My list:
Lockheed Constellation - Because it is the best looking aircraft that has ever flown through the skies. And that's a FACT! No discussion possible. (and because the Just Flight model is quite horrible)
Sukhoi SJ100 - Because we need more modern Rusky aircraft. And this could be the first one that is going to be serving in Western countries too.
Learjet 45 - Because the default is awful. But it's a beautiful aircraft that I'd love to fly!
What did you guys vote for?

I see a lot voting for the Bear , I thought I'd plop in an entry for the AN22 , tho won't get to the starting line I had to show my interest in the type , back in its day it was very special .

Voted for an An-24, Il-18/22, and NAMC YS-11.
Once the word gets out that this poll exists, I suspect that most will just vote for a typical Boeing or Airbus jetliner, as those types seem to be the most popular.

747, Bac 111 & MD11. They didn't have an L-1011 which annoyed me

I went for the unique jobbies , the AN22 because access to one would be easy for them so to get it looking the part , but biggest this is going outside the typical .. I guess even a good TU95/TU114 would be a hit.

Why would you wanna vote for a product they already have made for you? And CS won't do a better job at the MD-11 than PMDG did. For that 747 I can only imagine the -100 untill -300 versions + the SP variant, because PMDG is working on version 2 of the 747-400 and iFly just released a -400 a few months ago. I wouldn't mind a DC-10 though since the guys at Project DC-XX seems to have vanished. CS does older aircraft very well, newer aircraft not quite as well
If you are looking for a Bac 1-11 look at this:

CLS has a massive DC-10 rebuild incoming, the model and VC is superb , the BAC111 won't in till early next year.

I voted for my faves and I didn't really like the other ones (I'm not a military or GA buff) and the options were limited with a lot of planes missing. I have a good Bac but that one looks interesting

Dave , I could see you as a Mig driver, the 19 would be an interesting looker for screens , be interesting to see the result, many in that list have been done (not going say to the death) to see the result is going to be fun.
