Looking for good payware planes for IFR flights.

Postby nn042 » Fri Nov 16, 2012 5:00 pm

I love to fly IFR and just sit and watch the scenery go by but I also love to see my instruments/buttons/guages clearly. Ive looked at PMDG but Im kind of tired of the large jetliners and the like, can anyone recommend some good aircraft, large or small, with clear virtual cockpits? Nothing bigger then a 737 please. Thanks for looking!

The PMDG JS41 is nice, haven't flown it much lately myself but it's a great plane. Too bad it doesn't look like PMDG is going to do more small birds.

My favorite for flying IFR is the captain sim C-130. With no moving map, it really helps improve your VOR to VOR skills.

Anything PMDG, but you have to have the witt to learn it... or you crash and die :)

You said your tired with big large jet liners so PMDG isn't really what you're after.

Personally I would recommend something by Carenado maybe the C340 or the new B200 kingair. These aircraft give you all the NAV gear you need for full IFR but allow you to fly low and slow to take in the scenery.

What is your problem? Every post I make you undermine it.
nn042 clearly said he had looked at PMDG and wasn't interested also the J41 is big compared to anything I mentioned the J41 is a commercial airliner even if it is a turbo prop and smaller. It's not in the same league as something like a Cessna C340.

We get it, PMDG are good probably the best but it's not the be all and end all of flight simulation.
I ranked up 200hours plus at UKfly virtual airways a while ago before I retired because I got bored of it. There's so much more to flight sim than starting up your PMDG NGX setting up the FMC lining up pressing TOGA and engaging the NAV computer.

Same goes with the 747 I've literally just took off in the 747 from Perth to Wellington (I'll be posting shots in a min) I flew until I left the SID and engaged the NAV computer I'll now do absolutely nothing for 5 hours apart from make sure it hasn't crashed.

Late suggestion, and new aircraft, but I find the new A2A Civilian P-51D with Accusim an excellent IFR platform and probably the most enjoyable aircraft I have flown in a long time.
Cheers,
