Thank you. Will definitely go check it out. Sounds like it could have been part of the Top Gun expansion!

Thanks very much for creating this. I’ll download and give it a try.

Is the P2F from fƩnix actually happening?

I’ll see if I can find the route a pilot told me. It basically went something like this;
Lift from either RAF Valley [EGOV] or Llanbedr [EGOD] and head south to Barmouth. Turn left and follow the river to Dolgellau, then follow the A470 to Cross Foxes Inn. At Cross Foxes Inn, join and follow the A487, turning left at Minffordd and heading through the twisties to Machynlleth, turn left again and follow the A470. Continue following the A470 till you get back to Cross Foxes Inn. When you have finished your lap, continue over Minffordd and down over the reservoir at Tal-Y-Llyn until you reach the sea at Tal-y-bont, the turn right and recover to either Llanbedr or Valley..
Or just follow THIS flight plan, by RGolbourn,which also covers the North end of LFA 7.. :sunglasses: :+1:

Thank you. Will check this out. Flight plan is probably best option for me not being familiar with the area.

So hard to only pick 5. So I’m going to categorise them:

GA Flying:
Cessna 414
Kodiak
Piper Turbo Arrow
Mooney
Gee Bee R3

Military
Mk9 Spit
T1 Hawk
F-14
F-35
P-38

Airliners
Fenix A320
PMDG 737
BAe 146
DC-6
MD-80

Thanks for that! Nice choices for sure. Buuutt… if you really had to pick the 5 you’d have for ever on a desert island (with good internet access and power supply of course)… which 5 would you take?

Making it so difficult lol

Ok, I’ll go with:

Cessna 414 (FlySimWare)
Mk9 Spitfire (Flying Iron)
Airbus A320 (Fenix)
T1 Hawk (Just Flight)
Boeing 737-700 (PMDG)

And probably not in that order. Which one I would fly would depend on the mood, but I feel there is a good mix there to cover all eventualities. The only thing I might swap, would be the 737 for the Kodiak. It’s hard to know if I’d want 2 airliners and 1 GA, or 1 airliner and 2 GA.

Sneaky release of the Honda biz jet. Only on MS marketplace? Wonder if there’ll be any takers from our little group here?

Appreciate your efforts. Fun, huh?! I’ll give each 3pts as you don’t have a preferred order. Thanks!

What a difference 2 months make. I expect my list to change again in a few months (Xbox only at this point but will be getting a PC). Old List:
1. Caproni C22
2. FlyingIron P38-T
3. Beechcraft Staggerwing
4. Blackbox BN-2 Islander
5. GotFriends Optica

NEW LIST:

  1. HJET HA420 - This has some ground-breaking new features for xbox users and I don’t normally fly biz jets. Might be the effect of ā€œshiny new toyā€ but I want to get this on the list.
  2. MB-339 - Only recently starting on these types of jets. I love the old school cockpit (no computers!), lots of fun and I prefer to the more modern jets like F-18
  3. Grumman Goose - Just wish there were more sea ports to land.
  4. FlyingIrons Spitfire - A real challenge to take-off but very rewarding.
  5. JMB VL-3. This might be replaced by Sting S4 when that is available for xbox, but I discovered this stock ultra-light recently and love it.

Thanks for the list :wink:
Ami right that this is the proper full name and developer of the Honda?

Anyone know if the Honda jet is a custom model and not a re use of the Cessna Citation model? Because I was looking at that Embraer Phenom and didn’t pick it up because the Phenom re used the Cessna Citation model

Article on it here:

Completely custom. The dev has worked on this for 2-3 years.

It’s cool to see the VL-3 get some love. While it’s mostly been replaced for me by the RV-14 I still break it out pretty often. One of the best planes if I just want to get up and go explore when I’ve got a free 10 or 15 minutes

Ok I’ll have to try it

Fascinating list!
I am torn between the DC-6 and the 146 for my first four-engine aircraft. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the two. (You can always pm me if you would rather not voice your thoughts out to the world lol)
