Your Current TOP 10 Aircraft

@RagingWombat839

I’ve no idea if or what you counted for me last month but I just want to vote for everything by Fenix.

I have no idea now to be honest. See this post and the last para (which I think you never replied to). Can you confirm? I will try and sort it out from there!

Your Current TOP 10 Aircraft

Hey bud. You have 1 slot free if you want to use it on our new 2025 start FYI - here is your list as it’s backtracking quite far to find it now with your constant “no changes this month” statements haha Fenix A320 Fenix A319 / A321 (expansion) Cowan Robinson R22 HPG H145 Cirrus Vision Jet A2A Piper Comanche FlyingIron Spitfire Kodiak BN Trislander You want the Chinook? Which one if so? EDIT: Actually, maybe I got confused with your recent “Fenix everything” post and …

Well, I have no addons at all, but my most flown aircraft in 2024 so far, based on my LittleNavMap logbook are:

Interesting. Quite a bit of overlap, but also quite some differences. Are you suggesting one of these tables for your votes or are you going to pick your favourites by your own criteria?

[SmotheryVase665]

Added a list of personal preference (favorites)

EDIT: Actually, maybe I got confused with your recent “Fenix everything” post and the one after that. Can you just give me an actual list and I will adjust what I have entered (above) as I think I needed to delete the R22 according to this? Your Current TOP 10 Aircraft - #8744 by RagingWombat839

I missed that in December… oh well. Don’t confuse me

So my entire list for FS24 is:

• Fenix A319
• Fenix A320
• Fenix A321

While the others were great in FS20, I no longer have that sim and I’ve had various issues in FS24 with most of the planes I’ve tried (some issues are sim, not plane issues, such as having to turn the graphics settings down so much that I no longer enjoy the scenic flights) so at this time I’m not using any of the others.

Blackbird have put their T6 ADV back on the market. I was going to get this at release, but there seemed to be so many bugs I didn’t fancy shelling out quite a bit of money on something that would just frustrate. Anybody have any comments on what it’s like now?

Just took the latest version for a spin and although I didn’t go deep into systems I would say it’s pretty well sorted now.

Didn’t see any of the annoying bugs that were there before, and the worst part for me was how it landed but that seems much improved now and you can hold the nose wheel off from slamming down.

Sounds great, looks great, feels very nice, fluid and predictable but lively in the air.

[Ariana2022UK]

Instead of a top ten it’s probably easier if you just list the planes you DON’T have

[EnjonUK]

Excellent, thanks for the info, looks like another purchase then. I’ve only seen it available on their website, do no other vendors offer it?

[Baracus250]

I don’t think it is for sale anywhere else currently, nope.

[Baracus250]

@Ariana2022UK

just list the planes you DON’T have

Actually, that could make for an interesting side-topic!

“The 10 Aircraft you NEARLY bought, or keep THINKING about getting, but have not yet [for reasons].”

Can we persuade each other to go for it?!

Here are mine:

1. AzurPoly - C160 Transall: I am sure it’s great, but I just don’t think I would fly it often enough as I prefer smaller craft.
2. PMDG - Boeing 737-600: See above.
3. Taog’s - Alouette III: Just don’t like the way it looks… and I have enough choppers!
4. IndiaFoxtEcho - Tornado: Waiting to see what Just Flight’s one will be like first.
5. AzurPoly - Bronco: Been close to getting this a few times but again I just don’t see myself flying it often enough. The freeware one is pretty great too.
6. F7 Simulations - Eagle S100: Very tempted by this but I don’t do pure aerobatic flying that much.
7. Cowan - Robinson R22: Heard very good things about it, and I like the size, and having spent a lot of time in the R66 I am tempted. If a sound pack comes out for it like the one for the R66, I won’t be able to resist!
8. FlightSim Studio - SeaRey Elite: Tempted by the uniqueness of it, but also don’t trust that the quality will be there from what I have read.
9. Lionheart Creations - LearFan 2200: It looks pretty cool but now the Avanti has arrived, and the Aerostar by A2A coming soon, and I have the Learjet by FSW, I think it’s too late to add this.
10. BRSim - Erco Ercoupe: Like the look of it, but it’s prertty old now and probably not going to be supported in 2024?
11. AzurPoly - Bede BD-5J microjet: The quirk should make me want it, but something holds me back!
12. Ysim - SubSonex JSX-2: See above.
13. Carenado - Cessna 170b / Archer II / Bonanza V35 V-Tail: I know they are well regarded as the better (best?) Carenado offerings, but I just have SO MANY similar planes.
14. Cockspur - C510 Mustang: Prefer this to the idea of the Honda Jet, but I don’t fly these types enough. Barely even touch the Learjet. The Avanti is AWESOME though (I know not a jet, but it IS very very fast anyway).
15. HCG - Spartan 7W Executive: Love the classic styling and it does certainly look interesting, and not too much overlap with my other stuff but… I dunno why I didn’t get it.
16. …I could go on!

