Pretty limited poll...

A380 or the 787?  I don't fly either.

But if I were to choose its, Boeing generally would get my vote.

The A380 model looks just simply beautiful. I love it and everytime I even look at it I still think that it looks great.

Great job by Airbus, im dieing to see one in real life. :o :o and fly on one! :-/

Never flown either, in FSX or in real life. And second, I avoid flying large cigar tubes like those in FS... ;D

A380 - though I must admit that I haven't got a 787 in my (FSX-)hangar...  :P

Bearing in mind that the flight dynamics of the 787 are only on a computer at Boeing, then as far as that aircraft is concerned it is a bit of a guess really. I tend to use the default 737.

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.

I am a Boeing fan myself. I just think flying large aircraft with a joystick is wrong. (I am talking about the real thing here) I have seen an A-380 in Australia in October two days before its maiden flight for Qantas carrying passengers and I must say it is quite an amazing feat of engineering. I am looking forward to the 787's introduction to the industry. :)

Both seem to be nice birds but they take the joy out of flying them. You don't really fly them at all...just turn some knobs and flip some switches. :-X

Seeing as there are no good models of either plane for FSX, I think this poll is kinda redundant :D

Nevertheless...

I prefer the design of the A380, but I can't stand the Airbus controls... fly-by-wire my ***  :D
