Which aircraft are crying to be developed??

[fsxar177]

Good-day,
A little bit of a used up topic, however, given THESE choices, which would you most desire to see put into a professional payware development? (FSX)

Joseph

[PilatusTurbo]

Beechcraft Starship. Such a cool corporate commuter, with good flying characteristics, decent speed and economy, and just being way ahead of its time and totally awesome looking. :ernae: I would buy and fly the crap outta that ship, but it may just be me.

[ColoKent]

...F-82E (day escort fighter) and F-82G (night fighter version with "pickle" radar between the cockpits). This is a neat airplane.

Granted, not many were built compared to the "usual" suspects (P-51D, P-40, P-38, B-17, B-25, etc.). However, a comparative infinite number of F-82s were built compared to the [usually British] oddball "one-offs" [i.e. typical proof-of-concept machine-- usually to test a theory-- and only one example ever built] that some developers get completely enraptured with-- so I guess the relationship of numbers produced to potential FSX model is all relative.

Bottom line: I would easily pay for an F-82 package done to the level of quality and detail that the Warbirdsim P-51 is done at...

Kent

[PilatusTurbo]

Apologies... I thought it was odd when "These Aircraft" was underlined, however, it did not show me the survey... 1000 pardons. :ernae:

[Sundog]

Your list is missing the first stealth bomber. The North American B-45 Tornado. It's the first stealth bomber, because it seems to be invisible to history and most discussions regarding the early jets put into service.

[Rich]

Good-day,

Joseph

No mention of professional payware development in the voting box ??

Why confined to payware some of us oldies are on fixed pensions ??

Why ask about a replacement for a model that has not yet been released ??

[jankees]

none of the above, really

[conork]

Sikorsky S-61N or Sikorsky s-92 .... Or a good native aw139 :)

[Francois]

Not MY favorites, so I cannot vote...... :kilroy:

[stiz]

have to admit, i wouldnt mind a twin mustang .. but thats only because their so rudy odd!

[Prowler1111]

That list looks like something from Piglet´s peculiar planes freeware workshop...
Prowler

[Navy Chief]

None of the above for me, at least.

I want to see the RA-5C Viggie developed!!!!

NC

[DagR]

Northrop F-5A/B and RF-5A ;-)
Republic F-84E/G Thunderjet :-)

Best regards
Dag

[ColoKent]

....Gotta admit, I agree with you on those!

Kent

[fallenphoenix1986]

None of the above for me as well, and like Rich I've got to wonder why there is any need at all for an alternative to the Flying Stations bird.

[Kavehpd]

Neither one, I'm afraid.

[LCBORDEN]

not keen on the list that starts the topic.... my apology that I can't come up with an aircraft that I have been really yearning for..... The accu-simmed version of anything is fine with me... as Long as Jankees does some add-on textures and John terrell puts in a few tweaks, I'm golden. I'm starting to appreciate the later years prop-liners so a really great DC7 would be dandy

[Gibbage]

YB-35 gets my vote =) I really hope Piglet finishes his.

[ColoKent]

....would be wonderful!

Kent

[rvn817j]

I know I'm not helping with the poll, but none of those aircraft appeal to me more than seeing the Nemesis NXT in FSX. I believe Eaglesoft was working on the plane and dropped it. I'd sure like it if it was put back up on the "working" list. (Sorry about the 'botched' title!)

http://www.nemesisnxt.com/docs/Brochure_NXT_2005.pdf

[SeanTK]

From the poll options, I'd go with the Yak series, although I'm also partial to the Twin Mustang.

As far as my own wishes go, I would hope for a very high quality, FSX-Native, "systems-simulation" of the following:

Fairchild Metroliner
Antonov An-24RV
Tupolev Tu-134A-3 and/or B model.
Beech 1900C and/or D
Cessna 400-series (preferably 404 or Reims/Cessna 406)
Dassault Falcon series (20 through 50)
Gulfstream 1
Saab 340
Mil Mi-2
Mil Mi-24 (Hind)
Kamov Ka-60

[Bjoern]

Hm. Sounds like something for PutPut.

With a Yak-3/7/9? Hardly.

Kent,
Just a look at my avatar should tell what my choice is LOL.
The F-82E has been my pet project for 4 years now.

