Great info on flying the HSI and ADI. :wiggle:
This also got me wondering about which planes were "must haves" for FS2002 and FS9 (while I build the new hangers for both sims).

The FSD T-38 is one of those planes you need to have installed. Not just in terms of performance, but also things like useful gauges you can use in other planes.
 
Have'nt seen this one, but i have Piglet's F5 installed
As for goto aircraft
Realair Spit (its payware but cant get this now) Bear Mig17, and the old Virtavia/Alpha F4 Phantom. I have much more recent payware phantoms in FS9 and X but i keep coming back to this one
 
I have a couple of suggestions while I have my feet up....

Mikko Maliniemi's Maule
Rick Piper's DH Chipmunk
Section F8 Sabre
Thomas Nillsen's Saab Draken
Dave Eckerts Sopwith Camel
Soko Galeb by Goran ?? ( originally for fs02)
Simshed Tucano and Westland Wessex
Dave Garwoods Hawker Hunters

That should keep you busy a while 😀

I would have most of Pete's list above and add:

A Mosquito of some sort
The Alphasim DH Hornets
Wings of Power Spitfire and P51D and H
 
I guess I'd also add the Hawk/Goshawk series from IRIS/DSB. For both FS9 and FS2002. :wiggle:
Great trainers for Fast Jet ops.
Ian, believe it or not, I got most of the Alpha/Virtavia (later) Phantoms working in FS2002. The biggest trick was to get the wheel brakes working.
Those MDL files for the first two versions are the max that FS02 can handle.
The Maul is great but that also brings up any of Brian Gladden's Pipers. :loyal:

T.K., for me its a tough call between the Alphasim P-47/P-51 combo and the W.o.P. models.
W.o.P. aircraft fly like the day they left the plant, Alpha planes fly like they've been carrying some ammo for a while. :unsure:

I almost forgot my true GOAT. The Alpha Sikorski S 55. Probably the easiest chopper to fly in FS9 and FS02 plus its VERY handy for doing scenery design and lay-out.
