Ok, Folks. I'm curious, today.

What are your favorite stock and addon aircraft from all your flight sims? ???

Long lists are certainly welcome, and I'd like to know what you all like so I can get some more ideas about what to look for, what craft to try, and what aircraft to use for any missions an' other stuff I may try to work with an' upload. Matter of fact, the first long list'll be my own.  8)

My favorite CFS1 stock craft has got to be P-51, with the FW-190 coming in at a cloas second. They're quick, agile, and they can hit hard, plus they just look good.
For the CFS1 addon craft, I've gotta say the Sud-Est 100 available on this site--its just fun to fly and looks unique. Also, the Fw-189 bomber/recon plane. Unique, again, and not bad handling.

For CFS2 stock, I've gotta say the F4U1-A Corsair, with the N1K2-J 'George' coming close behind. Again--fast, hard-hitting, and agile--plus they just look cool. I always did love to watch 'Black Sheep Squadron' on the History Channel--to see Boyington's group in their gull-winged gooney birds flying about, blasting Zeros an' the like... Always did catch my eye, those mighty wings, there...
For the addon stuff, I just can't decide. The GC He-11H6 is awesome--framerate friednly despite the awesome detail, plus it flies goods and has some killer loads. Then again, the He-177A5 available here in the CFS2 sections is nice, too. Both are always tough nuts to crak in Quick Combat. Heh. And they're entertaining to watch fall apart--or at least the He111 is. But I've also got a crush on the P-75B Eagle in the CFS1 section, which works great for me on CFS2, and the F4U1-C Corsair with the four 20mm cannons in place of the .50's, which is in the CFS2 section. Gotta love the sounds of heavy firepower.
Also, however, the B-25H and A-20 Havoc from the 1% site are quite nice. Gotta love that 75mm cannon, and the mass of .50's on both. Sheesh, I just keep ramblin' on, don't I? Well, last one--the FDG P-61A/B pack--"Jap Batty" and "Lady In The Dark." I always liked the way the P-61 looked, ever since I got a model of the night-fighter variant, sme time ago...

I don't have any good helicopters, since I can't find any for CFS2, nor do I have any non-military flight sims. I just can't have fun ferrying people around nations... Its just not my gig. 

To end it all, my CFS3 stock favs are the Me-262s--both of'em--and the Horten Ho-229, plus any and all of the other stock craft. I just have so much fun, blasting convoys and leveling airfields! I can't get enough of it! As of yet, I haven't gotten any addon stuff--but I darned well will! I'd love to have a Ju-87 Stuka with the wing-mounted cannon pods... 

If you couldn't tell already, I'm a major gun-nut. The bigger or better the guns on the planes, and the better the planes handle with those guns, the more I like'em. 

Ah! Where might I locate these Spitefires, if you don't mind my asking, here? I could use a few good ones, myself... Have searched and searched, but I can't find many decent aircraft that operated in the European Theatre of Operations... Spitfires, Messerschmitts, F-W's, or anything... Well, except that He-111 and a few other things...

Gotta say there are some great P-40s out and about--have a few, and have just downloaded a few others... May give the names for each, later on, but regardless--they'res a good selection of them, and the majority are nice, despite a few downfalls among some of the good models, such as drop tanks and such that aren't functional and are just visual models, or similar parts...

I might be biased but when you get fed up with the props you might also like to try the Fox Four Korean War campaigns from the link in my signature.

Hello, my favourite stock CFS2 plane is th Hellcat, when i think in carriers and the pacific, the plane that comes to my imagination is th hellcat. There is a lot of awesome addons for CFS2, for example Krzysztof Malinowski planes, Ivan Hsu I-16, and others, but my favourite is Akemi Mizoguchi fw190-5, in this page http://hago003.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ , with his repaints  .

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a 1% jockey myself due to the extra challenges of flying and fighting whilst maintaining correct temperatures and keeping the speed within the much narrower band of optimum performance. There only downfall is the lack of visible damage on most of the models.
The other thing I love about them is that they are designed for online play and it is a very friendly bunch that do so.

My current favourites from Avhistory are;

P38 - because it takes a lot of mastering to get it working right but when you have you can get this bomber sized beast to out turn a spit and out climb anything! The effort is high and the result is huge!

M2 zero - A low level tumbling dogfight in these is just the biggest kick.

Possibly the best looking, sounding and handling planes I have are P.H.F.Burnage's Mossies.

I'm not much for the stock planes, in fact I've only had a handful of flights in them.  As far as add-ons, my favourites are all the AvHistory F4Us.  The F4U-1D is on top, followed by the F4U-4 and -4B when I want to wreck things on the ground with more varied weapons than the -1D.  The -1 and -2 don't get much use, and the Mudpond F4U-1A is so similar to the -1D that it normally doesn't fly, but none the less, they're Corsairs, so I like them   Gramps' F4U-1A is really nice too, but I'm not too keen on the VC so I rarely take it out of the hangar.

On that note, if anyone knows of any good Corsairs (they need a good VC, since thats where I always fly from), please let me know.

The F4U Corsair.You can find all sorts of addons to increase the realism. Sound packages, panels, repaints , new prop textures, etc. Try a web search for "Neostuey's CFS2 skins" and you'll see what I mean. -  Mike

My Favorite CFS2 Planes Are The, F4U Corsair. Mostly Because Of Blacksheep Squadron I Watched That Show Everyday. Does Anybody Know If That Is Still On? My Second Favorite Is Probably The TBF Avenger. Because It's Just Awesome Looking And I Loved The Idea Of The A Turret On Any Other Plane Than A Bomber. My Favorite Add-On Is Probably Krystoff Malinowski's P-40 "17" I Just Love That Plane
