5 Must Have GA Aircraft for X-Plane 11

[@CalsFlyingMachines]

Great video. After taking a break from sims and then spending a few months with MSFS, I am enjoying X-Plane 11 a lot again. It's such a fantastic sim platform and the content for it, even the freeware at times, is top notch.

[@kellenhannagan7350]

Did the exact same thing as you and couldn’t be happier!

[@chrisadish]

Me too! Bought sim acoustics 172 soundpack with the 172 rep and its waayyyy more realistic than the msfs 172. I've flown a real 172 a few times and its spot on!! Recommend this combination!!

[@V1Sim]

Came here to look at the lancair, purchased the piper and cirrus before I even got to the lancair in the video 😂 great list!

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Captain. Good to hear from you. Stay safe and well.

[@mogumogu3686]

This is a very well made video with excellent advice.All 5 planes listed are literally the very best made and the best value for money.Hats off to Q8 Pilot for another top quality video.Thank you Sir.👏👏👍👍

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank for your kind words sir.

[@mogumogu3686]

@@Q8Pilot Sir...all thanks to you who for years have been giving us the most professional and honest reviews and advice.You are the best and please keep up your great work.With deep appreciation.

[@omarijoseph3189]

I don't really fly GA planes that must, but I will agree that they really help you in getting to know picturesque scene up close and personal. The Piper & Cirrus planes I like the most for their power output..help you get out of trouble quickly. The TBM is also a fantastic plane as well.

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

Xplane + Vulcan + vr is the best flight sim experience I’ve ever had in my 30 years of simming.

[@filipechaves9706]

Bought the Cirrus today! The plane is awsome, thanks!

[@WilkinsJLeong]

Better than vFlytes Cirrus sr20/22?

[@rjflight7625]

Glad the afl 350 is on here. I fly it way too much, such a great a/c. Awesome video as always captain :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you sir and thank you for watching!

[@paulsheather7657]

I have three of the aircraft on this list the cirrus the tbm and the lancair. I love them all they are a credit to the people who created them.

[@cleniolelys]

Great list and as always quality content.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your support as always.

[@Mattmfb]

Nice selection, but missed a lot the JRollon's SF-260 on this list.

[@Q8Pilot]

It was featured in my list of top 10.

[@jatarml1]

@@Q8Pilot But it is better than others you has named in this list

[@darrelldiaz]

Great choices!

[@kaiflight]

Could you possibly update this for this years and last years set of aircraft? Great video!

[@Q8Pilot]

Yes I think this is long overdue. I will plan it soon. Stay tuned!

[@donaldholman9070]

Great video and very nice list of GA planes!

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Donald.

[@manuelsaldivar3962]

Thanks Buddy, a great review. I love the AFL350 but since it was updated i cant get it to work. It ctds xplane but I'll figure it out and will be flying it soon.

[@eric-chinghsunchang5565]

The latest update of the AFL KA350 to support integrate GTN750 is really the last missing piece of this fine aircraft model. Nice vid to introduce GA aircraft.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@jaysmith4302]

Carenado has a couple of general aviation jewels that I think deserve at least honorable mention, namely the Navajo and Citation 550, and possibly the Turbo Commander as well. The Aerobask DA-62 is also excellent. While I can't argue with any of your selections, picking a list like this for G.A. is more difficult and more subjective than for airliners since there is such a great variety of types. I happen to prefer twins with good cross-country capability. Someone else might prefer short flights into small airports. All a matter of taste, I guess.

[@tadeus7258]

Great choices, but I would probably add the SF260, no other plane feels so alive.

[@MoisesSimana]

Nice list. Was hoping to see at least one C172 on the list

[@bobka_old]

I'll just say, afm mooney collection and vskylab crafts worth mention too. Nice vid!

[@Q8Pilot]

Perhaps in my top 10 video.

@@Q8Pilot your welcome my dear friend

[@MatjazMirt]

Great video. But I wonder ... Would've DHC-2 Beaver from Thranda got a place on a list if it would come out a week or two earlier?

[@blackjack6259]

A little surprised to not see any Carenado aircraft in this lineup. A great video regardless. Keep up the great work!

[@Q8Pilot]

Carenado aircraft do not stand a chance in any lineup at all. Thanks for watching!

[@bassrash]

I've been wanting to get the TBM900 for a while. Flying mostly the JF Archer 3.

[@Q8Pilot]

You will not regret getting it.

[@bassrash]

@@Q8Pilot You’re not kidding. I love this plane. KTPA-KEYW-KRDU. So fun to fly.

[@WarrenPostma]

Man now I have to spend a bunch more money. Thanks. :-)

[@mosaico2011]

Hi Q8 , would you please make a review for the Dash 8 Q400 Legacy (FlyJSim-Dash8-Q400) ? I saw one of your videos 2 years ago about the majestic Dash 8 and it look so realistic, so wandering if the Dash 8 at xplane 11 looks the same !! Thanks and I appreciate a reply 😃

[@Q8Pilot]

Hello there. The Legacy Dash 8 is not up to the regular JFlySim standards. There is a brand new Dash 8 being developed and it should be at par with the P3D version.