Mark

[Ian Warren]

FSX Wish List:

B-26 Marauder

North American AJ Savage

Douglas A-20 Havoc



I am being a little more realistic :icon_lol: the B-26 tho , so many European theater,d aircraft and amazing paints to go with

The Savage , that would be interesting , that definitely a Tim'Piglet'Conrad Special for the navy nutters like myself .

A Havoc/Boston series , hecks they are few and far between as well following the 26 .

One added keeping it military , this being a Combat Flight Sim Forum but also to keep the panties on the civvy boys , the Fokker Friendship .

I don't want your Fokker Friendship :icon_lol: I want the list above looked at :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

[ColoKent]

....knocked it out of the park with his Fokker Friendship request. We need a detailed, FSX-native version of that (to include the military MPA variant) badly.

Bravo, Ian!

Kent

[fsxar177]

Good-day,
I expected the answer of many lists of aircraft's, many of which are of much appeal to myself also. I particularly like the idea of a B-26, P-35, or the F-84. The idea of the NXT is curious, and it's too bad that we haven't seen any more on that project. However, none of these are in the poll....for a reason.

To answer some, I didn't mention a replacement Sea Fury, only another.

Keep the answers coming, it's interesting at least.

The poll is showing favor on the F-82, as expected.

Joseph

[pilottj]

in my fantasy dream world...all the developers got together and create super releases...full bells n whistles accusimmed Howard 500 would be crazy awesome. So would a full bells n whistles accusimmed Beech 18....and a Staggerwing...and a DO-335, and a Goose...and a Waco...yeah...ok I will wake up now :icon_lol: Ultimately tho I hope developers just make what they want.

[DaveQ]

Can I add a Voodoo and a Hun?? Oh and the definitive Starfire, the F-94C? And a bubble-top Thunderbolt? So many historic aircraft are missing we could go on for years...!!

But would any of them turn a profit??:kilroy:


DaveQ

[fsxar177]

...But would any of them turn a profit??...DaveQ

Exactly the reason why I mentioned this list as "payware". It would seem, that the time, money, and resources that go into the production of a FSX native aircraft, deems it absolute that it would have to be sold, to reimburse, those efforts. However, we all have freeware aircraft that can rival our purchased hangar. With that said, for the payware developers to pursue replicating an aircraft accurately, and realistically, with the quality that we seem to expect...it must be an effort toward something that will appeal to a large enough number of the FS community, to make that project worthwhile, otherwise these guys are out of work.

Joseph

[Naki]

Yak-3 and Seafury are on my wish list as is a FSX native DHC Chipmunk and P-40M/N. Thunder Mustang would be interesting too. Since a Sea Fury would appear to be in the pipeline I voted Yak-3

[PRB]

Well, I followed the instructions, and voted for the Cessna 170. :icon_lol: Can't have enough tail draggers.

[gradyhappyg]

On the list C-170 with bush variants and Twin Mustang.
Off the list finally getting my P 39 so Accusimmed B 29.

[greenie]

YES!! please please ...Sea Fury !!!!! .I have one ( sort of ) but an updated one would be great

180 or 200 hp lycoming with a constant speed prop would be nice too...

If you are up for it i have a creditcard waiting.

[PutPut]

The Cessna 170 has pulled into a tie with my favorite, the F-82, as I write this. That's OK, it will save me redoing my FS9 170 for FSX.

[fsxar177]

Good-day,
It has been interesting to follow the poll thus far. I'd have to second the opinions on the "Shark" lightweight sport. That is one hot little aircraft.

I don't happen to have a Twin Mustang hangin' out here with me, at the local strip. But the 170B is an affirmative: Maybe a base model like this, with some variations, would hit someone's happy button?

[SeanTK]

Well, if anyone is considering the Yak-3, there's a flight manual available here:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/nicoleon/Manuel_Yak-3.pdf

It's been translated (and reformatted with typed out text) from Russian to French.
Great graphics, with clear (albeit in French) descriptions.

[AussieMan]

Pity I can only vote for one aircraft. Would have loved to see the Yaks done.

Voted for the C-170.

Others I would like to see in native FSX:

F-82 as I am a huge fan of the Mustangs.

