In terms of looks and your list it's like comparing Beyoncé with Dame Edna Everage.in ten different frocks. Well there is not a good one (Concorde) in MSFS at the moment (DC designs don't cut it). Maybe FS Labs in 2026? Edited January 14, 20233 yr by jbdbow1970

January 14, 20233 yr 13 hours ago, Fiorentoni said: which airliners do you feel attracted to None of them. Instead I have a healthy attraction to my wife! 😆 Airliners currently in MSFS that I find aesthetically pleasing are: 747-8 a.k.a. Jumbo Jet. Although the -8i has some great lines, I prefer the -400 as it has the best proportions and winglets, unlike other variants. That said, she's Queen of the Skies for a reason. BAe 146 a.k.a. Jumbolino. High wing, T-tail, four engines (and great short field performance), so different from the low wing, two engine identikit airliners that eventually replaced it. 737 a.k.a. Tin mouse, Maggot, Pocket Rocket Socket, FLUF (Fat Little Ugly F*****), SUF (Short Ugly F*****), Light Twin, Baby Boeing, Fat Freddy, Guppy, Yuppy Guppy, Pig, Bobby (BOeing BaBY), Rudder Rotor, Fat Albert, Dung Beatle. So many face-lifts that the latest incarnation looks more like the late Joan Rivers than Scarlett Johansson. Then again, the Jurassic 737s weren't as pleasant to look at as their bigger sister, the 727 (hence all the unflattering nicknames). Ask someone to name a short-haul airliner and it's probably the first one to come to mind. All the rest are visually fine, but nothing special, and that includes the 787. As mentioned, Concorde is a special, special aircraft. But that nose when drooped reminds me of Barbra Streisand. It's the one visual disappointment, the rest of it looks like a scaled-up supersonic military jet.

January 14, 20233 yr Well, I do like the 747, but only the first couple of versions, and ideally the SP. To me, all the stretched versions of anything are a bit like your favourite hollywood glamour pusses after the face lifts have taken hold (a bit sexist, I grant you, but if we are going to anthropomorphise these things . . .) I also love the A318, which is now available via LVFR, and the 737-600. I guess I'm just not the leggy super-model type! (and I'm sure that's extremely reciprocal) (but none of these can hold a candle to the Spitfire or P51, but maybe the non-airliner thread will be along later) Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.

I think it's because the landing gear is so short and the plane so low and what the 757-300 did to the beautiful perfection of the 757-200 was criminal 😆 The 777-300 bothers me somehow as well.

What makes you compare this to the E-Jet? For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
