hard to say, but i do like flying the Blackbird science ship, which for some reason seems to not like the latest versions of Xplane 9 (anything past 9.30 and the engines flame out when i push past 50k feet and refuse to restart until i pretty much skydive to less than 10k feet, at which point they restart)

the other one i like to fly is (i think) the skyrunner. Very nimble little plane, and it likes to do loops when i leave it alone >.>

The blackbird I have uploaded I think was from a really late version 7 or really version 8 and it hasn't been updated yet.

The Skyrunner I think is by far my best plane and it originated as a single seater aerobatic plane, then came the 2 seat and 5 seat version. Would like to get more liveries for it, just haven't been able to come up with any myself.

another plane of yours which i like to use is the Keoda airship. very smooth, a little slow, but otherwise its not bad. the one "nag" i had with it was that the autopilot that you put in was next to useless and the panel needed some work to make it more efficient. I decided to take matters into my own hands and re-did most of it.
things like the engine readouts (engine and prop RPM, ful flow, and the other set of gauges) were reduced in size by 15%, the VOR dials were shrunk 25%, the displays were moved up and the altimeter, vert speed indicator, and radar altimeter were moved where the screens were.
to the panel, i added: global location indicator (its that one with the globe in it), cabin altimeter, autopliot toggle switch (so i can fully turn it on or off), redid the autopilot setting selectors, moving them above the gap created with the shrinking of the engine stuff, and added a A.O.A. stall indicator where the radar altimeter used to be.

i know i probably shouldnt have altered it without your consent, but manually flying it hundreds of miles was certainly not going to be fun. That is why i enhanced the cockpit to match the vehicle's long range.
so do you want a look at the redone panel?

would love to see the new panel, might incorporate it into an upgrade for the newest version of x-plane adding your name as designer of the panel layout

ill get the SS for the new panel by the end of the week. Right now im on linux and cant open Xplane as my laptop is utter shiat and barely runs it under linux.

And the landing gear needs work because i slide ALOT on the ground. brakes, airbrakes and thrust reversers are a good idea too as i need to float in at 75 knots to land without over-running the end of a 8000 foot runway.

and actually there are a few things i need to rectify with the panel (needs a proper nav display, the flight computer on the dash needs to come down, and a full set of warning lights are needed.)

in effect, about 70% of the panel will be completely redone as it is still a bit of a mess right now
