What war's rare aircraft interest you?

[Cag40Navy]

This is for a project i am thinking bout doing but need to know a little in what would be the most interesting rare aircraft to be put into the sim.

All i am doing right now is thinking, i may or may not do this. It will depend.

[gradyhappyg]

I would like to see a nice little P-39 Airacobra.
Or a huge B-29 superfort.
So I voted WW2.
:wiggle:

[grunau_baby]

A modest list of mine:
1. Fokker G1
2. Fokker DXXI
3. Heinkel He 115
4. Blohm & Voss 141
5. Dornier Do 24
6. Heinkel He 100
7. Junkers F13

Well that pretty much locks me into the WW2 era.

[Lewis-A2A]

Maryland and Baltimore, the strikers. Used extensively by the RAF in the med, giving Rommel a right ole bloody nose.

[dominique]

To make up your mind if you had no idea what a rare aircraft was. I hadn't myself so I googled up that (http://rareaircraf1.greyfalcon.us/UNITED%20STATES.htm) . Some blur the definition from "rare" and "weird":).

Food for thought for some devs' here anyway like Piglet or Lionheart ...

I like the Abrams Explorer, the Arups are nice too but I did the US pages only. Gotta look at the whole site.

[kilo delta]

Would be great to see some Soviet Cold War aircraft in full fat FSX goodness....Sukhoi's,MiG's,Antonovs,Ilyushin's,Tup olevs (especially the mighty Bear),Mil helicopters etc etc etc

:)

[Naki]

Yeah I agree..not exactly rare and not cold war but a Yak-3 would be nice.

[dominique]

Come on guys, the Yak-3 was anything but rare :). Now tell me about the JERMOLAJEW JER-2 bomber or the Mig 5 and 8 or even better the Kalinin K12 !

PS I've fond memories of the Captain Sim Yak-3 for FS9 (or 8 ?)!

[Cazzie]

Well, since I don't have the choice of World War I or Between the Wars, I'll have to bote WW II, since most of them had props.

Since it is suppose to be a rare subject, how about a Curtiss-Wright CW-21 Demon?

Caz

[Stickshaker]

Don't forget WWI: Junkers D.I, Siemens-Schuckert D.III/D.IV, Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI.

[Daube]

WWII aircrafts are cool, and they are in fact leading the poll right now.
However, there are already a lot of WWII addons available.
Now, how many good quality russian aircrafts do we have ?

[CWOJackson]

What I don't understand is why no one has considered doing the Spanish Civil War. It had a wide range of aircraft involved that were in that transition from fabric covered bi-planes to metal monoplanes. An interesting aviation period totally ignored in simming.

[Bjoern]

He-177?
Ta-154?
Ju-388?

[srgalahad]

indeed a long list, though not much from the western side of the pond.
A lot of interesting history too ( including mercenary pilots from all over the world)

http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/index.html

[Bjoern]

http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/index.html

Some of the italian models are available as (really well made) portovers.


And looking at all the aircraft, a He-112, He-70, H-111C, Ju-86D, Bf-109A to early E would be kind of nice to have.

[rpetty]

Would love to see more experimental aircraft from the Cold War:

X-24B
HL-10
M2-F3
X-20 Dyna Soar
Bell X-2

FDL-5
14659

[jankees]

I would like a FW-189 or better still a BV-141

and a Norseman perhaps?
and of course a P-61!

[mikezola]

Besides the He-100, Ta-154, and He-112 already mentioned, how about an Fw-187...

[Cag40Navy]

Wow.... Amazing guys. I was thinking bout the WW1 era. So basically anyone who votes for the WW2 will count as also WW1. Like i said, i am still thinking bout it.

[mikezola]

WWI aircraft? Hmmmm... Seems to me that there's not been a lot of two-seaters done... I'm thinking about RE8, Be2c, Rumpler, Aviatik, DFW, Albatros C-series... a Taube would be neat as well...

[pilottj]

I like the rare German WW2 designs like the Do-335, Ta-154, Me-209 II, Me-309. Would love to see some of the prewar designs that came from the golden age era. The Me-209 racer looks like quite a hotrod.

14682

Also the rare cold war designs were quite facinating, like the F-90.

I would really like to see the Mig-9 14707

[Railrunner130]

I voted for Cold War because there are a good deal of forgotten Soviet aircraft. The Sukhoi T-4 comes to mind. I flew the wings off the one Copper Beard put out. There are a ton of others that are at Monino that have been long forgotten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Air_Force_Museum

[ericts]

I voted Korea, but I like the 'Golden Age' period between the Wars the best.

[anatolpopov]

MFI-9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malm%C3%B6_MFI-9)
14731
Small singe-engine civil plane and it was used in Biafran War

Von Rosen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_von_Rosen#Biafran_War) and his five aircraft launched attacks against Nigerian air fields at Port Harcourt, Enugu,Benin and other small airports. The Nigerians were taken by surprise and a number of expensive jets, including a few MiG-17 fighters and three out of their six Ilyushin Il-28 bombers, were destroyed on the ground.

