Aircraft found in "others" - They do fit in other categories!

Not sure why these aircraft are in the “others” section really. Well, the “odd bird” in this gang is quite obvious, but the rest? The Honda, the Junker etc? =P

Everyone has an own definition of “odd”.
For me an odd bird is an airliner with three turbines on it´s tail section :smiley:

But the Honda jet… well that thing has truly ugly designed turbine nacelles (what where the designers thinking this looks completely off!) but otherwise it´s a fully normal private biz-jet.
The Junkers 52 is a classic tri-motor, and the aircraft to the left is some private light aircraft category.

Not that odd, “odd” is Otto Lilienthal building another set of wings from pig-skin, and this:

Say goodbye to the Cessnas, because this will be the future of flying! (This is also a warning, these kind of drones will really be the future of private aviation, so please Cessna invest in these new electric motors an batteries and designing drones, in 30 years there will be probably no market anymore for these typical private pilote license high-winged light aircraft design anymore we had since the 1930ies, but only auto-flying GPS controlled e-quadcopters! And such an absolute CLASSIC and iconic brand as Cessna and Beechcraft must survive every market change.)

This might be little OT, but I wish we had a category called ”my favourites”

Yes, there isn’t even an ‘airliner’ category. ‘Jets’ displays the fighter planes… faceplam.

Ah that is one great idea!!
Having a favorite plane mode showing only my airplanes Fenix, Carenado, Flysimware, Milviz and PMDG in the aircraft selection menu while having the rest completely removed from view (but not deleted because I need these for AI traffic), would be a superb idea! :slight_smile:

And a jet is a purely fighter aircraft in English? I thought this term jet is used for everything powered by a turbofan. I sometimes called the PMDG and the Fenix a “jet” because I did not know that, sorry.

Maybe I’m stupid but surely there is an airliner category? That’s where I find my DC-6, 737 and A320 at least.

It’s actually me who is stupid… or the UI is a bit daft, didn’t notice until now but when I re-checked … actually need to scroll 1 line down to see the airliners category. There is plenty of room to show all the categories though argh. Can’t post a screenshot of it right now as the forum isn’t able process the image, blimey.

Double blimey… the Pilatus PC-12 is listed under airliners. And I agree that Jets would = airliner for most folks understanding too but the UX in this game, especially for PC is [ redacted ]
