Best pay ware aircraft for under 20-25 dollars

I agree with this statement.

For the price you get above average sounds, decent system depth (all nav equipment works too), and something completely unique in your hangar. The 1970/80s Italian styling and retro suite of Collins’ radios give it (even more) character!

My only gripe, and it’s a rather silly one, I wish the boost pumps and avionics switches could be mapped to a key/button.

Anyway, I think it’s hard to beat the C-22J at that price.

That was some spelling error. I mean the Carenado Seneca V, beautyful private GA twin with cozy seats and comfortable interior…

I love it! It is not study-level and has no failures but it is beautyful to fly, all instruments are fully functional and it looks really high-detail with 3D rivets and bolts and lot´s of eyecandy stuff.

Not all scenery is worthless, I have installed quite a lot third party airports on islands ports and harbors two weeks ago and they look great (but doing so was a stupid idea because without graphics card I cannot fly to most of these addon airports, getting 1-5 FPS while having the camera panned at the tower makes landing very difficult… :smiley: )

Also this “scenery” here is awesome:

It brings life to the boring empty endless oceans.

i would say spend 39-49 usd and get one of the best ones available
Fenix A320 - Milviz C310R or FSW C414W

better than investing on carenados etc… :wink:

I just bought the Just Flight Hawk T1.
It’s on sale currently at a price of 33.75 euros.
Very well modelled and such fun to fly.

Azurpolys Fouga magister. Totally blow other trainers like Just flight hawk t1, hawker hunter away in how she flies in every single aspects of handling. Lacks top speed but boy do she win it back on agility!

Jets seldom sound good but this is so calming to listen to.

C22j is also good but Fouga master is the first fs2020 plane I can yet fault the handling on.

27

The Magister is like a glider with two little jet engines :slight_smile:
Nice for what it is, but just not exciting for me at all.
But zipping through the ‘Mach Loop’ at 600mph 100ft above the terrain in the Hawk T1 is another experience altogether.

28

You can do the same 20 feet above at 300 mph with the Fouga :slightly_smiling_face:

C22j is like a glider. Fouga dont do that well below 100 knots but yes probably glides better then the hawk t1 with less bulky and slimmer airframe :slight_smile:

I’m looking for something fast and fun. Which aircraft do you recommend?

30

Fast piston or jet?

31

Hi, either one is fine. Please let me know which one is worth purchasing. Thanks :pray:

Props:

  • Vans RV14 by SWS (quite fast and lively, brilliant flight modelling. Best “value for money” Payware out there really!)
  • GeeBee R3 Special by Got Friends (super overpowered stunt plane with ultra fast response to inputs)
  • Quickie Q200 by Lionheart Creations (different)
  • Maybe the Sting S4 by FS Reborn or Stream UL by LightSim. Not THAT fast (relatively) but a lot of fun. Sting feels fast on landing.
  • Velocity XL by Black Square (fast, but flies more like a sensible jet so depends what you mean by “fun”, but it does fit in the price range)

Jets:

  • Fouga Magister by AzurPoly (a fraction over 25USD I think, depending where you purchase)
  • Aermacchi MB 339 by IFE (but if you can stretch price to the Just Flight Hawk T1/A that is a super fun addon)
  • Hawker Hunter by Dave Garwood (free)
  • Any of the DC / SC designs jets are obviously fast and close to this price range. A bit more?

If you can push to afford ANY of the Flying Iron warbirds, they are all fast and really REALLY well done.

Lot of choices more than those but to be fair ones I wanted to mention are above 25 USD unless you catch them on sale.

The Camair Twin Navion is starting to come together really well with recent patches and is a bargain price.

Ah a nerd! It´s good to see you here, and I hope you have real nerdy hobbies like collecting comics and watching science and space channels.
Well I would recommend the Flysimware C414, it costs 15$ more than your price but when it´s on sale the price will maybe be 25$ and it´s the BEST plane out there if you like sophisticated study-level GA.
Sorry but I currently don´t know anything that is good and study-level enough for 20$.
