My list:
1. Blade erosion simulation in the J33's compressor, down to vapor-droplet accuracy.
2. That subtle, almost inaudible change in engine whine when you roll about 0.25° while in a -2.226G dive. Get the numbers right, it doesn't happen under any other condition!
3. A helmet from John Doe's training flights in 1958. Standard issue, but had a large scratch running from just about ear-height on the left side all the way to the back.
4. "No switch" mode. A military trainer aircraft is much too complex for me and I just can't wrap my head around that weird "Battery-fuel valve-engine starter" concept.
5. "Student pilot" mode who also flies the plane. He's fresh of the theory, so he should be able to wrap his head around the REALLY perilous handling characteristics of this bird much better than me!
6. A canadian version with maple syrup filled door seals.
7. Drop tanks. You know, these interim models of which only about three dozen or so were produced? Yeah, the look like the ones from the P-80, but taper not quite as hardly (about a 0.005% difference) at the back.
8. Differences between production runs. I've heard that the 1957 wing fastening bolts offered a 0.21% increase in wing stability and thus pushed the critical mach number up by 0.0005. I want that represented in the FDE.
9. Speaking of FDE and flying, you know how the EGT would always be a bit above what it should be on a monday? Yeah? I bet that'd make two more people buy this one! Also, it's supposed to not start up on the first try after a full moon night.
10. Cockpit lighting should be bright enough that I can still slobber about all the details on that Marylin Monroe photo (that is of course mandatory on the instructor's panel) at night while not too bright so that I won't give my position away to one of these dreaded commies on the ground that have certainly infiltrated my country!
11. "Sloppy crew chief mode" with covers and safety pins that appear randomly in flight (and of course make the corresponding aircraft system fail).
12. Accounting for "Mexican Food Night" that was customary on wednesdays back when I was stationed at Freedom AFB from 2/65 to 4/69. Implementation could be via sound bits that randomly exclaim "*Pfffffrt*", "Sorry!" and "Ewww, what's that smell?!"
13. TACPACK support. No purchase without this one! But I want to strap LGBs and nukes on the wings because the only way to deal with a dirty communist on the range is to blow him back into the stone age. Also, didn't you know that the T-33 could be used as a real bomb truck? Not even the F-4 came close!
14. An installer for FSX, FSXSE, P3D 1.4, P3Dv2, X-Plane, FlightGear and every other installment of MSFS back to FS4.
15. Absolutely no frame rate drop and OOM with this bird, regardless of how many strain simulations you're runnning on each wing panel!
16. A price tag of $-5. Hey, after all, my suggestions ensure that the model will become a real winner!
