I rarely fly default aircraft, and as long as we have the capability to design our own high quality addons, I couldn't care less what aircraft MS includes with it Wink

The reason I'd like to see some new default aircraft is to have templates from which to make new 3rd party aircraft...

a "standard" four prop airliner.

a "standard" four turboprop airliner.

a "standard" VTOL (Harrier) which would imply implementation of real STOVL capability ...

a Ryan Fireball - to provide for mixed engine types... (piston prop and jet)

also, an increase in max number of SEPARATE engines allowable... Wouldn't you REALLY like to be in control of "six turning and four burning"???

The only time I fly a default a/c is the Cessna 182, and thats at KSEA. It never leaves the ground, and I use it only to switch from NAV to GPS, and to have the sim reset everything (recommendation by MS) before I choose the aircraft I want to fly, and the actual airport route I want to travel.

My life is like the movie Office Space

A Connie would do nicely...

Viscount please, or if it has to be American, then an Electra...

Anything VTOL. How about a Balzac or whatever the VTOL Mirage was called. If it has to be a Harrier, make it a Gr.3 (a proper Harrier), or the P.1127

Or a B-36, then we could have the mixed powerplant capabitlity and 10 engines!

Ah, I was writing this post as I read it - I see you'd already come up with that one!

How about a big flying boat then. Saro Princess?

Something small and nippy would be nice (Cassutt or similar), and how about a single engined military turboprop? I could think of a good one! Wink

Yes, plenty of MUCH better free stuff out there and no doubt will be even more for FSX. However, a reasonable selection of default AC is neccesary if nothing else for multiplayer games. If you don't have the AC they are flying on their PC then FS9 just puts a default AC of roughly the same size in it's place. It can be quite odd to be passed at 500kts by a Cessna 172!

So, there should be at least one of each general type. Helecopter, light prop, light jet, heavy jet, heavy prop, flying boat, miltary jet, VTOL, heavy cargo, etc.

The big advantage of having a good, varied, selection of Default aircraft included is the ability for them to appear in their correct form during on line Multiplayer flights....

This doesn't occur with 3rd party aircraft unfortunately, unless all other players have the same aircraft installed beforehand...... Cry

M$ can put whatever plane they want. They know that those defaults will just sit in our hard drives doing nothing while we conquer the FS world with addons. Roll Eyes
