Ummm I don't really care. ::)

There is so much great freeware out there that are better than the stuff M$ makes for the sim. I'd be fine if they spent more time on more realistic physics and maybe some more accurate scenery in the smaller cities.

By the way, what is the Boeing 797?

I think the Airbus A320 is a 1st priority as it is the main competitor against the well defended B737. So if the MSFS team selects the planes according to their history and worldwide coverage they should really show the Airbus some respect and put the A320 in the game!  :P

But anyway, just like BenMK said, it just doesn't matter coz you'll find all the plane models in a matter of weeks after FS release, with much higher detail and way better & realistic physics, and for FREE!  :o

I doubt we'll see any Airbus in the next edition of MSFS...

I have to choose "None of the above". There's already oodles of big jet airliners available as freeware and most much better than Microsoft ever made a default airplane. What I'd like to see is more GA stuff and small to medium utility and private stuff. Maybe they could go a little larger and include more in the line of business jets and props too.

I know it's more a matter of personal preference but it seems that there is always more emphasis put on huge jet airliners. I guess they may seem more "sexy" but in my opinion they don't offer the challenge that flying the smaller airplanes do.

I have to agree, there probably won't be any Airbus'. Boeing don't like competition and it'll be one way to get back at 'em. Personally, I'd like to see Microsoft pare the aircraft down to a few G/A 'planes and leave the rest to the add ons. Maybe they could include more and better tools and spend time on other areas of the world too.

Me too! That reminds me, someone REALLY needs to make one of those for FS9, it would be so simple!

I didnt see a "NONE OF THE ABOVE" option, but that is what I vote......As some of the others have stated there is so much freeware that is gonna be better than anything M$ puts on there anyway....it would be fine with me if there were no default aircraft, make it BYOA....Bring Your Own Airplanes.......LMAO  ;D :o

I wouldn't expect the 787 to be in msfs for a while... It's still a paper plane, the design isn't even frozen yet. The final product could look way different than the artist's rendition. ;)

Hope to see some Airbuses. But looks doubtful to me.

If they wanted to introduce Airbus into MFS they could have done it a long time ago. So i'm guessing there won't be any Airbuses even in the next edition of MFS.

All or most of these would be good...but what would be really cool is if they made them to the same standard or better than any PAYWARE you can buy...."NO CHANCE" I hear somebody cry?..commoner ;D
