What do we want see or need in Fs9 in 2020?

[Shessi]

Hi Folks,
I'm only asking as I know you're a broad minded lot, erring mostly on the Golden/WWII/Cold war eras, but a wish/need/want list would be good to get the 'juices' going. Also maybe stimulate others into 'having a go', helping on joint projects etc....

New aircraft, re-makes of older models, airfields, scenery, vehicles, repaints.........


So come on then?.....

Cheers

My first thoughts would be a Ju-88 and a Wyvern. We have some good models of these from Kevin M and Ito-san, but they are old. I would also like to see some what-if repaints for these, especially the Wyvern.

Here's hoping,
Ro

[HorusJ]

Top on my list would be a new Seversky P-35!
And second maybe a new Ju 87B and/or R.

[Motormouse]

Thinks..... an IL-2, a DHC-5, a Shin-Meiwa US-1 (amphibian), a scenery for Wildenwrath... that will do for starters

... from 'Shessi-Works' Upgrade of the Whitley with radials and belly-turret, Vildebeest Mk.IV with crew and weapons, please, please, please
and some more a/c from the inter-war periode Fairey Hendon, HP Heyford, the Fairey Fox family, Fairey IIIF, Fairey Firefly, the misssing members of Ted Cooke's Hawker family (Turret-Demon, Hector) and some really ugly birds Avro Bison, Blackburn R1 and a carrier e.g. HMS Argus

A Northrop YC-125 Raider! It's so ugly it's cool.

Hi, The Kawasaki P-1 would be a wonderful addition to FS9.

Good health and a Happy New Year to all

Andy.

Nice ideas, might consider some, but they are not well documented as far as i can see at the moment, so there would be a lot of guesswork cockpit & instrument wise, as well as flying qualities.

German airfields and Russian aircraft. And plenty of them

[darrenvox]

not sure...lets find out!!

[Hurricane91]

Polikarpov I-185 (with Shvetsov M-82).

Screenie of the excellent IL-2 model.

[zswobbie1]

An AN-2, or two.. There some interesting observer models, as well as skeleton fuselage models out there..

An updated AN-2 can be found at Russian Avsim site,

Korean War era Yaks and Lavochkins!!!! Also any Egyptian version of the Bu 181/Czech Zlín Z.381, the Gomhouria.

[zswobbie1]

Hi Pete, there's an AN-2 with an additional observer cabin, that will be great to have. The AN-3 is a Turbo prop version of an AN-2.

Yes, but you're talking about those that have been created for that other sim

[Shessi]

Some great ideas, and that's the spirit, get the grey matter thinking out loud!

Stoney, Ha ha about An2's. Stoney that YC125 look's like an An2 that's had a very hard-arsed landing, and bent something, and yes it's ugly. But so are those An2 models the others are talking about!

Re Kawa P1, I suppose you want the jet version and not the Lock P-3C?

Udo/Gwrfan, Hey! your first post in 7 years..thank you. And funny you should mention the Whitley MkI/II/III, as it was a to-do when I did the MkV and VIIs, so just maybe........ And I do like those inter-war ac, from all countries...again food for thought.

Ro, Hor, as you know well my liking for Axis ac. I have the Alphasim Ju87D source files, and I've been thinking of an Anton model. Also the re-doing the Ju88 is definitely up there, as I've done/doing the others in the family.

Huub, have to agree with you about German airfields, Papi would also agree. Maybe ask the mud-movers like Ian Elliot to get involved (if he would like to, that is!) or at least start something off?


One definative thing I'm getting from Fs9 and CFS2-ers, is Russian, French and Italian ac. Pre-war, WWII and just after period...some interesting and available stuff out there...so we'll see.


But keep this dialog coming, also how about a poll on a few things?


Cheers

Hi @Shessi !
I have lots of Orions and think they're all great; I happened across a photo of the Kawasaki P1 recently and it looked really purposeful - a smallish body and 4 jets It has a glass cockpit which is not completely as I would fit my own out, but it's still a great looking plane!
Cheers,
Andy.

Anyone for the Beriev A-40/Be-42 Albatross?

Yes! Absolutely!

Happy new year to everyone!

I don't know if it's commonly known but Pilatus aircraft has a dedicated webpage for modelplans, so if you're curious and happy to look here's the link to:

One ............

Shessi,

Ian is now active in FSX and I don't think he is still developing for FS9. In the past I already been in contact with Cees Donker, who offered his help, but so far my attempts to master Airport Design Master has not resulted in anything useful.

About Russian aircraft: I always liked the racy looks of a Mig-3. The model by one of the Lindell brothers done for cfs2 is the last one I can recall..... Perhaps time for a new one

Cheers,
Huub

[Shessi]

Hi Huub,
Re-MiG, as and when ha ha!.....

Personally I'm not in the business of doing ac just to please the masses. Having said that, there have been some good ideas, and if I can combine a like for doing an ac along with other peoples likes, then so much the better!!

There is so much to do or re-do, that it would take several lifetimes of modelling.... I just wish others had or wanted the required skills to do things, but unfortunately there are less and less people. I'm not complaining, as I love it, but would be nice.....

Re-Ian E, yes I know he errs on the side of FSX, but as I said, give him a nudge, tempt him, even if he starts something off, 'we' can finish it.

Cheers

Long time ago this was available, SkyUnlimited - Mikoyan-Gurevich Mig-3, and it is a little dated today but still makes for 'interesting' flights.
No idea where Jesse went but I think he found commercial FS work unable to pay a living wage.
Shame as he produced some different subjects.

[zswobbie1]

Shessi, how about a tri-motor turbo DC-3?

Lol...
Just asking for a friend.
