FSX Addon Aircraft in Development

[SeanTK]

Here's a list of all FSX-native addon aircraft in development, either freeware or payware, as of March 24, 2013, that I know of.
Please add to it if you do not see something listed.
Tried to add a development team name when 100% known, and a website as evidence.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the list of add-on FSX Native aircraft in development. The list will be updated by Sean. Thanks for any information and help.

One hell off a list , the JU-87 and Bf-110 are most sort after for the WWII warbirds ... strange how the AESL Airtourer has taken so long since it was near finished this time last year . <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setT imeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

[AusWilko]

BIG list, thanks for doing it

wonder how big it would be if filtered by what will be released in the next 3 months.

[danielm]

Maybe a McDonnell Douglas F-15

My friends in St Louis would give you a strange look.

Thanks for the list :applause:

Best

Dan

Thanks for the fix!

[SeanTK]

Fixed the F-15 entry. Wasn't thinking, my apologies. (though Lockheed is modernizing the Saudi ones)

[airattackimages]

It would be nice if A2A would do an F-4...

[deeknow]

Great stuff Sean, thanks for sharing.
One thing you might wanna add, the CLS guys mentioned in their newsletter today that the CLS 742/3 update is being reworked and will be FSX native on release

[Ferry_vO]

Great list, some intersting aircraft on it..

Won't hold my breath for the Su-25/39 because it may take a while, but the An-2 Colt (Either one), Super Sabre, Trojan, Fw190D and B-45 Tornado are the most interesting for me, maybe the F-15C too..

[dandog]

What the?!!! Time to divorce the wife and sell the kids! There's no way I have enough time to fly all of the awesome aircraft heading our way!

[Naki]

Interesting list ..didn't know about the Zlin - would be nice to see a Zlin 242

A2A Cessna 172? (and Piper Cherokee/F-4/F104 but there are no pictures I know of those)

[SeanTK]

Added the A2A 172, Cherokee, and Starfighter.

Also, PMDG talked a while ago about a Dash-8-Q200/300, but that was placed on the "back burner" so I left it off since no-one knows if it'll ever be done.
Finally, I had a rumor regarding the Samdim An-24 series regarding another party taking up VC tasks in order to get a fully featured FSX-native model out, but I have not heard further, so I left that off as well.

[Roger]

Great thread Sean...good work!

[mike_cyul]

Isn't someone doing a P-40N?


Mike

[heywooood]

Isn't someone doing a P-40N?


Mike

that would be you sir...

and Alabeo still has the Beech Staggerwing in production

[N2056]

I'd venture to say it's not exactly an all-encompassing list. :kilroy:

[heywooood]

I'd venture to say it's not exactly an all-encompassing list. :kilroy:


but it is a good start and a great idea to be able to see all aircraft in development in one place:mixedsmi:

[Kiwikat]

Qualitywings- BAE-146 (adding to the existing Avro RJ pack)
PMDG- 747-400 v2
Flight1/Coolsky/McPhat- DC-9F (I think it is an addon to the existing DC-9)
FlightSimLabs- Airbus A320
Marcel Felde- Pilatus PC-6 Porter
Realair- Cessna 172
Lotus Simulations- Falcomposite Furio

[Timbohobo]

DC3 - Vertigosim :sheep:

[Naki]

How could I forget some of the others especially Mike's P-40N


Lotus Simulations- Falcomposite Furio

Really? That is one my favourite homebuilts...a Kiwi one at that....time to head over to the Lotus forums..

[SeanTK]

If you have something to add, simply state it....without the cocky, coy, sarcastic, or any form of "attitude".
It was quickly typed out to get a start going, and if accidentally leaving off someone's baby when trying to build an extensive list is an excuse here to have a snippy attitude, then the list will be deleted as to not cause further "offense".
I'll work on adding those addons directly identified by name/author, and those which have a web source to back up the claim (I can look up the latter).

