I've changed my mind, would have to be the Bonanza now that I finally found the time to start flying her.

Without a doubt it's gotta be the Bonanza V35B

Comanche makes sense I think, its iconic, we have one and its enjoyed by just about everyone as its character classic GA + fast. 8)

Well, if I had to pick just one, I suppose it would be the Comanche. But honestly, no matter which one you pick can you really go wrong?

AT-6. A great advanced trainer. It makes you work! (Quickly followed by all the others).

My choice would be either the C-172, C-182 or Comanche.

Thankfully I'm rejoining the hobbie at an exciting time, have some disposable income for a new PC and the desire to see the world in the new sim!

I've started a blog (locally at the moment) to follow my adventures in re-learning to fly in the sim; it's amazing how quickly you loose the skills! Followed by planning a round the world trip in hopefully an A2A product! Learning how to record youtube videos, edit etc. at the moment so people can follow my journey.

The scenery is amazing and the plan will be to just go where there are cool places to visit, vaguely with a view to work my way around at some point. The rules: start at the last landed spot, online if possible, with real weather, being as close to 'real' flying as possible. Can't wait to see how a persitent A2A aircraft fares! I'm following some real world pilots on youtube and their videos are pretty inspiring and what better way than to do it in the sim.

I rekon the Comanche probably has the best legs in regard speed and comfort perhaps? Although a good bush plane might be an idea too with all that scenery to explore!

Definitely the Comanche. It looks like the perfect platform for a plane with so much character. I'm running out of superlatives for how I feel about the new sim and what it's going to do for our hobby.

1. P-40 - I fly VFR exclusively in MSFS, favorite fighter in P3D. Probably not a popular pick compared to 2 and 3 though.
2. Spitfire - Keeps me on my toes.
3. P-51 Military - Makes my hair fall out.
4. Bonanza - My favorite GA in P3D. I doubt we'll get the interactive gauges though?
5. Cherokee - Such a sweet ride. Comfy.

Normally I'd put the Texan at the top of my list, nicest flight model (and radial!), but with all the avionics problems in MSFS, I don't want to see anything resembling a GPS on any aircraft, or even an empty space for one. Maybe an option for a vintage panel?

I'll be waiting not-so-patiently for one of these while puttering around in my nicely-modded 152...with no gauge lighting...SMH...
