What\'s your favourite aircraft type to fly ?

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1465 Dominic:
This week you can let us know what type of plane is your favourite to fly and why you think it's the best!

We know that some pilots like turboprops, some like big jets and some like the single engine Cessna - so now's your chance to tell us your fave... :P

You might even want to tell us about any planes you'd like to see in the Fleet! We can't guarantee to introduce every wish but we are always interested in what our community wants ;)

EHM-0654 Murray:
Right now, I'm only flying one plane and it's not in the fleet (nor do I expect it ever will be...) - the Cessna C337 Super SkyMaster (payware FSD one for FSX)

Basically, I'm waiting for a decent B738 to make it to FSX. ;D

EHM-1671 Ben:
No contest here, the B757... flying the beautiful Captain Sim model (which I'd love to see incorporated into EuroHarmony ;)). Has some fantastic destinations on our timetable too which is even better!

EHM-2097 Andrei:
I voted for "medium jets" though this is kind of unfair against the ATR 72 (Flight1 version) that I have been happily flying in the past weeks.

But the aircraft I like the most from the EHM fleet (excepted payware, thus more complex and interesting aircraft) is the Airbus 310.

I see that some gave their vote to the Boeing 757, as would also do some people I know from IVAO-RO, but I definitely prefer wide bodies. Don't know exactly why, maybe it's because these are naturally less likey to fly so it's more of an engineering "magic".

Or it may be because in the Euroholidays missions I once did one long night flight with the 757 seeing strange lights and smoke near the tail, only to understand at dawn that I probably rubbed the tail at takeoff and the aircraft is equipped "against" this kind of wrong doing ;D

EHM-2029 Sotiris:
Well my favourite bird seems to be ever-changing.

I started off with the Fokker F-70 as the most versatile and easy to use in my pre-FMC periods.
Then I came across the PMDG's and I loved them and the detailed simulation they offer. Alas, it was not to last. The B73X series was always correct, always without failures and always predictable. This made the novelty wear off much sooner than I had wished.

So I'm now in my current two babies.
Eurowings RJ-100. This little beauty is a tamperamental little bird. No autothrottle and a very peculiar autopilot. Still has a rudimentary FMC to deal with the lateral navigation tasks (esp. useful in crowded TMA's) but unless you're 100% on the ball you could loose airspeed, climb or descend too much and of course it takes a bit of work at every landing.

My other baby is the captain sim B707 in the E-3C configuration (NATO AWACS).
This has no FMC, No autothrottle and a VERY rudimentary AP. Which means you're guaranteed fun every step of the way :)