[grunau_baby]

I completely vote for a Junkers G38 with complete interior:redfire:

[FAC257]

Curtiss R-2 & JN-2 aircraft from the 1916 Punitive Expedition into Mexico. :)
http://warandgame.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/hunting-pancho/

May not be the most rare or unusual aircraft but this period in American military aviation has always held a special spot in my life long love of aviation.

I've mentioned this before in another thread or two but the young pilot mentioned in the story, Captain Benjamin D. Foulois was a friend of my family and an occasional dinner guest over to the house when I was about 10 years old. We were stationed at Andrews AFB at the time.

I vividly remember him telling stories about learning to fly from the Wright Brothers.

FAC

[Ken Stallings]

You really don't have to go "back to the future" to pick a candidate.

How about one from the current war that I think few know about?

The Comp Air 7.

http://www.aerocompinc.com/airplanes/CA7/index.htm

It was one of the very first aircraft to fly with the new Iraqi Air Force post-Saddam Hussein.

So, it has history behind it, it is general aviation themed so it will fly rather nicely in FSX, and it is unique -- at least in terms of payware in FSX.

Ken

[vora]

I have a weird knack for early Pacific warbirds... P-36, P-39, P-40, F4F, TBD, SBD, Boomerang, Hurricane.
In this regard a TBD Devastator would be my kind of choice.

I also have a knack for Vietnam warbirds which flew in the "other theaters", so Ravens, Air America, Bird Air and anything that flew out of "Naked Fanny" (Nakhom Phanom).
Helio Courier or CH-34 maybe.

[Cag40Navy]

Wow, interesting numbers for sure. I will look into the top 2 of the poll.

[pilottj]

Cold war era bombers would be quite interesting, B-47s, B-50s, B-36s..etc. I bet A2A could do a wonderful B-50 since they already have some of the systems and modelling done from the 377. Maybe a B-29/B-50 package or somthing.

Cheers
TJ

[blazefox2]

the cold war produced many new designs, some that were never put into production, but it is interesting how many advancements we made during those years, but i guess when you are trying to out-do another superpower, miracles will happen

[Kevboy]

For me it has to be the Saro Lerwick, as I now have many in side images of the aircraft, a long with many external shots. See here on my web page for more info of the only 21 aircraft made. Click on any image to enlarge.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clippers/in_memory.htm

So if any wants to make, please.

Kevboy.

[Railrunner130]

I'd support the Lerwick. I'm a sucker for floaters.

[Cag40Navy]

Well, looks like i will be looking at everything between the World War 2 and the end of the Cold War periods (Including Korea and Vietnam). Thanks for everyone who voted and gave out some aircraft ideas. I will look into them. Thanks again!

I thought that in the closing days of WW2,the Nazis ,in desperation,put out the most exciting,and innovative planes of all.The Military Channel,often shows that effort..with on the spot film....Rocket,Jet,Stealth,swept back wings,all the stuff of all our ,and Soviet new technology to come after WW-2......it seems the moon was possible to visit ,thru this German technology,born in war.!..Most often in a cottage industry enverment!...It seems War accelerates mans ability to wipe us all out......Like splitting the atom,also born in War and,on the Nazi calender.Makes "D" day most important!!.However when used in more peaceful methods,its still is a remarkable thing!!....This to me is a very interesting time in Aviation,the closing days of WW2,on all sides!!!

1. Fokker G1

3. Dornier Do 24
4. Heinkel He 115

Anything else from the inter-war period that was built by Fokker or Koolhoven will do fine too. :)

[Helldiver]

Interesting. When I was young man there would be only two choices. World War One and World War Two. How things have changed.
World War One isn't even mentioned in the poll, even though they flew real airplanes with wings and propellers and a leather cap on their heads.
Now it's filled with the exception of WWII with wars where they flew oil burners. I got one in my oil furnace, afterburner and all. Now they have to have a computer to keep them in the air and a brain bucket on their heads.

[PRB]

When the first plane was built with an enclosed cockpit, the old crusty air mail pilots were skeptical. “You expect me to crawl inside the airplane and peer out of windows to fly it? That's just crazy talk and I'll have none of it! Won't be able to feel the wind on my face, so how in heck am I supposed to know if I'm side slipping at night? You kids go find some other darn fool to fly while sitting inside your airplane!”

Pilots today talk of the “good ol days”, when flying was really flying! Of course they're talking about the 1970s, before that new fancy pants “fly by wire” nonsense was invented. “Fly by wire indeed, I've got your fly by wire right here, steel cables from my stick and rudder to the control surfaces, that's the only wires I need!”

Oh, how about a Martin B-10, or a Martin Maryland? That would be cool. Dang hope Bjoern doesn't see this! :icon_lol:

[W. Bleddyn]

Odd that there is no WWI in the list... I guess the dawn of flight is too slow for some people.

Of the eras listed, my main interest is not rare at all, but it IS rare in FSX. Handley Page Halifax.

[clmooring]

I like military trainers; especially turbo prop trainers. I would really like to have a high performance turbo prop military trainer. I have one, that I recently purchased. But I guess I am spoiled with some of the new FSX add-ons and the graphics and systems just don't hold up.

