Well, lately I'm on a single prop plane streak, still I'm quite eclectic and the plane I'm flying now, in a matter of days could be put aside. The top 3 planes I like at the moment are:

1) Surely Carter
There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

At the moment mourning the assassination of sarcasm and irony for the good of the "higher".

My favorites are:

1. Aerosoft Piper Super Cub with tundra tyres
2. Flight 1 Cessna 172
3. Flight 1 Cessna 152
4. Carenado Bonanza V-tail
5. Carenado Cessna 182RG
6. Aerosoft Beechcraft D18S

That's the payware section. For freeware I prefer to use:

6: Default Mooney (slightly tweaked the engine)
7: Baron 58 (turbonormalized version)
8: Cessna 172 (in Avalon livery)

That's about it.

Crash ;)

Try any of the ones I recommended earlier, I swear you'll all be pleased. Especially the ,,,ahem  ;),,more mature British fliers who'll recognise the Trident , BAC 1-11, DH106 Comet and the Vickers VC-10.

2 of them have multi-functunal virtual cockpits too. http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/default.htm

They're free, and there's also videos available to see them in action before downloading them.  :)

I love to fly the Kittyhawk 737-200 in Janet livery (picture of real aircraft in my signature).

Ok, can you please show me the 2 files you used for the Original aircraft and the texture. I have tried everyone I can find but nothing works. I have wanted to have this plane for a long time so I really appreciate it. 8-)

There used to be a repaint for the Kittyhawk 737-200 but it doesn't seem to be available now. (Spooky!) There's one here (http://www.fsdome.com/best/best_32.htm) about a third the way down the page, but I have no idea what it's like, or even what the site is like. Cave emptor (except you're not buying anything!)

I saw one on an "un named site" that said Kittywawk 737-200, but then in the decription said FFX/SGA... So which one do I use haha? :-/

If its Jets, real ac, then I'd have to go with the XB-70.  Big and hauls........I mean goes REAL fast.  In the imaginary world, I'd have to go with Stratojet's Chronos or Excalibur.  As far as props go, I've always had a thing for the DC-3.

FlyinSolo,

I think that the Kittyhawk 737-200 is Erick Cantu's newer version while the FFX/SGA is his older model. Both are good but the textures are probably not interchangeable, so make sure you get the right texture for the right plane. If you have downloaded a zip containing a model and texture, then the probability is that it will work as downloaded.

I finally got it to work, I downloaded a package with the texture and model. With a little tweaking and help from some other members we got it sorted out.

Got a new one since I learned that my next flight (in real life!!) will be from Frankfurt(Main)(EDDF) to Los Angeles (KLAX) in a 747-400 of Lufthansa. ;D ;D ;D

Now I'm training my skills in ILS-Landings, general flights and the common knowledge about the 747.

PoSky 747-400 Lufthansa. The FDE's became much better than the old ones. :D

I'll stay 10 days in LA.