EDIT: Going to re-compile into a Google Docs spreadsheet within the next couple of days so I'll hold off on in-thread/original post updates until that is up and running.

[skyhawka4m]

Interesting list ..didn't know about the Zlin - would be nice to see a Zlin 242

A2A Cessna 172? (and Piper Cherokee/F-4/F104 but there are no pictures I know of those)


I agree the 242 is very sporty

[N2056]

If you have something to add, simply state it....without the cocky, coy, sarcastic, or any form of "attitude".


Sorry If you took it that way. Really.

[SeanTK]

All, please continue posting any aircraft you know about that you don't see mentioned in the original list or by others here, and I'll add them to a spreadsheet within the next day or two at the most, which will then be linked here.

Preferably state the following:

Aircraft type (manufacturer & model as specific as you can be)
Author/Development Team
One link with evidence beyond "rumor" and beyond a developer stating that they "hope to build one down the road".


Thanks! Hopefully this list will become comprehensive or nearly so in the coming weeks! :)

I like your idea. My earlier reply was in fact not very reasonable, and again, for that I truly apologize. I just returned from a multi-day road trip that was for my Mother-in-Law's memorial service, and I'm not exactly my normal self. I offer the following additions for your list...all of these are my projects and have threads on them here at SOH. If you are not aware already from my previous releases, my real name is Robert Kerr.

Northrop P-61B Black Widow (long term project)
Long Midget Mustang (nearly complete, some beta testing in progress)
Globe Swift (in early development phase)

Completely understood Mr. Kerr. I have indeed been following your projects, and I'm surprised that I forgot to mention them since I've been consistently tracking them. I guess it was a situation where I was more concerned about covering the obscure projects rather than the ones that I've known about for quite a while and have read about almost daily!
They will be added to the spreadsheet list during its creation. :)

All, thanks for the input so far! I haven't tallied things yet, but we certainly have an abundance of aircraft coming to us over the next couple of years!
I may be hesitant to list an aircraft unless I see a link with screenshots or a progress statement from someone positively identified as a developer....so...again, I can't go off of rumors.
Also, I am still debating about aircraft upgrades and aircraft "variations"....case in point the CLS 747, the IRIS C-27, PMDG 747, and some others. Others like the consistent Warbirdsim Mustang packages I'm not even sure how to classify. If it's a "from the ground up" addon, then it definitely goes on the list...but if it's "mostly upgraded" or "somewhat upgraded" then I don't know yet.

[Naki]

Mike's already sorted this for me -- great service!...there is a thread at the Lotus forums about the Furio...I cant wait for this one.:jump:

[SeanTK]

Sundog, this list is for FSX only / FSX-native aircraft, and I didn't see anything obvious saying that Shupe's model was.
Also, the Dash-8 was already on my list in the original post. :)

[Hughes-MDflyer4]

The original post should be corrected to link to the TFDi Design 717 instead, as it was originally their project. I can't see FSDG making anything better than TFDi's.

Superb list SeanTK thank you for compiling!

I got rather excited at seeing the Vickers VC-10 from Just Flight listed but I can't see any development info on their forum or Facebook page... Am I missing something?

[mike_cyul]

Don't forget Warbirdsim's upcoming P-39 Aeracobra, plus I think John mentioned there are some other aircraft in the works there (sorry, can't find the thread).

Technically its not yet in-development so there is no page for it yet. The photos on our FB page are from a research trip which encompassed several military aircraft.

[Bomber_12th]

Thanks Mike! I didn't want to say anything as I'd imagine there to be some reluctancy to add it to the list until some recent progress was posted on it again. As of now, and until it is completed, the P-39 Airacobra is the primary focus, and updates will start to be posted again in April.

[Dave Torkington]

Thanks for the reply Martyn. 'Not yet in development' is good enough for me!

Mastercard is on standby for the Tristar and the VC-10 would be a must have too.

