'Desert Island' Flight Sim add-ons

Paul K · Post by **Paul K** » 21 Oct 2006, 23:25

For those who reside in Our Colonies & Dominions (

) there's a long-running BBC radio program called 'Desert Island Discs', in which the invited guest selects a number of records they would like to have with them if stranded on a desert island. ( Hmmm, I suppose that indicates how long the show has been running. If it was just starting out now, it would be called Desert Island MP3s )

Anyway, if you were on a desert island, with a PC and FS9/X, what would be the ten ( or twelve...or fifteen at a push ) FS aircraft/scenery/utilities/anything else you can think of, that you would like to have with you ?

Here's my list:

Rick Piper's Chipmunk and HS 748

David Maltby's Comet and VC10

Plane Design's Lancastrian

DelP's Dove

All of Dave Garwood's Hunters ( counts as one choice...my thread, my rules

)

MAAM's C-47

Aerosoft's DHC2 Beaver

Alphasim's Halifax & Halton

Thats all I can think of at the moment. So what are your absolutely essential FS add-ons ?

Don't make it so easy! (10?, 12?, 15? :roll: )

Make it one!

David Maltby's One-Eleven :dance:

(And "War and Peace" and "Beethoven's Ninth")

Ah! David has put much more development into the One-Eleven in FS and it does just about everything.

The VC10 is both beautiful to behold and to fly; but the One-Eleven has far more depth for a long sojourn on a desert island ......

Looking at it another way though, the One Eleven might be useful to hop between Islands (like in Hawaii for example), but the VC10 would have the range to get you back off the Island you have been stranded on anyway

....assuming the runway is long enough and you can takeoff with enough fuel :roll:
