Budd mentioned the 707... this would have been a good addition for FS9 itself, since it's called "a century of flight"...

i'd like to see some classic airliners ::)....

oh well... if they don't do it, then i might  ;)

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. ::)


You couldn't have put in any better words. The default aircrafts only serve one purpose. To be spare parts that third party developers don't produce. Notice how most addons use default aircraft panel and sounds files. Some even use default aircraft cfg and airfiles.

The only default plane I liked in FS9 is the Learjet.
Its only in your mind, strong mind, strong soul and nobody can take that from you!

I think if you read through this thread, you will see that there are people who use and like the default aircraft. I for one am a big user of the default DC3, even though my aircraft folder is running at about 4 Gig

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

...how about some heavies that are complete, without all the extra textures? Mebbe a 737, 747, DC-9, a good Beechjet or similar? The twin props are fun to fly, but are too slow. God, who sits at their computer for several hours flying from New York to fly-over country?
PS Many, many thanks to the add-on designers for their contributions...

I personally would like to see a nicely detailed Military aircraft model, I'm not a fan of civi airliners. I know they won't though since it wouldn't be the most poplar move.

Well, I've sat at the controls of my Howard 500 in excess of 5 hours nonstop before, on 1X speed :o ;)

I obviously have too much spare time :D

I see that nobody has suggested the one aircraft that I wish would be included: The old "straight-tail" 172, like the heap I fly around in. I guess it would be too much to ask, since to reproduce mine in FSX, you'd have to show the parts falling off of it in mid-flight....  ;D

Seriously though, I'd like to see more helis such as the Hughes 500D, and MD/Hughes 500E, and some of the bigger helis.

I've done several 10+ hour flights, all real time, at the computer ;)

So far, my longest flight has been 15.7 hours, all real time, at the computer. I flew from Seattle to Midway Island.  Over 15 hours of flying over the ocean. That was a LONG flight.

I also don't know why the 707 was not in FS9 'Century of Flight'

Man, I'd like to see an exceptionally thorough model of the C-141A or B, a Beech 18, and an F-111A in 474th Fighter Wing markings. Oh well, maybe someone will do good third party models...

Amen to the 7E7. I'm supprised that payware designers haven't attacked that one yet.
