Since I’ve discovered it’s possible, in the current physics engine, to configure planes that are a) not made of polystyrene, b) don’t get blown around like a paper bag and c) don’t have the reflexes of a grasshopper, I’ve got to revise my list -
- Ant’s Tiger Moth
- Blacksquare King Air - makes it because you don’t really hand fly it & when you do it’s OK.
- JF 146
- PMDG DC-6 with the proviso they get round to fixing the autopilot again.
Things I’d like to put there but won’t
- JF Hawk & Pipers - FM in beta & needs some fixes still.
- Hype EC145, which might get in there one day when you can fly it & not argue with it.
- DA62X - good systems, but bland.
- V1 & 2 Islander mashup, because it’s a complete mashup of a FM. The Trislander is solid, but not quite as much fun.
- BR Goose, the FM has suffered but it sounds & looks so good.
- The FI warbirds who’re most of the way there, but still far too stiff to fly
- The patched Beaver, because I liked it I remember but haven’t wanted to fly it in so long I’ve forgotten.
- The Caribou, coz the model is lovely, but they half-ar**d the FM.
Everything else, out of the list. Right now there’s a lot of entries for the regrets thread, wherever that went. Yes, even the Wilga.
