What are your top pick planes?

[Puddin 70]

JF Arrows and Hawk, all are top notch in all aspects for me.

AH Spitfire 1 was good but not impressed with the latest patch, sounds are now weak to the previous and also its bugged on VSI.

Flying Iron Spitfire IX for adding drama from the exhaust stack, other devs please take note. 😁

Milviz PC6 & C310

H145 the most feature rich module and a team who continue to push the boundaries.

And  a shout out for the Carenado Waco YM5, a pig to take off and land, but looks and sounds gorgeous.

The HJET is the only plane I care to fly now and in the near future.

Recently:

1. Savage Grravel

2. The modded Bonanza

3. Asobo F/A-18. Love doing valley runs in it! The need for speed…

Looking to get into some warbirds next, but haven’t done any research. Became quite familiar with the P-51 in XP11.

For me it's currently:

1.  JF  BAe146 especially flown VOR/ADF/ILS

2.  JF Arrow III

3. FI Spitfire IX for the sounds and VR immersion or PMDG 737 for the challenge 🙂

[scotchegg 4,186]

Milviz 310, Sting S4, Zenith STOL. Rarely fly anything else recently although just got the JustFlight Hawk for guilty giggles.

May I recommend:

1. Milviz Corsair

2. AH P-51

3. Flying Iron Spitfire

Honorable mentions:

1. AH Spitfire

2. Big Radials P-40

3. The Reno Air Races Birds (especially the P51, these birds are actually not that bad)

Thanks! Been looking at the AH P-51. Don’t think there’s any other renditions of it yet? Got one AH airplane so far (C140) which is of decent quality.

Seems like the Flying Iron Spitfire gets the most praise? (vs the AH one)

1. Beech-18, 2. Boeing 247, 3. Electra 10, 4. Cri Cri, 5. Constellation, 6. DC-6

Sorry, but I just can't resist...

They're all P3D planes. :-)

On top of that we're all just sitting in a chair in our office or man caves hehe.  Not even A2A is that close to flying an actual aircraft.  Not everyone who sims has time for every little detail of preflight,flight, and post flight.

edit: lol my post did not age well.... as A2A just previewed their cockpit with new engine monitor.  I will agree that A2A, for GA, is probably the closest sim addon to real flying...but that it is still not like actual flying.  It's definitely closer than Carenado for example I'll give that other guy credit there.

I agree 100%

Yeah, it'll be awhile if at all before the Falcons, Learjets, Phenoms and similar quality bizjets show up in MSFS. The default bizjets in MSFS are half nice. The Longitude is incomplete (eg. missing cabin) and the CJ4 is un-usable to me (fonts in panels unreadable).

In that line of thinking you can also say that P3D planes are all FSX planes, because they existed in FSX before existing on P3D, lol. And by the way, default MSFS planes are MUCH better than any P3D default plane.

There are some payware that blow away anything I ever used in P3D. But, you have your choices.