Pilatus PC-21 would be perfect!

[paulb]

I would like to see more interwar - ie 1918 to 1939 aircraft. It's one area that has been neglected in FSX.

[ftl818]

Halifax, Stirling, Ju88, FW2000

[rpjkw]

AlphaSim made a Douglas A-20 (Mk.III Boston). I grabbed it when it was freeware, quite a long time ago, and I don't know if it's still available. One of my favorite twin bombers is the Martin B-26 Marauder by Dave Eckert. I'm a big fan of WWII and Cold War aircraft.

Bob

[Bjoern]

Piglet's PC-7?

Piglet's PC-7 is great. I fly it often. I recently purchased the texan II. The VC is ok, but wouldn't a pc-21 with a realair or lotusim vc be great.

I dont have the a10 so I cant compare that.

...Boeing B-50 and a B-36. The Alphasim B-36 flies like a Cessna, and looks puny on the runway. Not banging Alphasim-- the B-36 was great when it came out years ago...it would just be nice to have a big model with a great panel, turrets and bombays that work, several variants (RB-36, etc.), and engine sounds that make the plaster fall from the ceiling...

Heavy iron!

[Milton Shupe]

I like this Avia 51, an early 30's hi-performance passenger craft built in Prague, Czechoslovakia by the Avia Company and designed by Mr. Nebezar, a former Detroit Aircraft Corporation engineer. I have this on my list as a future possibility.

One of my wants for FSX has been an XF-85 Goblin....Mr. Ito made one for FS04 and it's still one of my favorite little hotrods to
fly...Would love to have one for FSX with the retractable hook so you can fly with/without the hook extended. It's not a conventional
a/c, but it's a lot of fun to fly. I think in real life it only made a couple (maybe even just one) flight, but in FS04 I've flown it's little
wings off!

Whats really missing and rare is those large flying boats such as the Short S14 Sarafand made during the '30's. Man, if only I could get hold of a quality model of those !

[blkbart]

F-82 Twin Mustang--replaced the P-61 after WWII and, as I recall, was used in combat in Korea. Kind of a strange hybrid where the two crew members could look 90 degrees and see each other in their separate canopies. Accounts I have read indicated it was a good performer.

F-94 A/B Starfire--Also used in combat in Korea. Derived from the F-80, the F-94 was essentially a T-33 with an afterburner and radar added. It may well have been the first operational jet fighter with an afterburner. I am partial to this aircraft because my Dad flew it out of McChord AFB and Elmendorf AFB in the early 50s.

[Navy Chief]

The Vietnam era aircraft are my favorite. Thankfully, most aircraft from that era are available for FSX.

I am, however, looking forward to the aircraft carrier package being currently developed.....

The problem with most of these large flying boats is finding usable drawings and other data. I didn't know about about the Sarafand so I searched for it and liked what I saw, BUT, no sign of a drawing or a pic of the cockpit. If anyone knows of a drawing or other data please post a link here because it looks like that would be a great summer project!

One of my favourites is currently being built :biggrin-new: :biggrin-new: :biggrin-new:

Even though they're post-WW2 their development certainly began in the war years but prior to the Korean conflict, and they're rare as the designs never went beyond the testing phase. I've also seen them in FS9, but native versions would be nice for FSX...

1) The very beautiful Republic XF-12 Rainbow...

4616

2) The magnificent Northrop YB-49 Flying Wing (been a fan ever since the first time I saw "War of The Worlds")...

4617

3) The Douglas XB-43 Jetmaster...

4618

I do love the Martin Marauder - sleek deadly and for the time one pretty aircraft :adoration:

[TuFun]

Curtiss Hawk would be great even thou it's a 20's aircraft!

Cold War, most definitely!

Would love a good, native Buran OK-GLI, Yak-38, Il-82 (Il-76VKP) Myasishchev M-50 Bounder, Myasishchev M-55 Geofysika, Antonov An-72, RC-135 Rivet Joint, E-4B Nightwatch, EC-135J Looking Glass, NKC-135, Beriev A-60 etc...

...OK, that's probably more than my fair share of aircraft. I'd ask for a Yak-44 as well, but I don't want to be too greedy, and there are no photos of the proposed cockpit layout, so even an E-2 Hawkeye, painted as a Hawkeyeski, would be welcome. ;)

I got to say that along with the other suggestions, I'd really like to see an FSX native XF-85 Goblin. Mr. Ito made one for FS9 that I still fly today. Althoughit didn't have a lenghty "service" career, it's still an interesting a/c. Granted, some of the features would need to be improvised for operational use, butit would make for a "peculiar-Piglet" style a/c.

I think a C-46 would be the way to go.
I don't understand all the work & effort that's going to be put into the C-97. Seems like re-inventing the wheel, no disrespect to the developers but it will be constantly compared to the A2A 377. :(
I may be completely wrong though. :)

That's the developer's choice, he can make what he likes. There's a great deal of enthusiasm for an aircraft type needed when building a model, perhaps you ought to try Gmax and have a crack at a C46? That's what I did when no-one was building the aircraft I wanted.