Sea Fury

Fokker F-27

SAAB 340

Beech 1900

Another request is that ALL models come complete with a paintkit.

[Felixthreeone]

Native FSX

F-5 (a good one..with all variants, modern and legacy)
S-3
E-2C
P-3....

Navajo
C195
C207
Cirrus w/ Garmin Perspective
Diamond Eclipse (not katana)
CitationII

[ericts]

170 for me on this list. I would love to see any of the Kinner powered Fleets for FSX.

[grunau_baby]

That list doesn´t do it for me;-))))

1. Ju 52
2. An-2
3. He 115
4. Fokker D-XXI
5. Brewster Buffalo

But that´s just me then...
Alex

[Flame-Prop]

Cannot say any in the list, however the good news is I do have one, it's the good old 1942 Boeing Stearman with A2A simulators standards which includes good old Accusim expansion for it. This is brilliant, great for flight training, great for flying, great for anything really if done well. So far every other Payware company has failed to created one that's good enough to remember it. I remember seeing it for the first time that movie Pearl Harbour I think.

Gabe :salute:

[tomford]

I would love to see a 170, especially on bushwheels floats and skis. we have a 172 on floats, so if you needed detailed pictures of the floats, i could get some, granted it not a 170, but it uses the same floats..


Tom

[fsxar177]

Good-day,
Do many of you C-170 fans have the Cessna 0-1/L-19 "Bird Dog" (http://www.sibwings.com/birddog.php) addition, by sibwings?

Joseph

[flyingip]

Yes, I at least, have the the Birddog, as this is the addon for FSX that comes the closest to a C170B. But it still is a different airplane!

[Ian Warren]

Jeez :kilroy:you people have the your alphabet stew around the wrong way .. its the B170 you want , its the packing

[b52bob]

We actually need a kc-135 with a/r capabilities. CS should revamp their 707 and release it. The dimensions are changed a little bit from the 707 but it should be minor work (this coming from someone who has no idea). Love to do some a/r with some of the new stuff out now.

Bob

[aeronca1]

5. Brewster Buffalo

I voted for the Yak series, but if the buffalo had been on the list, it would have received my vote. Especially if it included the Finnish versions.

[aeronca1]

Well, if anyone is considering the Yak-3, there's a flight manual available here:

It's been translated (and reformatted with typed out text) from Russian to French.

LOL, I hate to admit this as a Canadian, but is this available in the original Russian? My Russian is a little better than my French.

[dvj]

None of the above. We need a FSX B-58 on par with the Captn Sim B-52! :guinness:

There's one being done by David Butler of Glowingheat.co.uk. He did the original Alphasim one and is in the process of rebuilding it as FSX-native. It may be a while yet but it will arrive I'm sure. See this thread - http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?61761-More-Alphasim-re-releases

[flyingip]

A cessna 170 over the F-82???? No way.....besides there's already a 170 for FSX isn't there?
There are none. I don't even know a good one (maybe the alphasim one, but which is still very incomplete) for fs9
On top of that, we do already have a bunch of P51s .... :icon_lol:

[airattackimages]

C-2 Greyhound! A world class, nicely built one. One that rivals the best FS aircraft out there today. The only one out there is the Abacus flight deck variety.

[roger-wilco-66]

I couldn't bring myself to choose one of the options in the poll.

Personally, I'd like to see a few more high quality german WW2 aircraft. A Ju-88 would be nice, with extended technical system simulations like Aerosoft and A2a do.
I hope the Me-110 by Classics Hangar will go that way!

Cheers,
Mark

I must admit, a Warbirdsim-quality "Strega", or Vertigo Studios "Rare Bear" would be pretty glorious.

I'd like to see a USAF Cessna T-41A, B, C or D model Mescalero with the 210 hp Continental IO-360 w/constant-speed prop.

[William Njurmi]

None of the listed in the vote.

But, we´ve got Connies and Stratos for long range trips, so where are Convair 240-440 series short haulers? Preferably accu-simmed.

I could go with a Friendship as well.

