I find it ironic that when FS9 first came out, we all hated the default planes. Now we love them again, including me, as the Mooney is the only plane I fly.

Great shots, too Cobra. Welcome to SimV.

Very nice, and refreshing to look at too - almost nothing in my sim environment is default, great to be reminded what it looks like... and it's not bad at all! The Cub and DC3 are my favourite default planes...

Nice shots!
The default J3 Cub is a wonderful aeroplane.

We all did?
Ahem! Speak for yourself! I've always loved the default aircraft, they are more well made than most freeware and quite a bit of payware!

I have about as many add-on AC as most.
However, some of my favorites are still the default J-3 Cub, DC-3,

Yes, i'll admit it, some of the defaults are pretty good. The DC3 is the best, IMHO, get a half decent repaint and the model is fine. The good old 737's not bad either with it's very clear panel. Good for teaching IFR with. My favorite default though is the Beech 58.
However, one really anoys me. The default 777 is shocking! Get a good one like the Meljet and park it next to a default and you'd think they weren't even the same plane!

The DC-3 is the best default plane EVER included in an FS game. I fly it more than most addons (that will change tomorrow when I should get my MAAM DC-3)

Two things about the Default Cub...
Don't forget to get the Piper Kitten repaints (the red one is cool too)!
Also, someone put out some re-worked dynamics that helps the planes fly quite a bit better!
