A Poll, FSX Freeware Aircraft Wish List

***fallenphoenix1986*** · July 11th, 2013, 16:25

I'll second the Grumman Cougar.

Wouldn't mind a Sea Harrier FA.2. Ron (Razbam) made some noise a while ago about small wing Harriers and had previews of an early stage GR.1/AV-8A so fingers crossed.

This one needs some attention.

I would very much like to hear from all of you on this subject but with the caveat that it must be military or used in some capacity by the military and is no longer in service.

Let the poll begin,

Aero 45 was developed and produced for the Czechoslovak Army as a courier plane. I would be very happy if it was made in FSX.
Thanks.

If you went with a boxcar Paul, I'd stand up and offer to help with the textures! (And offer you my first born child)

There is a native fsx B-26 in the library here. (freeware)

Grumman F3F-2 would be an excellent choice, both for modeling and as an addition to the FSX hangar. I also wish people would stop judging the Defiant through post-war lenses: the thing was built to knock down bombers and was sent up against fighters because we needed all the guns in the air that could be found. It is reckoned the Defiant destroyed more enemy aircraft than any other British type in the winter of 40/41, but you don't read that in the Daily Mail etc.

Chipmunk! Chipmunk! Chipmunk!

It is a true shame we don't have a great DHC-1 in FSX; but, of course, anything is very welcome.

**Sylvanriv** · July 12th, 2013, 06:44

What I would love to see is an early B-52, anything from the XB and YB-52 to the B-52 F. There's a surprising lack of the early ones out there...

Failing that, either an F-86D or an F-89 would be great!

Cheers,
Sylvan

i'm sure i've seen one of them hanging in an airport terminal somewhere on my travels.... *scratches head*

...Edit, thinking about it it could have been Prague...

I remember seeing one of these Aero 45's painted up as an ersatz He-111 in FlyPast magazine years ago. It haunted the British air show circuit for several years; don't know if it's still active or still wearing a pseudo-Luftwaffe scheme...

Pay attention everybody. This is the way to request a model and influence the judge (me). All the reference needed for a model, photos, instrument panel and 3-view plans.
Well done Jozef!

Oh well, you can keep your snotty nosed brats and I'll consider this a vote for the C-119.

LOL!!! I was being greedy, but hey anything you decide will be great!

**TeaSea** · July 12th, 2013, 15:36

Fun thread, regardless of whether you build anything or not!

Me too (being greed that is). I just hope someday to see a FSX native "Tweety Bird."

I'll go for the Chipmonk too !

We already have a Mr. Stolle air file for it .

Paul , since you say you are learning some techniques , well, the Chipmonk was/is a great trainer .

aerobatic too .

Its a lovely flyer and the FS9 version, whilst good, badly needs a renovation.

***huub vink*** · July 13th, 2013, 01:48

Paul, thank you for this generous offer. Although I certainly have my personal prefeences, I decided to be happy with anything you make.

Asking for something would feel me obliged to fly it. As I ave already too many virtual aircraft just dusting away in my virtual hanger, reality tells me I don't have the time to fly it and even when I would, it would cause me to neglect other great model with a solid grey layer of dust on them.

As said a great offer, but I decided to show my less greedy side

Cheers,
Huub

***Bushpounder*** · July 13th, 2013, 02:50

Piper Aztec and Navajo!!!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your not going to get out of it that easy Huub! I'm going to let the vote count run through the weekend and then post the results. There are 5 aircraft tied for first place and a vote from you could break that tie. I'm depending on you to at least vote.
If not we are all going to make ugly faces at you.
