I have already voted for the HPG H160, because it is on the list. But the Taog Lama would deserve to be on the list as well. I know, only 20 items possible in a poll :man_shrugging:

I know. I really wanted to put that also and anyone is welcome to count it for their vote for sure. But in the end I filled the last slot with the Fenix (even though I don’t fly that myself… how fair am I?! :slight_smile: )

The Comanche.

It’s barely in my Top 10 for favorites to fly, but that’s because I found out that I really don’t like the Comanche that much. It’s just a matter of ergonomics.

A slight digression: in late 2014 I was looking for a new car. At my price range sat the newly remodeled Mustang GT and the Camaro SS with the 1LE track package. On the track and on the road the Camaro was clearly superior to the Mustang in terms of performance. It was fun to read the Mustang fanboys’ howls of protest at the results, but the numbers didn’t lie. I test drove both, and the Camaro was special. It handled like a $70k sports car with the grunt of an American muscle car. And yet I chose the Mustang, and it wasn’t even close. Ergonomics. The view is fantastic for a “pony car,” every button and switch is where it should be, and it’s still fun enough to drive to get me in trouble if I’m not paying attention to the ever-present law around here. The Comanche is heads and shoulders above everything else I’ve flown in the sim, but I still find myself flying the Kodiak, the Cessna twins, and recently the Wilga and RV-14 a lot more. They’re just more comfortable to fly.

For GA aircraft, the Comanche has demonstrated what is possible in MSFS. Since I started flying this sim in February, I had a nagging feeling that X-Plane’s flight dynamics still felt a little more authentic among similar aircraft. The Comanche has dispelled any notion that XP is inherently better than this sim when it comes to flight dynamics. Others are catching up as well, but the Comanche is groundbreaking.

My vote is for the Justflight F-28. How that one is not on the official polls is a big miss.

Because…

Anyway your vote has counted - thank you very much …

That’s OK! We all friends here lol.

Notice the JF boys haven’t voted yet though - they are so modest :rofl:

If I had the option to fly one it would be this one! I have the SWS PC12 but the M500 is my favorite for personal use!
If A2A brings their Cessna fleet over this is subject to change :grin:

It’s a good thing you did or there might have been a riot in here. :wink: Currently sitting in 4th place overall I see so certainly deserves its entry.

Once I figured out the takeoff/landing dynamics of the SWS PC-12, it has become my favorite. I’ve been flying the heck out of that thing! #2 (though I didn’t buy it in '23 is the PMDG 737/739. Coming in at #3 is the FSW 414A. Sometimes the Asobo TBM930 can bump into the #2 or #3 spot from time to time. The Caranado 182RG is up there for farting around.

I suspect the 146 might have drawn a lot more votes if it was in there… it’s JF’s best product by a massive distance. I didn’t mention it because I thought the poll was more focussed on this year - if it isn’t then surely the #1 spot from the top 10 is the same thing anywzy.

Well, we will see won’t we. But doesn’t look that way at the moment lol (only 4% voted for the C414). If it ends up the same then that shows that it really does deserve to be and STAY there.

What did you vote for in the end anyway?

Just Flight 146 , enough complexity without overwhelming and there’s loads of liveries across multiple variants

As you know Baracus there is only one Aircraft I can vote for.
The one I, almost, exclusively fly since I bought her in the Christmas sales last year.
The Spitfire Mk XI from FI, if this model is good enough for BBMF pilots, who am I to argue.
