If you could only keep one…?

Now you're talkin'!

I don't understand how those clever ole boys can't convert it. It would STILL be the best P-51D on 2024 (or 2020)

They can, but they’ve apparently recently decided to prioritize their historical Best Sellers like the 172 and Warrior.

Why they didn’t do that in the first place instead of speculative dev of the unproven Aerostar and Legacy is beyond me.

Though it doesn’t make sense from looking at their P3D portfolio, it would appear that warbirds aren’t all that popular…?🤷‍♂️

  • He says "only one" then lists 57 in dozens of categories! 😆 @UrgentSiesta 😉 I'll go hardcore like some of the other guys above, and just stick my stake in the sand with one aircraft addon :- BLACK S

  • Any of the high quality aircraft from MSCENERY🤣🤣🤣

  • Yeah, that’s a cop out 😆 I think a lot of these add ons now are so good they’d support the use of just the host sim and a single add on, and you’d still be entertained .Like back in the old days wher

My favorite however is the Patey Draco, I really like STOL bushcraft and this one is just a beast, super fun in free flight, and actually useful for plane SAR missions in career mode. Lots of challenges around the world trying to land on helicopter pads, rooftops, and other landscapes!

The Draco is so much fun it should be illegal!! 🤣

BS Bonanza/Baron combo.

Absolutely, Bert. I wouldn't lose much sleep if all of my flying in the sim was in these birds 😎

And the bundle provides so much variety; A nice lowly normally-aspirated A36, a TC'd super climber! A mad T-P ('mini-TBM'), the NA twin, TC twin and that gorgeous pressurised 58P!

Could not agree more👍

Fenix A320 as I find it friendliest to hand-fly, works perfectly with GSX and with Self Loading Cargo, has the best set of liveries for my needs, whereas the others in my fleet have a few quirks to deal with. TBH they're all great though but for 'only keeping one' it would have to be Fenix.

Fly Boeing, fly the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ). It sounds like an advertisement 🤣

Being Business you can start anywhere and go anywhere 😉

Fenix for me. Airbuses are my favourite airliners to sim, the the Fenix is the best imho.

I picked up the Baron last sale. What an excellent, immersive addon! For pure fun, it’s hard to beat!

But, I still spend more time in the Aerostar. Partly because of my self-imposed A2A for Pistons and BS for Turbines “rule”, but also because it requires more focus to operate properly (and who wants to relax when there’s Serious Simming to be done! 😂).

I finally picked up the Aerostar this week - it’s very nice and seems very stable, with excellent visibility in the pattern or any other time.

And it’s older and from the 1970s. Like me! 😂

It’s also FAST but can easily get in and out of airports that don’t support private jets.

I know I should enjoy my time in the air and plod along at a leisurely pace admiring the scenery, but I find the Aerostar allows me to enjoy the scenery I would in a Cessna or Comanche at a speedier clip so I can land and move onto the next flight.
