Agreed-would love a quality 737-200 and also a 100!
A Boeing 247D-yes, Wing42 did one before but has been abandoned in regard to updates even though it works in MSFS 2024.
In fs2024 , we have no aircraft to fly in the Denver air connection fleet, porter fleet, contour fleet and nothing in the cape air fleet available
And those little airlines are growing popular
For some reason can’t get the French vfr website to work for me so haven’t been able to get the pby
Another vote for Sikorsky aircraft! I’d love to see H-3 and H-53.
Yea site won’t even load for me so can’t even access that
I’m still amazed that no high fidelity developers took on the Twin Otter and Dornier Do 228, such iconic planes with so exciting and varied application areas.
ATR 72-50F and 600F
747-400F
I would love a Lake Renegade. A Republic Seabee would be soo cool, too. And speaking of Sikorsky aircraft, an S-38 or S-39, necessary as local legends or famous flyers… The start of PanAm, and commercial aviation in general, grew from those planes (and the FVIIa and Dornier Wal already in the sim). The Sikorsky aircraft are just sooo romantic!
Would love a VC10 and BAC One-Eleven from a respectable dev.
Has there been any update on that Let?
Or any update on this?
My guess is that very, very few people have ever seen or flown one of these. They’re excellent mountain and island hoppers, which are very specific, niche -and heinously expensive- flights. It makes sense that they’re not as requested as famous airliners or military planes, which are far more common to spot.
The best renowned GA planes on the sim actually do the inverse process: the real airplane becomes known by simmers because there is a high quality, expensive version of them on the sim. For example, it’s A2A’s fame that lures simmers to the Comanche and Aerostar (which was a catastrophic sales failure IRL). No way those would be the most famous add-ons in MSFS if, say, Flyboy Sim released them -and Flyboy are awesome.
TL;DR: GA planes in MSFS are designer goods. It’s the developer’s brand that sells them
Twin Otter float planes are pretty much ubiquitous in the Maldives. Wheeled versions are common in the Caribbean, and NOAA (according to FlightAware) has two in the air as I type this.
Eww. Talk about a failure of an airplane. Not blaming the airplane. The requirements that created it were criminal.
Indeed, but we have to compare that to, for example, the amount of a320 series planes flying all over the world.
How many simmers have actually flown a Twin Otter in the Maldives (one of the most remote and expensive travel destinations in the planet) or done island hopping in the Caribbean?
Now let’s compare that to how many aviation fans have taken an airliner flight.
The Otter is a very successful aircraft, with more than 1400 units built. Just the a319 CEO and neo outnumber it at around 1500 units.
