Hey all,
just a thought: what with FSX being relaesd sometime in the forseeable future, what aircraft would we like to see as default?

A fe wof mine would be:

De Havilland Twin Otter
De Havilland Beaver
Boeing Stearman
Airbus A320
Boeing 757
Harrier GR7

So, lets see what you guys would like!

What? the thousands of freeware and payware a/c provided by 3rd party developers not good enough for you?  ;)

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

What he said!

I dont really care, as long as it is suitable and high quality that would fit up to the price we are paying for  ;D

Than i'm happy  ;)

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.

a "standard" four prop airliner.

A Connie would do nicely...

a "standard" four turboprop airliner.

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

[quote]a "standard" VTOL (Harrier)

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...... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul... ...!

Avsim has several screenshots (not posted here at simv) that show some different aircraft.
And fsinsider has another dozen or so  ;D

(wealthysoup---> trawling fs websites trying to find screenshots of fsx)

The screenshots show: Cessna, Bell, Goose, Beaver, Maule, a Schleicher glider, and Boeing 747.  IM sure that there are a lot more

Where did you see screenshots of a beaver and a maule in FSX?

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.

I just can't wait to see what Moach comes up with!
