What's your favorite plane?

Favorite plane in existence? Mine has to be the A-10c.

Who doesnt love that much firepower.

That's a tough one. If I had to choose just one it would be the C-130 and it's variants.

Attack: A-6 Intruder
Helicopter: Mi-24 Hind
Observation: OV-10 Bronco

I also love the A-1 Skyraider. There used to be one that flew in and out of Chattanooga when I was younger. It's livery was Vietnam SAR Nakhon Phanom Thailand. I can see why downed crewmen said that was the sweetest sound they ever heard, a Sandy passing overhead.

No need to remember when you can use the search function.

To be fair, is not the best search function! It fact most of the time it's wholeheartedly disappointing, to me at least.

My fave? Sooooooo many to choose, flying - Vulcan, hopefully flying soon - EE Lightning, in-service - give me a while!

Yeah, it's not very good. Which is why I use google: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Asubsim.c...favorite+plane

But that thread is hard to distinguish (don't hate me, I've only skimmed the first page ) if it's aircraft on a PC, or RL.

For PC then for me it has to be JustFlight's Vulcan for FS9. I have become quite attached to the 109 in CloD though, the biggest let-down apart from the pilot is the ground-loop-ability, toughen the wings and stick proper gear on it and it'd be wonderful.

I found a rather nice F-15E for FS9. This website should have a downloads section. I have a few good ones for FS9 that I can credit the author and upload. I really like my F-15, F-16, F-14, Bf-109E, Huey, BlackHawk, etc... Beautiful Virtual Cockpits.

I'm looking forward to when Accusim get around to doing their F-4 Phantom. I know they did sound recordings a while back, but if it's anything like their other releases...mmmm....

I have an ok F-4. No virtual cockpit. I might look up this Accusim version. SkyUnlimited did a beautiful Bf-109E package.

Edit: HOLY CRAP! Who pays 20$ for one plane for FS9! Forget this Accusim F-4. I'll enjoy my free one. Accusim is expensive!

$20 is just for the Accu-sim addon, the full package is probably more like $40-50, and it's for FSX alone, FS9 just can't handle it sadly.

But it's worth every single cent.

Let me give you an idea of what you get:







There is also PMDG which look a LOT of fun in terms of button pushing realism. Skybird swears by them, and they are on my list of aircraft to have a look at. But Accusim is a lot of fun.