Kiwikat already mentioned the Pilatus Porter which Marcel Felde develops for Aerosoft. The last screenshot was in November showing the first exterior pic (hard to find as it's in Aerosoft's Katana subforum):

http://forums.tfdidesign.com/index.php?/topic/137-our-position/#entry372

Both groups are claiming that they are working on the 717 independently then, so should I make two entries?

Regarding other aspects of the list, working on it now, thanks for the input everyone!

Lionheart's Fairchild was on the original post if you look closer, and I'll be sure it's added to the spreadsheet!

[jetstreamsky]

A VC-10 in FSX, excellent! I hope it makes the jump into incoming :jump:

[krazycolin]

We will be working with TFDI Design on their 717...

please remove the AH-1W from the list. We are canceling the project. If anyone is interested in picking up the fully fsx compatible (prepped) model, please contact me via pm. Serious takers only please.

Thanks,

Oh, right. I did miss the Q-400 there and I keep forgetting Milton's planes are port overs unless someone makes them FSX specific like his S-2 series.
I'm still excited about them, none the less, and thanks for putting this list together. :)

[Daveroo]

ok i wasnt going to say anything but i have to......dude..thanks for this list..i hope it gets stickied and stays like the freeware and payware lists...this is a great way to stay abreast of whats out there in the pipeline..also..i do have to ask..on projects like the JU-87 Stuka..it seems its been idle for a few years.unless i dont know how to read that forum...but is there a way to know if its been writen off or still being worked on?

That's a good question. When I quickly wrote the initial list, for some of the addons, I recalled some sort of discussion related to the addon in question in recent months on a flightsim forum on any one of the larger FS sites...I just haven't had time to find a more recent source. I know that the Stuka is occasionally brought up here at SOH with a few status updates, but I have not dug into that yet. Basically, it ended up being me finding somewhat recent news about a product, or recognizing that within the past year, something has been said about a development. If a product is confirmed to be abandoned, like the MilViz Cobra, then it will be removed....but I want to keep even the "older" developments up in case they do come around again unless the developer specifically says that it's cancelled. :)

Thanks for your work SeanTK, it's much better to use Google doc's for viewing and maintaining!

I don't like to ask because it entails more research but... could a 'release date' column be added? Even if it had 'Q3 2013' for example or 'Unknown' it'd help us all [even developers] but especially us customers to prepare for lashing out the cash.

I read something a number of months ago saying that each developer was doing one. Not sure if that has changed.

EDIT: List updated through CurlSnout's entry.

Regarding a column for estimated release date...I think that would cause a bit of trouble and numerous disagreements, but I'll consider it if someone has a good case for it.

Addons that are released will have their entries visibly crossed out for a few days, followed by the row's deletion a short time later.

When MV and ND "split" (amicably) on the chopper side of things, we decided to do a 407. Unbeknownst to us, they had also decided to do one. We were well on our way when their announcement was made... so.. not sure what they're doing but ours is nearly done.

Glowingheat is making FSX version of B-58 (Oh boy I wait that:running:). According to Glowingheat forum comment it is pretty much different and redone from FS9 version and far from simple portover. Definitely should be on the list :mixedsmi:

[deeknow]

Hey Sean. Great list mate. Another one to add is the Alabeo P38 Tomahawk, see: http://www.facebook.com/Alabeo

Be good to see this maintained over time, maybe create another column showing the announcement date, and maybe another sheet called "Shipped" that we can move aircraft to once their out, be interesting to look back on over time.

[PRB]

Isn't Vertigo Studios working on an early model B-25? They were, at some point. Hope they still are!

[SeanTK]

Updated 3/29/2013 with the following:



Flight Replicas Me-262 added
Alabeo Tomahawk added
Virtavia B-45 put into red (recently released) status
Just Flight Tristar entry removed
Captain Sim Tristar entry added
Glowingheat B-58 added
RAZBAM Helldiver added


I'm holding off on the Vertigo B-25 until we see their forums & developments back in action. The latest news I'm finding on the B-25 is from 2010.


