I don't have the skyunlimited version but the A2A one is quite good. By screenshots alone, it looks better than the skyunlimited one, IMHO.

I think a re-phrasing of the question is in order here:

Perhaps we should ask "what aircraft will suit my flying enjoyment" :ques:

At one of the simming spectrum, some people like to fly & relax. No 1000 page manuals, no yoke, no rudder pedals, just a joystick & a beverage of their choice. To these simmers, there are aircraft out there that they'd dislike.

And then at the far other end of the spectrum, there are those simmers who want the full UPT experience. They've got a yoke, throttle stick, ruddder, Track IR...& have volumes & volumes of Dash-1's & manuals in their libraries. To these simmers, there are aircraft out there that these simmers definitely wouldn't feel satisfied with.

And finally, there are the "tweeners". These prefer a 'balanced' aircraft. One that's not to far in either category mentioned above.

Just some thoughts because "best" to one simmer isn't exactly "best" to another:mixedsmi:

I agree-

What sort of things are you interested in? Utter realism, probably A2A. Entertainment (flashing guns, dropping bombs), probably Sky Unlimited, but not to say that their B-17 is unrealistic.

If you want lots of paint jobs, A2A.

Both are excellent products. Who says you can't have both? :D
