Fenix A320
Leonardo Maddog, somehow feels most complete, and is a joy to fly.
Asobo ATR72, use it much more since latest update.
Inibuilds A300. Has potential.
Justflight Bae 146. I love the Jumbolino.
Justflight F28
Blackbox Sim Trislander
PMDG 737 700
FSS P2012 Traveller
Marwan Gharib HJet
Same list for me this month:
Me too. I prefer Airliners in general but this plane is a delight (as long as you prepare it with the light liveries 
on Xbox). Itās got great Navigraph and Simbrief integration too - among the best!
My hall of shame for this edition:
And my weird-forgotten-unsung gems section:
Ugh, you guys keep getting me raising my eyebrow about that fugly Winjeel, and Iām on a taildragger kick latelyā¦ And that Bugatti thatās been in my wishlist for a while, looks like something for an evening full of hold-my-beer annoying fellow MP pilots in the landing patterns.
@Baracus250, I didnāt realize youāre splitting up the PMDG 737s into different variants as the prior list lumped them together. I have both the 737 and 739, but to keep to the max 10 aircraft, Iāll just count the 737 version and remove the 739. Just wanted to make sure this was counted correctly!
Its a really nice little airplane. And the price is not bad at all.
Drum roll pleaseā¦ the moment we have been waiting for is here, as the first results of a new start are counted. Thank you to all the 42 of ya that kicked this off for the fresh start!

====== MY SUMMARY ======
This is interesting. For me it has validated that the last state of 2023 is really not so unrealistic and was a true reflection of how things still are, 1.5+ years after I started this topic. Having said that is is great to have this shuffle up and I canāt wait to see how it pans out over the next months and what new treats we may have in store to add to our Bulging Hangars!
The BB310R is still clearly very deserving of itās award. As is the Arrow series and of course the PMDG 737ās. Our runaway winner from the previous 2 Award Ceremonies still also can have no shame in the podium position so far and looks like it will still be solidly in the fight this year too.
Biggest climbers are the Avro Vulcan and the Learjet 35A.
A few new mentions of slightly older aircraft by Cutlass172 (Ceraās Mi-17 and Shavrov Sh-2), and myself actually (the Nardi Riviera).
There were 7 NEW aircraft mentioned this month, highest entry being the iniBuilds A300 in 49th place:
| Developer | Aircraft |
|---|---|
| iniBuilds | Airbus A300-600R |
| Cockspur | Embraer Phenom 100 |
| A1R Design | Shavrov Sh-2 amphibian |
| Cera Simulations | Mil Mi-17 |
| Mario Noriega | Nardi FN-333 Riviera |
| Cowan Sims | Robinson R66 |
| LatinVFR | Airbus A320neo |
Total planes mentioned now at 299! But of course, over half have no votes since the reset.
Remember to DOWNLOAD the PDF to see the rest as there are quite a few with equal votes that did not fit into the Top 25 snapshots here.
FINAL NOTE: The next Chart Update will be done on 3rd March as that is the nearest Sunday to the end of the month
Actually, they are counted separately but bundled into a single row for the table. People wanted to see which variant was most popular so at the end of the PDF you will see this:
And I take the total from that into the main table (i.e 17 now).
Highly recommend it! Feels very nice indeed 
Did they fix up that bad loop? I did not see any updates. Must try it again! It was pretty fun but didnāt really capture me. Love how it looks though!
I like anything that acts like it does plane stuff when you do pilot stuff, so the Winjee will also likely be added to my ever growing collection of āI have all the planes I needā hangar. Something tells me a near full deflection slip is something this is likely aces at. Plus itās ugly enough and named alphabetically for an impossibly perfect spot next to Wilga-COINCIDENCE!? I think NOT.
LOL good point well made!! 
Should the Wren also go there? Probably yup!!
Ah I missed it againā¦I was hoping I would manage to get a list in this month 
Next month Iāll be earlier!
Thank you for your work making these lists! Itās one of my favorite topics on here =)
Yep, missed this month, but looks like I have four more weeks to do my first Top 10 listā¦
Nice January touchpoint listing.
-I got the A2A Comanche not long after my end of 2023 rankings. Not the prettiest thing design-wise, but man oh man, what an amazing plane. Definitely in my top 3.
-Something tells me Iām going to have to get the SWS C414ā¦just keeps ranking too high for me to ignore. Love the Black Square Baron as my twin recip workhorse, but gotta try this soon.
-I bought the ATR right when it came out many months ago (was super cheap at the time), flew a single airfield pattern with it, never touched it until yesterday when I tried to do a cold/dark startup, but then got sidetracked. Guess Iāll need to get down the learning curve one of these days.
-Am I unreasonable to not be particularly interested in any G1000 planes? I far prefer the much-smaller GTN750 (I have the PMS50 premium version). Give me touch screens over spinning knobs any day. And yes, sometimes I cheat and use the top menu popout of the GTN for flight planning in a G1000 planeā¦much easier to type.
Iām guessing you must do those place change markers manually because that red one for Fenix threw me for a moment there .
Actually surprised the Fenix jumped up so much even though the long promised update has not yet arrived.
Yes sorry. Iāll fix that in the morning!!
I personally also much prefer the old school panel and GTN 750 over those glass cockpits. By the way, I donāt know if you are already aware of this feature on WT instruments that allows you to use the keyboard instead of knobs. Itās appreciable when it comes to setting the flight plan, but for the rest of the menus, you still have to deal with knobsā¦
Me too. Steam gauges plus the GTN 750 is the ultimate sim combo for me 
Iām no pilot, but IRL Iām pretty sure the G1000 would be much better though. Touchscreens are hard to use when thereās a lot of movement.
The GTN 750 is very nice but I find it a little too fancy and I doubt you will see a lot of C152:s with this setup IRL.
Iāve actually gone back to the old GNS 530. Itās surprisingly capable with everything you really need and it doesnāt feel misplaced in a 50 year old Piper like the GTN 750 does. The only thing I donāt like is that it doesnāt support airways which means you have to do a lot of twisting and turning on the rotary knobs while setting up your flight.
Well XB doesnāt have the GTN750. While Iām not a huge fan of glass cockpits, Iām pretty reserved to using G1000 aircraft, the G3000 is ābetterā, but a bit too whiz-bang for me. Personally I like flying the Steam/GNS planes the best, but wonāt kick my #1 Kodiak out of bed because of it. Iām pretty reserved to one favorite per envelope with the G1000, and the SR22 now takes up a broad swath of it, once in a while I take the Barron out for something simple. So usually SR22/Kodiak/C510(likely to become the P100 soon) are go-tos, and the rest are steam/gtn or steam only including modern and vintage, with an occasional CJ Proline kick, and modern airliners just for achievements if Iām bored.
The G3X better be in a good flight model to warrant dealing with it, itās ā ā ā ā right now. Usually reserved for the RVās using the backup HSI more than the screens. Iād love to have the GTN though, probably the best balance of tech and steam.
