Well, I fly a 152 in real life. :)

Soon to be a 172 actually. My instructor never asked me how much I weighed. (Too much for that poor Lycoming! :P)



For the past 10+ years, every time I load up my Flight Sim, I automatically select my trusty Cessna 150 Aerobat for a spot of gentle touring at low level.... ;)...
...unless I am in a real hurry, then its my Trusty Default Beech Baron 58 Twin... :)....!
The rest of the "stuff" in my Hangar is mostly falling apart!... ::)...!

Where else am I gonna put this?  If I stick it in any one of the FS forums, some resident folks won't see it.

Besides, who said it was sim-related? :P

Yep ,you are right :-[ and I'm sorry

,by Looking this closely Actually there is no place to set this  kind of things ,is not directly a comment to any particular version of FS , there should be a place to make comments ,or open polls that generalizes all MSFS together, I have found my self in the past with the same situation   :-/

Glad to see that I made it in at number 59!

Don't fly little buzzy planes much, I like big, noisy, smelly monsters that carry hundreds of people to wildly improbable places.

In real life I USED to fly a C172 a lot, but I've kind of ran out of money and don't have the time now that I'm a full time student. Actually, I spent the day chasing wires on a Hughes 269A Helicopter. We installed a landing light. 8-)

As for the sim, when I do fire it up, I still like my trusty old Twin Bonanza by Eric Dantes, various Piper and Cessna GA planes and once in a while a BD-5J jet. I'm still running FS9 because I don't have the money to build a new rig for FSX or the time or patience to tweek it to work with my current rig. ;)

I fly a C-150 (1966 was a very good year if you know what I mean ;)) in real life, and mostly low and slow GA's in the sim. But sometimes I fly warbirds too :-*.

Well, I'd move this, but the trouble is that there is no "generic" flight sim forum (for all sim programs), and Flight School doesn't really count...  :-?

My greater concern, as alrot points out, is that there's no "all of the above" option!  >:(
I very rarely fly the sim lately, but I've flown all types... although i lean towards vintage props, small and large.

And just to be "that way", since my RL "planes I've flown" list has increased lately... in RL I've flown:
C-150
C-152
C-172
C-140
C-140A
PA-32
PA-38
Zlin 242
Piper J-3
Aeronca 7AC
Aeronca L3
WACO UPF-7
Van's RV-4
Schweizer 2-33
