i use the YAK that came with it and i like expansion pack 3 the most...
they are releasing a editor to make your own planes soon so there will be loads of them after that.

So far IMO Refelx is the most difficult to fly. Not because of its complexity but for its realism. I believe that its tendencies are extremly close to that of real planes at the field.

Sorry, I meant the hardest sim to fly.

I guess I am not going for realism because most of the time I start with a difficult plane and the parameters cranked so that it flies more difficult than my real planes. It seems that pushing this envelope helps me progress faster, wiring the brain(developing neuropathways) at a faster rate than if I was practicing with the sim set at a more realistic setting. A lot of the time after practicing at this more challenging setting I will drop back to a more realistic setting and see that I have made progress.

I have herd that it is quite easy to get the planes in G3 to fly like the ones in AFPD, but the default plane flies closer to the way I like to practice.

I am not sure about reflex--being able to make the plane easier to fly, but it sounds like the default is difficult also.

Does anybody else out there get joy from knocking a wing or horizontal stabilizer off in flight (hitting a building or something) and keep flying it around and try to make a safe landing on the runway??? I find this quite entertaining! If you crank the "reset after crash time" up you get plenty of time to recover and land. Besides, I look at this as training in case one of my wings comes off in flight and I need to get it to the ground with little damage.

My favorite thing to do is to hover on the ground dragging the tail around and knocking off the rudder/fin and an elevator ond then taking it up higher and trying torq roll it with just the elevator- something similar to what Tyke Hale did a couple weeks ago.
