I see. Didn't know there was an upgraded version of the WT G3000. Gonna have to try it. Thanks.

If you buy the H-Jet it comes with a modified version of the G3000. The WT version doesn't have an update yet. I know that they are working on improvements, but nothing has been released.

In no particular order;

PMDG DC6 (dev mode only)

Curious why dev mode only?
I bought this plane months and months ago but never actually flew it or took the time to learn it, getting an urge to fly it. 

My current list in this order:
PMDG 737
Fenix Airbus
Carenado C337 sky master

I have the Hjet, but I thought the G3000 was exactly the same as in the CJ4. But as you said it isn't I want to try the CJ4.

Haven't got many add-on planes as yet, but currently they are:

Just Flight Arrow 3 ( non-turbo, but no doubt the turbo version is every bit as nice ).

PMDG DC-6 ( even if I'm not flying it, I like to sit in it ).

Dave Garwood's Hawker Hunter package ( flies beautifully, and it's free and gorgeous to look at).

( Honourable mention to FBW A32NX, which I am still learning )

PMDG 737 is head and shoulders above the rest for me at the moment. With how good it is I cannot wait for the 777!

Then the Fenix A320, and the JF Warrior for when I fancy some GA/rl practice!

Thought it used the same G3000 as the Hjet. Isn't that so?

No.

Different

Watch a few videos because the Pro Line is different than the G3000.

I thought you meant this one: It's been a while. LOL

I decided after years of watching paint dry excitement, ...

Happens to me too. Just curious.  Have you tried something completely different, like shooters ie. DCS planes? They're on sale now.

A year later:

- RV14A with TDS GTNXi

- C310, with dual TDS GTNXi

- G36 Bonanza with Rob Young mods and WT G1000NXi

It’s beautiful. The cockpit is a work of art. Unfortunately, from what I understand, they built the  ‘pit using a couple of rendering channels that Asobo shut down during a previous update.

This means cockpit performance is not great. However, if you select dev mode and enable ‘use nano vg’ you get that performance back and it performs as well as any other aircraft in the sim.

Interesting. The C310 replaced your Seminole. And you selected the Seminole over the Milviz C310 in P3D.

As of right now - 

Sting S4

C310R

414AW

Yup, things change... and the C310 in MSFS is much better than the C310 in P3D IMHO..

First would have to be the Leonardo MD82, with a third party soundpack it is truly a wonderful aircraft to fly, one that I never get bored of!

Second would be a hard tie between the Fenix A320 and the PMDG 737.

Third is the PMDG DC-6, however it is currently uninstalled on my system until PMDG decide to fix the performance issues.

[The Moose 1,177]

However hard I try I just cant make a top 3 list.    I struggle with a top 10 it changes so often!    I'm going to cheat and do a current top 2 and a few tied for third 😉

Bell 47G

C310R

Trislander, Guimbal Cabri G2, Warrior II, Caproni-Vizzola C-22J, Robinson R-44, Grumman Goose

I’ve been enjoying the Maddog as well. What third party soundpack are you using?

As much as I want to like the PMDG 737, I haven’t been able to configure the controls to my liking yet, seems very sensitive on the pitch axis, but might just be user error.
