The developers are going to get a list of 200 different types at this rate.

@CRIDAFOCA, can you provide screenshots of your previous VR model/cockpit work?

I don’t think I would be interested in any of those tbqh other than maybe the Cessna. I prefer GA and vintage, but not sure what I would suggest.

@ OP:
Three questions for you:

  • Are you a commercial company or community developer?
  • Will these / this proposed aircraft be payware or freeware?
  • These / this aircraft would be a 3rd Party Addon - correct?

Thanks!

Sounds like we are missing a 737CL rather, in addition to which I would suggest a DC-8 or 9 :grinning: All these had established models in previous sims but not currently in MSFS.

considering a c-130 varient is already under development. Maybe consider the C-17 globemaster as an alternative.

Boeing 707 or DC-8 would be fantastic with a Delco Carousel INS navigation for oceanic crossings.

Not interested in any of these except the 206 and I expect Carenado to bring over theirs sooner or later.

As mentioned earlier, since its your first development keep it simple and unique.
If you are here for a simple cashgrap: go for example captain sim style, high demand plane with ok-ish exterior and horrible interior, flightdynamics.
If you want to build a lasting trustworthy brand that the whole community is hyped about, start small with high details in all aspects of a plane.
Developing a good plane, especially as complicated as a tubeliner takes time. A lot of time and recourse.
Whatever you decide, dont become that person that hypes in advance and doesnt deliver.
Get your first one out with a bang and the community will do the advertising for you.

Yes, that route would be a sure fire way to destroy any future interest in their products.

If anything the T206H. But it would have to be significantly superior to the Carenado C207

C-130H with full analog cockpit please <3 But that’s for the future. Start with something small and grow up from there. No rush and no cashgrabs.

Look at BlueBird Simulations for a prime example of that. They’ve spent years developing one plane for MSFS - the Boeing 757 (which will be the sim’s first 757.)

At one point they even discarded the work they’d done because the programming language they’d been using wasn’t giving them the fluid depth they needed to achieve their goal of - quite frankly - perfection. The other thing they do is expose their process. Screenshots, discussions, progress reports. All of which help us believe in them.

They are investing much time and effort, focusing intently on this one plane, hoping that the sim community will reward them.
I believe they will be handsomely rewarded. I know it will be a Day 1 purchase for me.

The 727 is a much needed aircraft. Most of the other ones have been done in different variants.

There IS an overabundance especially of A320s. But an analog 1960s Boeing 737 would be a nice thing to have as well. At least if you’re into airliners. Apart from the Fokker 28 there aren’t any early jet-era passenger liners available as far as I know.

Yep, how about the 707 or the B-52.