…see Ariana, there are LOADS I don’t own!!

Prefer the AH c140 to Carenado’s c170 and do not own the Archer.

The V Tail Bonanza though is actually pretty spot on and worth having.

No change to my list this month Dude, I’m still flying MS Spitfire simulator 2020, I’ll start using 2024 more when it becomes a Spitfire simulator too

[Ariana2022UK]

I know you are not a fan but I would definitely have at least 1 airliner in your collection either PMDG or Fenix (and not forgetting inbuilds A350 is out tomorrow). You love flying and systems so……

Regarding private jet I would definitely wait for Rauls Phenom or Flight FXs C750. (Or both actually, let’s be honest).

I only have 1 plane on your list- the Bronco and yes, hardly use it (although it is a good aircraft and I will just buy anything from Azurpoly).

[AboardFaun59134]

Indiafoxtecho Tornado is very very good, I can’t fault it, it has to be in the top 3 of fighter aircraft with Heatblur F14 and the updated Hawk.
Very disappointed with the Searey, I so wanted this to be good - ‘Voyage of the Southern Sun’ is an excellent book detailing Mike Smith’s round the world trip in the Searey, so I really wanted to replicate at least some of that. Flying it back to back with the Nardi….no comparison at all in my opinion. The Nardi rocks!

[Ariana2022UK]

Regarding mine, I definitely would have got the Piaggio a year ago but I’ve built up so many aircraft now that I’m getting so picky about what I get next and the Duke and King Air kind of already fill that gap (plus I’m not a big fan of Collins avionics) and the fact it’s msfs2020.

The ifly 737 I want but am waiting to see who makes their aircraft 2024 compatible first out of ifly & PMDG before deciding.

I have constantly been close to clicking buy on the Flysimware Sierra C24 and SWS PC12 but have always left it as neither have failures or wear & tear and I really feel at this price point now these things should be standard. And now the 2024 default SR22 & PC12 have filled that gap for me without having to spend any extra money anyway.

I’d agree with that, although I don’t use the F14 as much since the Tornado came out. Very different I know, but there’s so only so many hours in a day!

[Baracus250]

@Ariana2022UK

The ifly 737

I thought you said the “iffy” 737 there hahah.

The Avanti works just fine in 2024 now it’s come across via a purchase in the 2020 marketplace, by the way

[greazr]

Pmdg 737-800
IFly 737 Max
BS Starship
Bluebird 757
BS Baron
CSS 737
BS TBM 850
Ini 310
DA62X with mod
BS Duke
Honda Jet

@Baracus250

Waiting to see what Just Flight’s one will be like first.

Curious decision by Just Flight to pursue the Tornado given how good the IFE version is.
Another similar curious decision is Blackbirds pursuit of the very good Huey from Taog.
…however, back to considering if I can formulate a top 10.

[Baracus250]

Hi Greazr,
Thanks for your first votes here. A few things though.

1. This is only for currently released products, so I have excluded these for now:

• BS Starship
• Bluebird 757
• CSS 737

2. I need to know if you mean the Turbine or Piston/Grand Duke?

3. You had 11 on your list, but max is 10.

So as I have removed those three, you still have 2 slots if you want to use them.

Thanks!
