Any legacy F-18 or A-7 coming to MSFS 2024?

The DC Designs Legacy FA-18C apparently works well in FS24

The F18C's loadouts will show in 2024, but you need the freeware GotFriends Legacy Weights and Balance app to add the correct weights to the various
payload stations. The default 2024 payload screen doesn't work. This is true for a number of other 2020 fighters in 2024.
You will need to open a GotFriends account, but it's no big deal.

Flyingiron Simulations is planning to do the A-7E Corsair II for MSFS2024, but no clue as to when. They have been working on the DCS A-7 for years. According to comments they made a while back, it won't take as long to finish the MSFS version, but other than that, no details.
I also believe that Simworks Simulations has plans to do one, but I have even less info on that.
Heck, I would be satisfied for now if someone would convert Razbams FSX version, at least for MSFS2020. I know it can be done, because there IS a guy who posted pictures of a conversion on Facebook, but he won't share. NC

It's a bit sad to see that the legacy Hornet from FSX had an animated refuelling boom, while the default MSFS2020/2024 SuperHornet doesn't...
When calling the tanker in MSFS, seeing the boom magically appear out of nowhere on the SuperHornet is a bit frustrating. A very minor problem, I know, but still....

On that note NC, I launched my terrible Raz T-2C port-over off the boat in 2020 last night to test again. I'll look over the A-7 (I only have the old Tacpack one), but pointless if I can't get the HUD or nav cpu to work. Prowler port failed (un-flyable), so I bought the Deimos A-6 on sale instead!

Sorry NC, no go. Got the Raz Vol1 A-7E/D to load into 2020, but no engine power...probably something I did wrong with LegacyImporter. I guess we continue to wait on the SLUF, meanwhile I should probably get a new gaming cpu and 2024.

Well at least you tried to convert successfully. Thank you for that. Maybe Flying Iron will get their MSFS version of the A-7E some time in 2026.

I have the RAZBAM corsairs done and ready to release (single and twin sticks), but sadly I've not been able to make contact with the original developers to negotiate publishing!
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated!

You got THAT right. And if this does happen, I will be pestering at least one freeware designer to do NAS Cecil Field, FL (KVQQ), in 1980s time period, as a the home for East Coast A-7 Squadrons. NAS Lemoore was done a while back, although not in the same era. Cecil is LONG overdue. NC.
I would love for this to happen!
Do have any screenshots of it in MSFS 2034?
Have you tried contacting them on Discord?

No more news, unfortunately. I had messaged with Ron Zambrano a couple weeks.ago, and he had said he would reply to Redmill's email, requesting permission to publish the conversion, so far he hasn't. Absolutely zero idea why. I have held off bugging Ron again about it, but will try again soon.

That's pretty much the long and short of it! I've had no reply sadly!