[Tako_Kichi]

Six pages and 77 posts and nobody has even come close to mentioning the plane I've been sweating over for almost two years now (on and off). :crybaby:

If its a Chipmunk it would be att the top of my list (along with a P-40M/N)...didnt mention it because it wasnt one the aircraft listed

[fsxar177]

C'mon Larry, what is it? Chipmunk....really??

Joseph

[Tako_Kichi]

Not a Chippie unfortunately as I wouldn't want to steal Rick Piper's glory. I have seen pics of a fully FSX native one he was working on and it's superb. Unfortunately real life has prevented him from doing any development work recently.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread but mine is an American 4-seat GA, born at the end of WWII and originally designed/built by a famous company of some repute. They are still very much sort after to this day and at least one current company specializes in restoration work to bring them up to 21st century standards in terms of fit and finish.

[fsxar177]

Okay Larry,
Good one! What kind of Chipmunk devotee wouldn't like the NAA Navion! Of course, I guess I can't specify a particular variant, so maybe a later manufacturer would suit you better, but nevertheless, it's a good choice!

Joseph

[Tako_Kichi]

:applause::ernae::applause:

I plan on doing a late model first (but no glass cockpit...real gauges for me) then the L-17 type early model (two piece windows all round, original engine and minimal avionics) and finally (if there is enough interest) the Twin Navion.

[skyblazer3]

F-100! This is obviously the only aircraft that anyone would ever fly in FSX. The Hun was the first, last, and only aircraft that ever mattered in the real world - and it should be that way in the sim world as well. My god -- if we had a Hun -- I would be happy forever. Nothing is more beautiful, philosophical, intellectual, or important that the F-100. This was the real airplane, everything else is just an approximation of its greatness.

F-100 Super Sabre.

To hell with every other aircraft ever conceived. F-100 -- The only way to.

F-100 -- Our one true hero.

F-100 -- The best.

F-100 -- I would die to fly one.

F-100 -- I'd sell my soul to the devil for an F-100.

F-100 -- she crushes the hearts of men below her wheels, like a woman crossing the street in high-heels.

Saw this nice example while out and about last year (at W45, Luray Caverns, VA). Thus picture is for you Tako_Kichi. The pilot had nicely modified the plane with enhanced avionics, new interior and a bigger engine. A very nice example of the type.

Also, no bad feelings about the missing glass. I've got Rich S.' model for that.

I also would love to see a good quality payware Tonka Gr4, I think it's been much neglected over the years.

A lot of variables in configurations portrayed there. It is a versatile aircraft in many ways.

Joseph

[sinanziric]

I must say there are too few WWI planes, they were good, i would like to fly RED BARON! :)

How about AN-225, world biggest plane?

[flyingip]

Deffo the C170B. It has a way more sexy round tail and it has flaps that do actually work! (40 degrees semi fowler flaps) :)

Avsim, search "Antonov Ruth"

[tomford]

Deffo the C170B. It has a way more sexy round tail and it has flaps that do actually work! (40 degrees semi fowler flaps) :)


I agree. the cessna 170, had fabric wings, and the 170A had small flaps, i belive non fowler style flaps. 170B is the most popular, and had the most aviability of stc's, so you will see lots of different mods, for example the lycoming 0-360 with a MT composite constant speed prop 58987

Would you happen to know if he's doing a bubble canopy Canadian version? MAN, I sure hope so!!!
I didn't see a Canadian version and it was about 18 months or more ago when I saw the pictures. Rick has been through some RL issues and modelling has had to take a back seat. Hopefully he can get back to the multiple unfinished projects at some point in the future.

All are nice planes.
But the one i would like to see developed is this one.....
The Serversky AT-12 Guardsman

YB-35 gets my vote =) I really hope Piglet finishes his.

Hey their you go.....
XB-35, YB-35, YB-49.....Great lost birds....Or even a FSX version of the N9M

Looks like the Yak series is catching up a bit in the polls.

Unrelated to the Yakety-Yaks....I hope Tim Conrad is doing alright. I haven't seen anything from him in a while. Understandable if he's taking a break from FS modelling, but I know a few of us were really looking forward to the flying wing!

Aaand, for the record, I could really go for a well-done Antonov An-24, Sukhoi Su-25 (Frogfoot), or Yak-40. Basically, stuff that can get into the smaller fields!
