Will I get one or not? Got to say much as I love the new sim I really am desperate to try a lovely WWII legend in this superb environment. I see the Spitfire is a wip but recent claims that people prefer airliners or bush planes is disturbing.
Stay Safe
I wouldn't worry about that so much, SGS. Given Dino's extremely beautiful and very popular MB-339 i bet there's a good chance we'll even have a choice between a few carefully reworked, port-over warbirds before this years' xmas. Looking forward to the first DC-3/C-47 myself.Originally Posted by shotgunshack
Btw, don't you think 'Warbird for Christmas' is actually an oxymoron ?...

I think there will be more Turkeys than warbirds (and I don't mean for eating...).
As Microsoft won't allow aircraft with visible weapons on the Store the market is limited and we might have to look to our own resources for most.
Many people don't approve of imports...but I've got a dozen imported historic military aircraft that look brilliant and fly either well or at least OK.
Can't remember when I last flew a default plane...

What Microsoft allows in it's store is irrelevant. We will still be able to purchase them from the same vendors where we have always purchased them. The Dora for MSFS is being worked on as we speak. There were previews somewhere down the forums within the past week. Not to mention DC, besides Dino, is bringing his work here as well.
No weapons allowed! Does this include gun barrels?
True, what I was trying to suggest was that many developers will want the maximum exposure for their products and thus target the MS Store.
For sure some will be happy with a smaller market, haven't seen the Dora but AH's Spitfire 1a (.303's hidden in the wings behind red XMAS patches
DC suggested he was going to focus on WW-2 era props too for now, due to the deficiencies in the current SDK I think.

If i'd have the stamina i'd take our Turkey ( MAAM TBM/F) and flutter its feathers dry for use in MSFS...
Really ??.... Never heard of that... What about Gears, Halo, that sort of thing ? That's Microsoft too, right, loaded with weapons.. Remarkable.. Apart from the hypocrisy, no problem at all, is it.As Microsoft won't allow aircraft with visible weapons on the Store
Could the No Weapons statement only refer to only the MSFS Marketplace?

The "no visible weapons" thing is only for the MSFS Marketplace. That is because of the E rating. There is nothing stopping 3rd-party developers from releasing combat aircraft for MSFS, with weapons and all, on their own websites or through other vendor websites, and MS/Asobo openly encourages that as well. This has been covered in threads here already, and of course on the main MSFS Forum.

Jan Visser,
I am totally with you: Can't wait to have a DC-3/C-47 in my FS2o20 hangar.
Any maybe some others, like the Connie

We can confirm that the Spitfire and the DC3 are firmly in production. Timing at this stage? Sorry, I can't say just yet. Lots to do...
Oh on the subject of droppable loads, anyone wondered that the ruling might be because they are harbouring a "combat"version (CFS4?) for down the track? A sure-fire sitter for XBox....
Now you're gonna make me drool!
If I may humbly suggest... One version with a historically accurate flight deck, and another as might be seen in a restored model. The stock GNS530 with a basic autopilot could possibly be incorporated somehow. I'd not only pay money for that, but I'd fly the wings off of it!

Please could somebody do a C130 H,K,J I don't care . The sim world could do with a decent Herc.Any chance Aeroplane Heaven ???? I think Milviz had one planned for P3D , but I don't know what's happened to that. It would be great to see one in MSFS2020.
I can't finish this one in time for Christmas I'm afraid, unless somebody knows how to make time slow down, but she will be available in early 2021 ( Q1 ). Image taken in my modelling software of progress so far;

NOW we're talking!!
Please give it a good texture layout for painting!
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
I hope not. If I want a combat sim, I can go fly DCS. I just want to be able to fly actual combat aircraft anywhere in the world, in a similar manner to how they patrol now. I'm not looking to fly actual combat, as I did that online for years. I get enough stress at work, I don't need it from a sim as well, lol. I like the workable weapons for training. But if we can't have TacPack in MSFS, at least we can have some mil planes for those of us who enjoy flying them.We can confirm that the Spitfire and the DC3 are firmly in production.

Hi Dean, we find that with the Panaristi models being good, his pilots are a tad on the small side. Also on the P47 here, there are a few details he's got wrong.
The pilot was an easy fix, I noticed it pretty quickly. The worst thing about conversions is usually the texture mapping, but this one's spot on, fortunately. Onward
Actually, new Eagle Squadron pilots used to say they had to unbuckle and run around the cockpit for evasive action in combat!The pilot was an easy fix, I noticed it pretty quickly. The worst thing about conversions is usually the texture mapping, but this one's spot on, fortunately. Onward
Having stood next to a couple of restored P-47's, I can attest to their rather large size. When they first deployed to England, RAF pilots did not believe they were fighters due to their gargantuan proportions as opposed to the petite Spitfire and Bf-109.
My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
They are big but in the model that Dean has chosen to use for his project , the pilot's head is smaller than the gunsight !
If you look into other models from this modeller ( not Dean but the original modellers ) you'll see it's an issue for other subjects as well.But Dean has said he is going to make the changes that are required here and in other areas of the model so thumbsup.