There are approximately 80 aircraft in development at this time for FSX! Wow!

you might want to add Metal2Mesh/Razbam are co-developing(50/50) a MiG-29 and Tornado GR-4.

Updated with the MiG and Tornado.

[VinFlyer]

Anyone here who knows something about a F/A-18C being in development? I remember seeing some early in progress pictures of it about a year ago (might have been longer). If I recall correct it was done by Iris, but can't find anything about it over there. So it might also have been Milviz, Razbam, M2M, or ....?

Following a link on the Metal2Mesh facebook page, I read that the Mirage2000/C is cancelled...

Here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=476499842422223&set=a.145154028890141.35833.143676605704550&type=1&relevant_count=1

Shame... not only for Sundog...

Don't people make silly jokes on April 1st in Germany? Here is another one posted yesterday in their FB by Razbam Sims:

"RAZBAM Killing all the entertaiment military projects (FSX, P3D and DCS) and moves forward into the defense industry as a simulator content provider. This means that from today on, all our scheduled projects (military) will be treated as such and wont be available to general public.."

[Stefano Zibell]

Why isn't the Restauravia Mirage III on the list? Has it been cancelled?

[Firekitten]

Probably because nobody remembered to suggest it... rather than an evil plot to cancel it covertly.

[Stefano Zibell]

Well I just did then. Only asked because in general, french devs are not very keen on releasing progress updates. If it got cancelled, very few people would know about it.

[Firekitten]

Firstly... smartass? uncalled for.


Secondly, I was being serious... its probably not in the list because untill you, nobody had mentioned it. That simple.

Remarks like that are uncalled for, and unwelcome here. Perhaps you should review the terms of service.

[Naki]

What about the Vertigo Mosquito and B-25 - have these been canned?

[papab]

How about Dino's Cattaneo's S-3 Viking unless I missed it on the list

From his blog site:

"After a long evaluation, I've finally started working on the S-3 Viking... I have not decided yet if it will be an S-3A or an S-3B, and I am struggling to find the best way to generate good base textures... but it is definitely a very interesting machine.As you know, aircraft development in FSX is a quite complex and long process.. so it will take months before I'll have anything to share.
I think I had gathered all the pictures I could find on the web...but should you have interesting Viking pictures to share (especially for the interiors), they'd be welcome."

Sorry about that, had a bad day.

Wasn't there another phantom in the works. I remember it was handed on to another party to finish off, the search thingee seems broke for me or I'd find it

I guess that would be the Flying Stations Phantoms, indeed it's not on the list (yet).

Please do a bubble top variant!!!

[Yob]

I don't know if the mark 9 had a bubble top but if you can show me there was one. We may discuss but may not eventuate. But the product will be like WBS with all different types and similar quality to VRS, PMDG or A2A.

Cheers

[N2056]

I believe that one of the requirements to get on the list is to have some sort of reference link to the project. A thread somewhere, or website, or something.
Perhaps you could be a little less mysterious?

At the risk of sending this thread on a debate mired in the confusing world of different Spitfire Marks, most low back Merlin powered Spitfires were Mark XVIs, although there were a few MK-IX low backs built. If you were making a Mark IX, a Mark XVI low and high back wouldnt be that hard as the only real difference is the engine (Packard Merlin v RR Merlin). Of course there were different wing, gun and fin configurations of all Marks which complicates the issue further.

Here's a thread at Brittmodeller with a pic of a low back Mark IX.

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234933205-spitfire-mkixe-low-back/

[Yob]

Thanks Naki. We will look into it. In-fact Spitfire marks aren't that confusing here are some things that differ.

