Giving back to Developers: Name just one desired airliner for them to turf

There is already a good looking BOAC addon for the sim, but not for the new FS2020 (yet).

And yes the Tupolev 95 Bear would truly be one interesting plane and something new and exciting.
The Bear is a typical DCS plane but unfortunately we well never get a Tu95 or C-130 or something like that in DCS because everyone is just interested in fighting only and not in flying, that´s why there will never be transport or cargo planes in DCS. But someone will probably make the Bear-D for the Flight Sim 2020 (and I am sure it has perfect deicing and heating on board!)

@ SkyVagrant4490: The Boeing 757 has the most sleek aerodynamic and beautyful looking airframe from all Boeings ever made. It just looks good and has a wonderful cockpit (I know this plane from old CaptainSim days and had the 757/767 for FSX, and it was wonderful.)

LOL @heating and deicing for a Russian plane. :wink:

I do remember the ol’ CaptainSim 757 but after getting their 767 I never really got enthusiastic about CaptainSim. Much of the criticism they have faced recently was actually already somewhat true to my opinion. I thought the flight dynamics felt quite off and I never really could figure out why they would leave their products so unfinished with regards to a dysfunctional FMC. I did like their 707 and 727 though! But I guess those were just less complex to produce.

So mehhh, they were out of the league for me after that initial 767 and I never returned.

But it was the only development team making a 707, 727, 757 and 767 - for unknown reasons all these Boeings are 100% ignored since two decades by every third party development team.
We got THREE 777 (Level D, Captain Sim, PMDG), two or three Jumbo-Jets (PMDG, Just Flight and another team), and I assume we will get five 737 in a few years :smiley: while still all other Boeings keep being fully ignored.
That´s why the 757 is so special, it just looks awesome and flies great And no one is interested in making one as third party aircraft…

Yes I think over at PMDG they’re very aware of hangar-utility or so to say. So they got a “short hauler” in the 737, a long hauler in the 777 and the 747 for just being so darn iconic (I never say darn but the other word gets censored here :stuck_out_tongue: )

I’m just hoping this new platform is indeed easier to be programming with (after the little buggs getting out of the way, of course) and after that the flood gates will open for aaaallll the rest. Starting with that 757. :wink:

Wasn’t the LevelD Boeing a 767?

Yeah that one too, which was a lot better but with pretty bad 2d panels and very tiny cockpit textures.

777x or 777 :slight_smile:

I do like the looks of that Saab 340 Amarks but the Carenado modelling of the flight dynamics… I don’t know. Was it just too quick a job? Or does the plane really flies like a brick that way? I wasn’t crazy about its flight dynamics. Pushing forward on the yoke and I would push close to a forward looping on it.

Saab 340 and md80. I love modern planes but we already have some of those. I dislike retro planes but i love those in-between so yeah those are my preferences.

A VC-10 or DC-10 would be fantastic both in study levels. Be nice to see a Martin Canberra but the later version with the fighter style tandem cockpit layout.

Grumman goose (or any non ultralight seaplane) P-3 or a B-52

I guess you could use one of them for airliners,The others are just military types!

A Catalina would be amazing! Or even a Dornier Do 24.

The goose and the P3 (dc3 i believe) are used as airliners, the b-52 well …

I could be wrong but I don’t think the B-52 has ever been used as an airliner. The P-3 was developed from the Lockheed L-188 Electra which wouldn’t be a bad pick for an airliner though.

No it wasnt, I just miss flying the B52 in the dirt at top speed to go ‘visit’ a cold war enemy(ies). The first real sim I ever flew (back in the 60’s) was a 50’s B52 simulator at the museum in Dayton Ohio, my uncle and dad would take me and my brother there a couple of times a year, along with other members of uncle’s real life crew and their kids and they used to teach us how to fly the B52, my uncle used to joke ‘this way if they happen to get us we have you kids to retaliate!’ Bwhahahaha.

Boom Overture. Preferably developed in some degree of co-operation with the Boom Supersonic company, to be able to use the company’s own 3D model and some (suitably redacted) primary source information about the cockpit panel, instruments, and performance.

I want the C-17 Gloabmaster III please. It’s joy to fly, takes off loaded fast, lands like a feather. Don’t care to haul people, they are way too much trouble, cargo is quieter, and troops are also quieter as well, always tired, sleep when in plane. Virtavia has one, but he has it for sale to developer, I cannot fathom how to convert to MSFS, hopefully someone will.

For me it would be the plane that gave me my biggest thrill - The Bristol 175 Brittannia Turboprop (aka The Whispering Giant).
This was the plane I first flew in, in 1963!
