Even though on Avsim we are usually focused on payware aircraft, the fantastic freeware mods available in MSFS (in particular WT's and FBW's efforts) have brought some of the default aircraft to a very decent level.

With that in mind, what 3 aircraft, whether Airliner / Bizjet / Turboprop / 'Bug smasher' / Rotary wing / Glider, would you like to see as default versions in MSFS2024?

.
Taking inspiration from the default aircraft of flight sims past, mine would be:

1. Dash 8 (any variant)
2. Learjet 45
3. 777-300

Your MSFS2024 aircraft wishlist

A morse code we can hear. Seems impossible to fix in FS20 

I also want a Dash 8 at the same system depth of the ATR in the marketplace.

A metroliner would also be nice.

Jorg said the aircraft list will make us excited so I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing what will be on it. I'm pretty much locked in to get the premium deluxe version if there is one.

727. How are we supposed to create a DB Cooper documentary without it? 🙂

 

PMDG 737, A2A Comanche,  and Fenix A 320. That is all I need. 😉

777

Aerostar

T-6

Dash 8

Moar Folkers

Piper Tomahawk (!)

PC-24

Epic

Evolution

Gulfstream (any or all)

Phenom 300
 

Too obscure to be a default aircraft , but I’d really love a British Aerospace ATP.

It would be great if just flight did it as it would sit nicely with their BAe 146.

A350 and or a good A330

• A350, modded by talented folks like FBW

That would actually be enough for me. But since we're asked to list three aircraft:

• AgustaWestland Da Vinci to play rescue pilot in the Alps
• Harrier to mess around

I mean most of the default aircraft I could do without.  However the few exceptions with the WT enhancements such as the CJ4, C700 and TBM I'd love to see again in 2024.

Also I'd LOVE to see a Citation X+ with the same tech as the longitude.

The rest I'd take with my payware...my BS Baron, Bo, upcoming Dukes, TBM.  A2A's Comanche but I'd love to see their 300hp V tail... a analog Lancair Legacy.  An Embraer Praetor would be sick, any newer Falcon like the 8X, 2000S, even a 900EX would be appreciated.  I'd take a Gulfstream, Global any long range bizjet as well.

I'd also love to see a C441 with high end systems or a Cheyenne (the PA42 preferably as it's faster), also hope to see a2a's Aerostar someday.

Basically anything fast that's not military or an airliner I'd buy with reasonable systems depth.

PMDG 777X

 

An interesting but challenging question.

What was the purpose of the default aircraft in 20 and its predecessors ?   To make us wait for the payware 😃. But the payware we have now are supposed to fly in FS24. This defeats the purpose. So why new default birds ? 

FS24 will almost certainly come with a CL 415, a heavy lift chopper and air tractor. Not sure I need anything more.  Also, better have a few good default aircraft than a pile of so-so birds which could be modded by good souls.

Then, there are quite a few aircraft that I would NOT like to see in the default roster lest no payware dev would do them afterwards.

The only default aircraft I care about (Baron, King Air) have already been updated with Blacksquare's gauge update and that is all I need for short to medium flights. Waiting for BS Turbo Duke, after that one and PMDG 737-600 (which I already have), is all I need.
