Helicopters for sure.

I wonder how hard it will be to control them, as I struggled in FSX and XP11.

I suspect they will be a bit like the Volocity, but obviously faster, etc

Excited for the DC3 the most. Hoping they include some cool liveries for it. A D-Day livery would be phenomenal. I think the gliders might be fun as well but definitely unfamiliar territory for me.

EDIT: Now that the Curtiss Jenny has been revealed, that’s definitely at the top of my list with the DC3

I’ve got a couple hundred hours in the decent freeware H125, R44 & fairly bad (flight model wise) H145, so for me it’s of course official helicopter support with the new heli’s & exciting future for heli support, development & integration.

Then the somewhat hinted FSX style missions that might be coming back in some form. They were a brilliant part of FSX & it would be great to see some of the favourites return & the possibilities for new missions are endless. I personally feel they went the wrong path with the Reno DLC but the Top Gun DLC was brilliant. The great popularity & feedback it got showed that FSX style missions were the right way to go.

I made these at release of MSFS a couple years back & hope they can do something like this in time.

I loke the Idea of helicopters but not sure without a proper collective setup. I like the beaver but the floatiak is not far out. Probably the DC3

The DC-3 and the A310. Always nice to have a classic radial powered machine, and I really enjoy the big airliners too. But really, there seems to be a lot to be excited about, especially since it’s all free!

I’m looking forward to the gliders and the helicopters. In order to shorten the waiting time, I have already bought the discus and I am enthusiastic about the glider

The DeHavilland Beaver, DC-3 and the Lindbergh plane.

I wonder if the Goose will fly for longer than 26 seconds and higher than 70ft.