[@mosaico2011]

@@Q8Pilot thank you so much

[@phillipbeharall6271]

Thank you 👏👏👏👏

[@Q8Pilot]

Most welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@SimsSmith]

Nice video. Please do one for Biz Jets.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thabks for watching and the suggestion.

[@moontan91]

i love the TBM 900 but it's heavy on framerate on my machine. i've switched to the Aerobask Epic E1000 G1000 Edition. they're both awesome: lots of power and speed and yet can still takeoff and land on short runways.

[@Q8Pilot]

Happy flying =)

[@flyaboveall7412]

Very nice! What’s the airport at 5:19? And may I know if Carenado M20R Ovation is worthy to be considered? I am considering to buy. Subscribed! Thanks.

[@Q8Pilot]

The airport is CZST Stewart Airport in British Columbia, Canada. Stay away from Carenado....not good but pretty. Welcome to the channel =)

[@JannisD]

Which environmental add-ons have you used in this video? Thank you in advance 🙂

[@Q8Pilot]

Xvision v2

[@rockyrowlands3652]

You said that we can check out the aircraft on the video description. Please excuse my ignorance but I can’t find the link you are referring to.

[@Q8Pilot]

If you expand the description just below the video you should be able to see all the links.

[@rockyrowlands3652]

Thanks..I have now found it...every day is a learning day.

[@amrhosny9330]

How about the Mooney M20J

[@Q8Pilot]

Not a bad aircraft but not a must have =)

[@a-a-ron9965]

How do the TBM and KA350 work with VR? I’m loving the immersion of VR and would have a hard time going back to monitor

[@Q8Pilot]

Sorry I can't help there because I don't use VR.

[@PepuDrummer527]

Q8 please can you make an updated video with all the addons youre using to make XP11.50 looks the way yours do?

[@Q8Pilot]

Sure, I will plan this for a future video.

[@capitanbob7143]

Great video! Just wondering which one has the best FPS?

[@Q8Pilot]

The aerobask and vflytair both have the least effect on performance.

[@capitanbob7143]

@@Q8Pilot Thank you so much.

[@gamestv4875]

What is the scenery ?

[@paulkirkland3263]

I love them all, but I think you've sold that Lancair to me.

[@Q8Pilot]

The Lancair is a beautiful bird. I enjoy it a lot!

[@Scarebus_Driver]

We are spoilt for choice but the big one you missed is the Thranda Pilatus Porter. Its as good as the TBM and significantly better than the King Air particularly its PT6 engine model. TBM, PC-6 are the two stand out Turboprops in xplane. With regard to KingAirs the Milviz B350 has a clear lead on the AFL one with a brilluant replication of the PT6 and the advanced avionics suite in P3D. Its easily the best PT6 simulation in P3D abd rate it as highly as the TBM and PC6 in xplane. Nice selection of aircraft but 5 simply isnt enough..lol...msfs cant get 1 decent aircraft and Xplane has an abundance...

[@antonwestergaard5211]

Nice

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks!

[@virtualaviator21156]

Ok but what about the flight1 kingair

[@jacobjenkins1279]

I would have the Thanda PC-6 porter on my list

[@Q8Pilot]

It is a great aircraft, but this list was reserved for the absolute "must have" in my opinion!

[@CoreyYoungblood]

Hello there. Just curious, where does this video take place?

[@Q8Pilot]

Multiple places...1S2, CZST, 11S, KSEA...

[@rockyrowlands3652]

Sorry just found it. But another question are you sponsored by the software developers ?

[@Q8Pilot]

I am not sponsored by anyone and have paid the full price for everything I show on the channel.

[@josehostenchagusti3420]

How do I link to download on of those planes ?

[@Q8Pilot]

Links in the description. You will have to buy them!

[@egemukan]

Thank you, at least I have TBM900 ;)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for watching my friend.

[@virtualaviator21156]

King Air b200 by flight1 isbthe best simulation of a King Air of that particular type( to be exact, an overhauled 1984 super kingair b200 with blackhawk engines

[@bac1111967]

vflyte Piper, it doesnt look right in the nose to me. its low and long, or is this based on a new version not the ones we usually see. I dont personally like it because of that look

[@antonioiozzi291]

The external 3d model of the vflyteair cherokee has a completely wrong shaped fuselage. Cowling too long, dimension and shape of windows also wrong.

[@LostInSpace175]

make a better one then

[@hakim91]

Found it

[@panthros7395]

Always interesting to see your take. I think this is a much better Piper 28 if you have not checked it out. store.x-plane.org/PA-28-181-Archer-TXLX-XP_p_1125.html
