shishkabab Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 What do you think is the best freeware or payware aircraft to fly in x-plane? Please post more freeware aircraft as not many people would be willing to pay for an aircraft. Quote

hobofat Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 not many people would be willing to pay for an aircraft. That's just like your opinion man! I'm really enjoying LES' Saab 340, FlyJSim's 737-200, and Javier Rollon's Jetstream 32. 3 Quote
SwissCyul Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 I think you should remove that 777 link very rapidly from this thread... Quote
asheft Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I think you should remove that 777 link very rapidly from this thread...Wasn't it an illegal conversion from FSX? That's just like your opinion man! I'm really enjoying LES' Saab 340, FlyJSim's 737-200, and Javier Rollon's Jetstream 32. And Carenado aircraft, and the Cessna Corvalis... What do you think is the best freeware or payware aircraft to fly in x-plane? Please post more freeware aircraft as not many people would be willing to pay for an aircraft.Also the x737 and Cessna 172 Wide Panel Edited July 12, 2014 by asheft Quote
SwissCyul Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Wasn't it an illegal conversion from FSX?It wasn't illegal, but Zroman was accused for doing it so although he had the rights. The aircraft file was removed from the web and no one has permission to re-post it Quote
howardthepilot1999 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 1. Anything by awall862. Anything by shade tree micro (payware and recognised by FAA)3. Tecnam P92 by dmax3D4. Cessna 172 by Jason chandler (use it for training)5. Robinson R44 by Brett Sumpter6. Cessna 182 by Jason chandler 7. Cessna 206H by Jason Chandler8. Cessna 152 by Jacques Brault (old but accurate flight model which is more realistic than carenado)9. Anything by skycycle (freeware developer on org, good flight models)10. QPAC A320I care mostly about general aviation singles as I like to use x-plane as a training tool for real flying. Quote
howardthepilot1999 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Gliders (got my license December of last year):ASK-21 flight model mod on the org somewhere (sorry, forgot but don't use the default one. CG seems off, glide ratio too high and control geometry is incorrect. I soloed on the ASK-21)ASG-29 by windsocks Discus 2C by someone on the orgNothing else for gliders, we really need quality gliders on x-plane, I see potential for development. Quote
Vinny003 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) DC-3 with the good old fashioned 1930s style cockpit which have the analog gauges, and the mechanical sperry autopilot! And the B-17 is also my favorite aircraft as well as the DC-3! Edited July 14, 2014 by Vinny003 Quote
Nano Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 +1 on CRJ-200 JRollon Also, like the T7 Worldliner and FlyJSim 727. Quote
mmerelles Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I think there is no such best aircraft, it really depends what you would like to simulate, then what would be the best aircraft: -Boeing 777 FF for large modern jetliner, fully fmc, computerized systems, long flights-Boeing 737-200 FJS heavy old fashion manual flying, navaids, short flights-Saab 340 for turbo prop-Carenado´s for GA i like the 172, 206 a lot Skills required to flight each category properly are substantially different and complementary.

shishkabab Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Couple things about my posts: #1, My lists are in no particular order, so number 1 might be my 7th favorite aircraft. #2, It is only opinions to be presented. Not that I have seen any arguing happening, but I don't want any arguing about favorite aircraft. without further adieu, here are my top ten payware aircraft: #1 Boeing 757 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=518#2 Boeing 777 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=452#3 Bombardier Q400 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=287 #4 Boeing 727 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=434#4 (tied) Boeing 737 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=556#6 Embraer ERJ 140 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=275#7 Airbus A320neo http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=436#8 CRJ 200 http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Detail?no=292#9 SAAB 340 http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/take-command-saab-340a-p-100.html#10 Ilyushin IL-96 http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=21394 (now FREE at the .org) Edited July 15, 2014 by shishkabab Quote
eMko Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) FlyJSim 727 & Leading Edge SAAB 340 (sorry, I don't have 737 yet, so it can't be my favourite ;-) ) Then I like JRollon Jetstream, Carenado Cessna 208 and Carenado Cessna 185 Bush. These 5 are the planes which I had most fun with. Edited July 17, 2014 by eMko Quote
eMko Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) DC-3 with the good old fashioned 1930s style cockpit which have the analog gauges, and the mechanical sperry autopilot! And the B-17 is also my favorite aircraft as well as the DC-3! Yes, I also like the DC-3 and I fly it quite often. It's a pity that it does not work on grass or gravel runways - I bought it (and also the Cessna 185) for flying around Alaska where there is a plenty of unpaved runways, so it was a bit of a disappointment for me. Therefore I categorize it as "I'm glad to have them, I like to fly them, I'd definitely buy them again, but they're not my favourite" - the same category as other Carenado GA planes or Felis' An-24 or IL-14 (now freeware). And +1 for liking the steam gauges. Before I bought the SAAB 340, I was thinking if it has "too modern" avionics for me or not :-) . Now I have the same dilemma between FlyJSim 737 and IXEG 737 (not released yet). May be I should buy both of them (when the IXEG one is finished). Edited July 17, 2014 by eMko Quote
shishkabab Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Posted July 17, 2014 I do request for you to post links for each aircraft (freeware or payware) that you post. Quote
shishkabab Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I added them as hyperlinks to the text.Don't worry, you are fine. I just want more pilots to post with links so other pilots can download them. Edited July 21, 2014 by shishkabab Quote
