What We Wish: Default Aircraft

[drbob777]

[quote][quote][quote]Travis,
by the realism standards, well i only fly the C172 in real life so i cant judge any of the other aircraft, but the C172 in the flight sim didnt have the feel of the real one, like the speed and the effects (e.x: flaps dont have real effect in the sim)

This subject sounded like a job for an Idealist, which I proudly profess to be. By it's very title, FLIGHT should cover a very wide range of experiences, however I wouldn't be surprised if it was NOT released with very many default AC as MS plans to release more in time. It wouldn't shock me if it was like 5-10.

That being said, here are the aircraft FLIGHT experiences I hope they will (at least, in time) cover:

Hot Air Balloons / Blimps
Sailplanes / Hang Gliders
Ultralights
Most-popular and Prolific GA (Cessnas, Pipers, Beechcraft... etc)
Bushplanes / STOL / Amphibians
Turbo-props
Business Jets
Airliners
Fighter Jets
Helicoptors / VTOL
Spacecraft
Aerobatic Aircraft
Vintage / Classic / Historical Aircaft (DC-3 & Connie, WW2 Fighters... etc)

SO, if default was only say, FIVE... here's my votes!

Boeing Stearman ( check  8-) )
Beech V35B Bonanza (V-tail)
DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver (wheels/skis/floats/amphibian/turbo)
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Bell 206 JetRanger

These would keep me happy for my first few weeks of FLIGHT. I can't wait! 

[smiley=beer.gif] Cheers!

I can guarantee you that they would never put a spacecraft in Microsoft Flight.  Would be great if they did!

I wouldn't be overly surprised if the had a Space Shuttle.  But I doubt we see any Sci Fi spacecraft, unless the M$ Add-On Approval Gods allow them as third party add-ons.

I would like to see the dhc-5?

[Slotback]

I figure we need a wide-range of aircraft to suit almost anyone. Not too many, as we need quality rather than quantity.

Airbus A380 <-- must have, good marketing point, worlds biggest airliner
Boeing 787-8 <-- must have, good marketing point, boeings newest all-new aircraft
Boeing 737-700/800 <-- 737 is worlds best selling modern airliner. everyone has been on one
Boeing C-17 or Airbus A400M or C-130J <-- military aircraft for exciting airlift missions
Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 <-- kill the CRJ-700 and King Air with one stone with state-of-the-art turboprop
Bombardier Learjet 85 or newer Cessna Citation <-- a change from the Learjet 45, business jet
DHC-2 Beaver float-plane with wheels <-- vintage, radial, float-plane
Cessna 172 <-- good learning aircraft that everyone has been on
Cessna 400 or an old mooney<-- good high performance aircraft.
Edge 540 <-- one of worlds best aerobatic aircraft
DG 808S sailplane <-- one of worlds best sailplanes
R-66,e <-- prominent helo... kill R-22 and bell with one stone
DC-3 <-- it's a DC-3... nuff said
Boeing Stearman <-- biplane
a VLJ (Very Light Jet)
port / update FSX F/A-18 into it <-- it has a nice 3d model / VC + need a military aircraft
port / update FSX Grumman goose <-- it has a nice 3d model / VC + it's vintage radial float-plane

kill the ultralight, not many people flew it.

How 'bout one a these... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1-Fo7uQ ... re=related

[Moach]

my vote is:

keep the fleet from FSX - add a tilt-rotor

having a proper tilt-rotor would require the addition of thrust vectoring - which is a must-have by now...

and add some form of generic FMC for heavy jets and alike... it doesn't make much sense to use a G/A GPS in the cockpit of a 737  :-?


...and fix the starboard aileron in the Maule VC - it's inverted in FSX

I fly the ultralight from time to time even though I'm a great virtual pilot that can fly just about anything in the sim.  The ultralight lets you sit back and enjoy the scenery and not make you focus on actually flying it.
