I'm usually just a lurker on this list but my choices for the most visually and
flyably realistic planes are:
* C172P Skyhawk (3d panel, of course)
* pa28-161 -- Piper Cherokee Warrior II
* Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter (with the amazing walk features)
* Boeing 787-8
* A-6E Intruder
* F-14B Tomcat
* A-10 Thunderbolt
* Aerostar Super 700
* Cessna Citation Bravo
* DHC2 - de Havilland Beaver
* EC135My criterion are interior realism (appearance and function),
exterior realism (appearance and animation), and overall flying experience
(realism first, usability second). These nominations are in no particular
order (and yes, I know I listed eleven, LOL)... but I also think they represent
the best in a wide variety of types -- commercial jets, military jets, light
private class aircraft, and a heli.

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Call for aircraft nominations
While I'm at it. :-)
With each release we include a selection of representative aircraft that
highlight FlightGear's capabilities. Inclusion criteria include: Completeness,
variability across categories, realism, suitability for demo flights (think of
aerotowing, AI/Multiplayer refueling, carrier landing, etc etc.), relative
ease of operation (ie don't want to intimidate new users too much), and disk
space (we don't want to bloat the base package too much).
So, with these criteria in mind, what would be your current top 10 of
aircraft?
Cheers,
Durk
