The first aircraft I want to check is the DC3. I’ve missed it so much in this sim. But I don’t know where start the flight. Maybe Meigs? Anchorage? Villavicencio in Colombia?
I think it could be a good a idea if we share our aircraft/airport combos for discovering the new planes and locations.
It’ll likely be the Beaver. It’s the only small plane I’ve ever flown in, got to sit in the right seat, and got to hold the yoke and control it a bit in flight. This was back when I was about 14 years old (many, many, many moons ago). I never forgot that experience. In reality, I didn’t really do much “flying” as I was holding controls in level flight. Regardless, that left me marked forever, and it’s left a special place in my heart for the Beaver. I’ve been a big fan of Beaver since.
A310 for sure, from EGFF to EGCC. I just completed that flight on the FBW A320 learning now to fly that aircraft. It will allow me to relax a bit since I kinda know the route with learning the A310. Least thats what I keep telling myself lol
I guess with helis on xbox, the upgrade to V1 pedals and the new flight stick are in order. I’ll try my hotas/pedals but may be a bit sloppy. Now they need a collective
that clamps onto the center post of an office chair…
Definitely interested in the helis, the gliders, DC3 and the Beaver, although the new Flotiak may not make it as interesting an ad on as I thought it would be. Will fly the Wright Flyer and the Ryan as well, not too much interest in the Airbus or Goose. I’ve never really enjoyed anything above a twin TP commuter and the occasional bizjet.
ETA: oh and the Jenny! Love me some bipes.
Think the DC3 will be my new hero of the pack though, if they’ve tamed a taildragger enough to feel like one and not some weird taildragger ‘game’ you have to play.
Definitely the DC-3, I am really hoping its good, doesn’t need to be completely study level, but just good enough. I’ve been really looking forward to it.
That’s exactly what I did! Had a few hops in the Wright Flyer. Managed to make it to the end of the runway before I had to land pretty sharpish due to trees. Then loaded up the Jenny for a fly about and quite enjoyed it. Had a brief stint in the Spirit as well but then I started getting the connection error popups so giving it a rest for now.
