The now-defunct Dutch airplane company, Fokker (pronounced not how you want to pronounce it), developed several variants of the F28 distinguished by a steady increase in capabilities from slightly updated engines to increased passenger and fuel capacity. Introduced in the 60s, the Fokker F28 Fellowship built upon the successes of the turboprop F27 as a short-range airliner.
Despite an overall incredible flying experience, there are some missing features that we see in other products that would make it a true 10/10. And for us desktop captains, Just Flight hit a home run with the F28, as its high-workload operating procedures make for a satisfying flight simming experience. However, there’s something charming about the aircraft of yesterday.
I’m thinking of the 787 and A350 for example. For many, older aircraft are not as appealing as the high-tech, automated supercomputers in the skies today.
There’s a lot to select from, from PMDG’s piston-powered DC-6 to iniBuilds A310. There’s no shortage of “old school” airliners for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