Engine (Merlin 66 or XX or other types.)
Vertical Stabilizer,Rudder (there were three different types from what i can find.)
Horizontal Stabilizer, elevator ( 2 types )
Wings (A type trough E type) Wing types corresponded with armament types for instance MK VB means Mark 5 with b type wing which is 2 hispano cannons and six browning machine guns.
Cowling (numerous for all Marks most confusing thing)
Wheels (went from 5 spokes to 3)
Radiator went from 1 too 2

Then other production improvements like flush riveting and other ones like IFF and other stuff. In-fact i can almost tell most about a spit now by seeing it (provided it's a Picture not a painting ;) Ian)

Problems - I have not been able to find info on the Flying Station's Phantoms. Additionally, I cannot find info after 2010 regarding the Vertigo B-25.
As I specified earlier in this thread, I need evidence. I will accept word of mouth if it's from the developer directly, as in the recent "Yob Spitfire" case.

[AusWilko]

Thank you for a top job in doing this

[Rattler]

If im not mistaken Iris is doing a F-14 aswell soo why no mention?

[Flyboy208]

Sean, forgive me if I have not looked at every page of this great thread, any news out there on Michal Puto's PZL Orlik ? Mike :salute:

[SeanTK]

If im not mistaken Iris is doing a F-14 aswell soo why no mention?

It wasn't on the list because nobody mentioned it to me (unless I missed it earlier).
As I seemingly keep having to say, missing entries are not malicious.

Also, as I seemingly keep having to say....provide evidence.
I am aware of Iris' pre-existing F-14, but have not been able to find info on a current F-14 development from them. I have looked on their website and Facebook.


All,
When you are submitting entries, I need at least....at least....at least....a link to see for myself, if you are not the developer. If you are, just let me know what you're making.
The fields I will enter are: FS Developer, Aircraft Manufacturer, Aircraft Model, Aircraft Type, Payware/Freeware, Reference URL.

I need less "Isn't aircraft X in development?" and "why isn't x on here?". I don't know...is it in development? Show me.
I need "Sean, developer Y is making aircraft X, see this link for reference".

Mike,
I haven't heard anything about the Orlik in a while. I vaguely recall a thread here a few months ago where it was brought up, but I do not think that positive progress was made at that time. I'll be happy to add it if someone can provide evidence of recent development. :)

Freeware designers for the most part are not making real native airplanes because

The learning curve is steep. Most people started with FSDS then graduated to gMax and some on to Max and now there are other CAD programs such as Blender that are being used. Then there is a paint program to master and the techniques needed for your textures. Add to that C++ or XML gauge programming and don't forget the flight dynamics in the CFG and AIR files. And what about that sound file and then some special effects? And there is all the research time and in some cases monies involved to get the information needed for the model.

All these things have been around since before FSX and now P3d but what has happened is the "Sim Community" has become jaded. We want the more highly detailed, high complexity models that FSX allows.

For an individual designer, especially someone just starting out this can be extremely daunting and takes far more dedication then most are willing or able to give towards a hobby.

Payware companies have teams of several people and a monetary incentive.

Hummm? I wonder why there are very few freeware FSX native aircraft?

I agree we're just 4 guys and the occasional consultant. Its part time work as we are all otherwise engaged with other real life activities. Although we are payware, we try to do a freeware a year and do it because we enjoy it. (for the most part)

Really nice to see a Thunderstreak for FSX. That's the sort of plane I didn't expect a payware dev would consider.

Think I'll be purchasing that one.

....MilViz is doing a T-33...

As for the F-84-- excellent....just give us an option for two external tanks and no other pylons (one under each wing, vs. the two on each wing shown in the screenies--since one under each wing was the most standard configuration-- in fact, don't EVER recall seeing any with two under each wing....)! Too bad about the RF-, but I guess that's how it goes.

Hi,
As for our other products,you will be able to load a mix of ordnance under wings (and belly,for JATO rockets). With the payload configurator,you have the real time update for external loads,drag index and weight.The four tank layout was just an example!

I think the modeling and mapping was done and I was working on the XML stuff when I left it.


Also, once I'm done with the bloody manual and other bits, I think I'm going to make my 737-200 FSX native. Might want to add that, too.
