General Opinion best Fighter for MSFS

[Disneyflyer]

Ok, I know MSFS is not DCS and there is nothing flying off the rails or falling from the racks, but which is the better quality.

The F16 or the F15. Ya I know there is a F14 out there too but Navy is already covered with the Super Hornet so I'd like an USAF plane other than the C17. Trying to decide between the 2 and I have a gift card that is just burning a hole in my pocket.

 

The F16 is the newest one and looks really good. The F15 is only about a year old now but I remember when it first came out there were some issues and some folks were not all that happy. The bright side is on the 15 you get the C, D, E and I model.

 

Anyone have both and want to provide some good/bad on both.

 

I think I am leaning more towards the F16 but that Strike Eagle sure does look nice.

 

Thanks!

I don't claim this to be the best, but it's got to be one of the most fun - it's the freeware Fokker DR1 triplane and it has guns that fire (with sounds and effects) everything works that should and there's even a pistol in the cockpit which you can practice your gunslinger tricks with:

I actually have that and it is a blast to go flying tree top level. Thanks Tiger

I didn’t know about that. I presume it works just as well in VR? I’ll soon find out :)

Cheers Tim!

 

Edit: yep, it works in VR! I'm going to have fun with this one.

It was a bit of a shock when I first started her up though at EGLC. It appears the light switches on my Honeycomb yoke are setup to fire the guns!

It was probably a bigger shock for the ground crew LOL

 

mid flight, over London..

Well, decided to buy both.

Have to say so far I like the F16 better. Afterburners on both are note as good as the default F18 Asobo.

I like the flight characteristics better on the Falcon over Eagle, but the E Model sure is pretty.
