. I want to pick a plane to stick with for now. What are your other fun planes?

Yeah there's a lot of planes bubbling just under the three I chose and on another day it could have been a different but equally valid list :)

Also would be fun if you could share what is your top 3 expected planes, for me it's

1) Milviz SR-71, I am not at all into military jet, but this is such a cool machine.

2) PMDG 777 or 747, A beautifully detailed long hauler.

3) Aerosoft Twin Otter, perfect for island hopping and Himalayas tourism.

Most fun to just jump into and fly......

TBM930, Blackbox  BN-Islander, C172

Am strictly GA flying. No clear favorite at this point and its not so much about the aircraft models as it is about the avionics. 

The Carenado's Seneca,Mooney and Seminole and the A32NX

And also the modded  Longitude

Just Flight Turbo Arrow - for short hops 

Carenado Mooney - for longer cruises/cross country

M339 - for speed

Savage Gravel - for pure fun
