Hi Folks,
I'm only asking as I know you're a broad minded lot, erring mostly on the Golden/WWII/Cold war eras, but a wish/need/want list would be good to get the 'juices' going. Also maybe stimulate others into 'having a go', helping on joint projects etc....

New aircraft, re-makes of older models, airfields, scenery, vehicles, repaints.........


So come on then?.....

Cheers

Shessi
 
My first thoughts would be a Ju-88 and a Wyvern. We have some good models of these from Kevin M and Ito-san, but they are old. I would also like to see some what-if repaints for these, especially the Wyvern.

Here's hoping,
Ro
:encouragement:
 
Thinks..... an IL-2, a DHC-5, a Shin-Meiwa US-1 (amphibian), a scenery for Wildenwrath... that will do for starters

Nice ideas, might consider some, but they are not well documented as far as i can see at the moment, so there would be a lot of guesswork cockpit & instrument wise, as well as flying qualities.

An AN-2, or two.. There some interesting observer models, as well as skeleton fuselage models out there..
 
Hi Pete, there's an AN-2 with an additional observer cabin, that will be great to have. The AN-3 is a Turbo prop version of an AN-2.
 
Some great ideas, and that's the spirit, get the grey matter thinking out loud!

Stoney, Ha ha about An2's. Stoney that YC125 look's like an An2 that's had a very hard-arsed landing, and bent something, and yes it's ugly. But so are those An2 models the others are talking about!

Re Kawa P1, I suppose you want the jet version and not the Lock P-3C?

Udo/Gwrfan, Hey! your first post in 7 years..thank you. And funny you should mention the Whitley MkI/II/III, as it was a to-do when I did the MkV and VIIs, so just maybe........;) And I do like those inter-war ac, from all countries...again food for thought.

Ro, Hor, as you know well my liking for Axis ac. I have the Alphasim Ju87D source files, and I've been thinking of an Anton model. Also the re-doing the Ju88 is definitely up there, as I've done/doing the others in the family.

Huub, have to agree with you about German airfields, Papi would also agree. Maybe ask the mud-movers like Ian Elliot to get involved (if he would like to, that is!) or at least start something off?


One definative thing I'm getting from Fs9 and CFS2-ers, is Russian, French and Italian ac. Pre-war, WWII and just after period...some interesting and available stuff out there...so we'll see.


But keep this dialog coming, also how about a poll on a few things?


Cheers

Hi @Shessi !
I have lots of Orions and think they're all great; I happened across a photo of the Kawasaki P1 recently and it looked really purposeful - a smallish body and 4 jets It has a glass cockpit which is not completely as I would fit my own out, but it's still a great looking plane!
Cheers,
Andy.
