Favorite Airliner

[Donnie111]

According to my previous poll most of the people here liked airliners the most, so here is an extended question. My favourite is Boeing BTW (737).

Donnie;

Do you work for the CIA, or are you a spy
for M$??

Oh, I don't like Bigguns, I like GA planes!!

Thankyou!

I'm with X; I don'really care for big iron in FS, but if I had to pick I'd say Boeing.

[MattNW]

I have to pick: None of the above

I usually fly the smaller planes but when I do go bigger I like either the Conviar or the Constellation. I also sometimes get in some time on the Falcon business jet.

I like the Boeing 747 (good stunt plane), but I love the BIG Antonovs. They are great stunt planes

Well, being in the VA world, I've gotta say that I'm not big on the GA planes.  I'll take 'em up for trainers once in a while, but the majority of my time is spent in the 737.

As for real world aviation, I'm a die-hard DC-10, 727, 777 fan.  Very nice airplanes.

And I agree with Ozzy, the 747 is a killer stunt plane.

If you're talking about FS airlieners it depends...for me it all comes down to the quality of the plane/cockpit and its handling abilities of course
Even though I'm a  die-hard b737 fan, I'd appreciate a genuine crafted Airbus or a prop, for that matter if the 737model was poor.

And the planes (airliners) must have a fully working FMC  and EFIS etc, not just the GPS...still can't figure out why FS insists on excluding FMC's on the default Boeings. I mean MS can just buy a published version of the FMC program and insert in those Boeings in the simulator  :-[

So basically, I really can't give you a definite answer, but PMDG's 737 is quite up there on my fave list  :)

[Scottler]

For once I agree with Nexus....M$ definitely needs to toss an FMC into the pit in future editions.  They try as hard as they do to ensure semi-realism, yet they leave one of the most significant pieces of flight deck equipment out of the program...go figure.

I like the A320, small and nice to fly. Of course, the big 747s, 757s, 767s, and 777s are nice to fly too. I've also been playing around a lot with the Bombardier CRJ200. You put de Havilland on your list but it should be Bombardier. de Havilland (Canada) was bought out Bombardier Areospace. de Havilland still operates under its original name at Downsview Park in Toronto. I believe they are also the third largest Western aircraft manufacturer, most profit comming from the Dash-8 turboprop airliner, Learjet, CRJ200, and DHC-6 twin turboprop bush plane. They also invented the Snowmobile ("Ski-doo", their first product) and the Jetski ("Sea-doo") and they manufacture Amtrak's famous Accela electric train.

Litlte plane pilot right here. My VA flies heavies too, but they have the CRJ and F-100 which is about as big as I would go. My all time favorite is JS-41 though. I like GA too!

M$ is definitely more focused on the quality and accuracy of their GA aircraft.

It's sad, really.  I just don't get the same rush watching a 172 take off as I do when I see a 747 launch...

I don't know if I'm right, but a Constellation is made by Lockheed isn't it?

[MattNW]

Oops, I either didn't see it on the list or was thinking jets and not props. You're right. I guess I vote for Lockheed vintage planes.
