Hi, Now watched as much as I can of all your suggestions. As already said, its not a matter of one better than the other. All have enough excellent merit to have in your fleet. For starters though, I'm going for the new (old second hand) A2A Comanche 250. But others highlighted here will follow. look forward to flying again. Thanks for all your help. Cavok.

Hi, Looked like a great event. Nice to see faces. Froogle's video above lead to browsing more Youtube. I found the following to be particularly interesting.

Hi, Thanks again for all your suggestions. I've looked at them all and it becomes clear, in their own way, all are worthy of wheeling into the hanger. When you think about it, the cost of these aircraft is minimal (and some are free). At most, a few beer's. Maybe a lunch. That's all. And what immersive pleasure they bring for month after month. Pretty exceptional value eh. For me though, the importance of choosing study aircraft is not finical but rather the heavy commitment of time and effort needed to squeeze out a full understanding of all the aircrafts detail. Avionics, systems, flying

Hi Brett B17. Never really thought of looking in this direction.Good simulation. Also like the switch click sound and the instrument vibrations and of course the wobbling engine cowlings. Great stuff. Must stay focused.

Thanks again. As Graeme says it comes down to personal preference but its nice to hear the opinions of others. I'm sure all these aircraft, in their own way, are worthy of adding to a collection. The Cessna 182 takes my fancy at the moment but I'm viewing each closely.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Thanks Matt and Anders for your comments. I was pleased to have chosen The B200 10 seat Twin Turboprop as my first (one and only) Addon aircraft. Its Avionics, systems and particularly the G1000 are so accurately modelled, with most switches and buttons working as they should. Also the outside modelling seems to be as good as it gets. So its these qualities I'm after in an aircraft up to this size. Prop or turbo,single or twin preferably with modern all weather avionics. When I started I thought I'd go to PMDG with all the above qualities and more but the tube liner flight deck is not

Hi, I'm searching for a modern Study GA Aircraft comparable to the Flight 1 Super King Air B200. I've now spent many enjoyable hours learning the avionics in this superbly modelled machine and wonder if their is anything out there similar in complexity. Thanks. Cavok.

I'm afraid I've only one Addon Aircraft, a F1 Beachcraft Super King. But what a superbly modelled aircraft. Unfortunately the sick bags in the back are used regularly. Thanks for the offer of help. Cavok

Hi, Like you I prefer GA flying particularly though Mountains. I carefully plan a route though mountain areas of the alps and Andes using Google Earth, extracting Way Point positions and building up flight plans in FSX. The reason for using flight plans is that I get a great buss from low level flying with Live weather. Therefore I fly without AP when I can but, as happens in mountains, weather very often takes a turn for the worst , so I switch to AP when I'm blind. Seeing occasional sideway glimpses of very close rock faces as you plough though the murk is exhilarating (not to be at
