Your favorite?

This sort of another sappy "What's your favorite add-on aircraft question."
But, when most people answer the question they name 3 or 4 of their favorite
aircraft and the different situations they like to use them.

I suspect this question is much harder to answer:

If I came over to your house, sat down at your computer and told you I was
going to uninstall/delete every aircraft you have on your hard disk except
one, which one would you keep?

Eek! You're an evil Varmit for even asking such an unfair question!


However, if I were to play along with the question as asked, I'd have
to say that I'd want to keep my RealAir Scout, which offers both
amphibian and taildragger landing gear options.

This fine plane perfect for flying in quasi-Quilling VFR simulated
bush pilot mode, as it offers a great view from the virtual cockpit.
Even if I want to get fancy and use VOR and/or GPS navigation aids,
these are available. The VC is completely "clickable", and when
there's a good VC like this, I'll never bother with the 2D panel. I
also like the tandem seating arrangement and center stick controller.

The Scout isn't the fastest plane, but I'm a "low and slow"
sightseeing simulated bush flyer at heart, so it's perfect for me.

That said, if you ever try to take away my Super Decathlon, SF.260,
Piper Archer II, Cessna 152, Piper Meridian, Cessna 421, Spitfire, or
Cessna 177, you may come up against a bit of resistance as well!

Tough choice indeed. It's either the RealAir SF.260 or the LDS 763. I
guess if you really only let me keep one it would have to be the SF.260.

Dallas,
I like to fly low & slow, so for me it's my APM-20 Lionceau (Lion Cub).
An excellant VFR aircraft.

That's an easy one.. it's the Boeing 727..!! have spent years digging
into the FD and now the engine power and climb / descent performance
are getting awfully close.. and one can `feel' the differences such as
in amount of throttle while descending. Here's a recent test sheet
with engine cruise data compared to references.

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/flightsim/JT8D_120k.gif


and there's some new fixes in store -- where confidence is high..
for nearly exact duplication or RW. Now which variant was that?

Without being long-winded for a change, I would say my Simmer'sSky MD-11,
which is the only add-on a/c I have. I really enjoy the default Boeings so
if you put your clammy palms on those, I'd turn the Mounties on ya. : )

I should have also added that the Scout is perfect for getting in and
out of small airstrips surrounded by obstacles (trees and terrain)
and also small bodies of water. These are of concern for both
simulated and real bush pilots!

That's where Pop spent a year.. APR-44 to APR-45.

First of all, you would be at my computer for a very long time. I have
almost more than 100 a/c. Probably closer to 150.

Low and slow, actually too slow for me but if I could pick up the power a
little I wouldn't mind. The Dash 7 with all of the cockpit active. The
overhead is probably the best part of this baby. Short runways, nah not a
problemo. If you like fighting with the short take offs this baby is a
great bush plane. Only thing is there is not an amphibious version.

Dash 7 by Milton Schupe also waiting for the new addition which should have
been available by now.

Ok, Ok.... Ray Charles could have seen that coming.


My Ray Charles story:

I went to see him at a small venue in Dallas in the late 70's. I was
pissed that I got a front row, but end seat. They lowered the lights and a
spotlight turned on me. The crowd began to applaud and out of the hallway
in front of me came Ray Charles and his seeing eye man. He took two steps
and stumbled into my lap, spilled my drink and was laying across my knees
like a baby. I was speechless.

Ray gathered himself up and apologized profusely. I told him I would never
wash my lap again.

Later they brought me a new drink. If people ask me if I've ever seen Ray
Charles I say, "Hell yes, he bought a drink."

Default C172. Not very trendy, but it's the one I most enjoy flying. I
did a Trial Introductory Flight in one at a local flying school (never
went further due to cost of PPL), so that may influence my choice,
although for Quilling™ around, it suits me very well.

If you haven't tried it already, I recommend the RealAir version of
the C172. It comes as a "kit" for you to manually create a new C172,
using as a base some of the default C172 files. Flight dynamics,
graphics, and sounds are all enhanced with this version. It's free,
and you can find it here:

http://www.realairsimulations.com/

Go to the "products" page, and scroll down to the "Kangan Batman TAFE
Cessna 172".

Flight1 offers a payware C172. Varmit was kind enough to send me his
own mini-review of this plane, and it was a mixed review. He
mentioned some issues he had with panel size and visibility, but he
still likes the plane. Since I already have so many nice add-on
planes, after reading Varmit's review, I've decided to not purchase
the Flight1 plane at this time. I am, however, happy to have the
RealAir C172, which I do prefer over the default C172 (and you can't
beat the price!).
