I mean, they both do but the Comanche in particular.

Yesterday at 08:27 AM1 day I would add Black Square Bonanza (single) and Baron (twin) to the list. They are both superb Ryzen 7 9800x3D @5.2GHz; ASUS X670-P Motherboard; nVidia 4080 (factory o/c); 32G 5600MHz DDR5 SDRAM; Pimax Crystal Light VR Headset; Quest 3 VR Headset

Thanks again!These are all good recommendations, but as mentioned above, you should first decide what kind of avionics you want to use for your training... If you would like to switch to "glass", you could choose the Garmin G1000 which is very common in these kind of aircraft, and well modelled in the sim, thanks to Working Title.. In this case, you do not need to purchase payware aircraft.. You might start in the Beech G36 Bonanza, and later upgrade to the TBM 930 or Beech Baron. All excellent default aircraft!If you prefer analog gauges, coupled with a Garmin GNS530, I would suggest the Blacksquare A36 Bonanza, followed by the Baron etc..If you would like the latest Garmin GPS, the GTN750, it can be purchased separately, later.. and added to these aircraft, in place of the GNS530. 🙂Lastly, also consider what kind of autopilot you are comfortable with... The Justflight Arrow, for example, has a rudimentary autopilot which just might get you killed when you are in challenging conditions.. This, unfortunately, happens in real life too.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dOwr0jwF30 Edited 19 hours ago19 hr by Bert Pieke Bert
