Post. what would you like for captain sim to make next? It can be any sort of planes helicopters or even expansion packs for a family that has already been made. Hopefully  captain sim will make one of your choices.


John happy flying :)

747 classic series or IL-96.

I'd vote for anything including lots of steam gauges and very few LCD. Jet or prop, doesn't matter. The more engines the better.  :D

And, yes, we have tons of threads asking for the next thing.  ;D :P

Sud Aviation Caravelle

that would be so awesome

Please make a New Version or Big Update for the 767 :)

they havent said but betting on it i believe that they will go old school. DC-10, L1011, DC-8. IF they do go NG then i have no idea but could you imagine a MD-80/90/717 series by captain sim that would be awesome.

Vickers VC-10 ~ !

OR

The Convair 880 ~ !

This would be awesome, the DC8-73. Equipped with the early CFM56 turbofans!  :D

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-Canada-Cargo/McDonnell-Douglas-DC-8-73(F)/1745230/M/

The only thing I would really like now...

This is how I see this DC8
DC8 had many design flaws. Too thin, tiny engine turbines,. When I was a kid, my Dad was a 707 Captain. I used to fly with him or wander about in the airports, and a DC8 was like the other smaller 4 engines. Cause it was smaller in all aspects.

As it early retired for passenger use due to losing the battle to the 707, it got too cheap, so many freight companies bought it. But then the problem became evident. They couldnt load too much cargo with those cheap small engines.

So recently, I mean very recently, in the 80s...and that IS recently, since the DC8 passenger days were in the 70s, anyway, in the 80s, when big round engines were already available in airbuses, 767s and other wide bodies, they fitted the DC8 with these so it could fly properly.

707s were also used in a few freight companies, but they never needed to switch the original engines for better ones.

Im sorry, I dont see any praise in that picture. I see a badly designed plane with different engines, bigger, so it could be somewhat used in the cargo industry. I pass.

Okay Kapitan, I don't know exactly what your problem is with that posting seeing as it isn't the first posting mentioning the DC-8.   These are wishes anyways, no reason to bash people for that...

You might also want to do some research (take it from me; it's not very hard to do ;)) before you write a comment like yours. The DC-8-10 series (not the version I mentioned BTW!) was underpowered. Nothing cheap with those engines (JT3C), I am pretty certain on that. They are also very similar as those powering the 707 (the JT3D)! Anyways they only made 30 of those and every version after the series 10 was quite successful. Wandering around airports as a kid doesn't make you an expert in "tiny, thin, engines" either, in my books anyways.

The DC-8-73 used the very popular and reliable CFM-56 engines... And that stared before the 80's, and they don't use the same turbofans as those on the 767?

I know for a fact many people would like to see a DC-8 so it would be beneficial for you to read previous threads a little more carefully.

Just my 0.02

Im not bashing "people" as you said, I dont recall having mentioned any human being. I was bashing the DC8

And all we do is talking wishes, out of pure likeness and love affair, not tech specs. A plane wins our heart when it brings the most remarking memories, which normally come from childhood, thus the reference.

I was as a kid very negative towards the DC8. Because it had nothing I could see it better or at par with the 707, they were both for the same routes and range. And it also came late, after the 707, ...

So look, there is an Iphone from Apple doing this and this features...
and another brand releases a model that is smaller, does less, with less quality and lower performance...what should I think?

And yes, it had a tiny fuselage and tiny original engines...which were later "corrected" with different versions (manufacturers love to put different codes and version number), but...its the same plane.

However, being a classic jet fan as I am, compared to today models I love them all and would be one of the first to buy a good DC8 if available. :)

Edit> This is a hobby, so our preferences are like soccer team preferences, we like it because we like it, thats all, and defend colors or models, but with no scientific criteria. We are not working for any company, we are not buying a DC8 for real...its just fun. I love the tail antena of the 707, and dont like the two cooling entrance nozzles the DC8 has in the nose, and so forth...


I would love to see a DC8, I have been looking for years an addon, its probably the classic that has been completely forgotten in the sim. Dont take me wrong, today I love it, but I wanted to share my mean child feelings that I carried for many years.

Perhaps the 747 is more apropriate because of its fame and success, while the DC8 is too close to the 707, but if one is made, I'll go for it, as Im wainting for the Lockheed Tristar also.

It would indeed! The only Caravelle available is 2D, aby AFG.
A Caravelle with virtual cockpit is non existant in the sim world.

Best Classic Jets>

The list starts with all the ones Captainsim already did,  707, 727 and 737-200, so taking it from there..

747-200 - The first and the best Jumbo Jet

Comet 4 - First Passenger Jet

Caravelle - Best short range jet in the late 50s and 60s

VC-10 - the second european four jet engines and a unique one with their position in the rear.

DC8 in all its variants, an important intercontinental jet, together with the 707, they gave the name to the era of the "jetset"

L1011 Tristar - Together with the 747 and the DC10, they were the three Widebodies, or jumbos, that revolutionized size in aviation

Trident - UK version of the 727

BAC 111 - short range bijet

DC-9 Douglas version of short range T tail

Fokker F28 - Nice dutch short range small jet

DC10 - Main 747 competitor for many years

you can add the Convair, the 720, but they are redundancies of the 707s
as the mD11 is of the DC10 and the 747SP a short 747
missing any other?

To me aviation, sentimentaly, ends here, from then on 757, 767, 777, airbuses, 737-500 and up, they are part of a new computerized era that is not as interesting as the golden times.

I'd vote for a DC-8, especially the -50 and -62/-63 variants!

by the way, a L1011 is already in the making by someone else and close to release...

Hey Kapitan, i see we have something in common :) Me too thinking that modern computerized jets is super cool to work on and to fly on in real life, but for sim - there is nothing better than a bunch of good old jetliners from the times when Earth was a bit bigger ;) Is that right?

i vote for 747 classic though.

Exactly my friend, we are siting in a chair facing a computer, so what is the point to program another computer within the monitor of our computer?

Better recreate flights navigating by Vor or making ILS apporaches and getting it aligned manually with the runway in a rainy day with poor visibility. As you say, if you are studying to become a pilot, and make it your profession, these modern NGX planes and airbuses are fantastic.

But the sim has other puprose too, and one of them is to remember.

Like when we played cowboys in modern days, because going from El Paso to San Francisco on a horse in 1850 was an adventure both in nature and stamina, compared to taking a Gray Line Bus today...and so forth,

The sim is for fun, the fantasy of re-living those years, when Pilots were grand, when female flight atendants were sensual, when the pleasure of a good cigarrete and the best wines and beverages were served on any flight in any route, when flights were a place where people made new friends, engage in conversations, not feariong one another, where many love stories started,  etc :)

Well, I know it's been requested a lot.. but still, wouldn't CS make a great a340 model?! So that would be my request: an a340!
Though I would also like to see the 747 classic (-100, -200 and -300) and even the 747s of today (-400 and -8) would be great!
I also would like to MD-11s, MD-80s and a300s.... but well who'll tell what they are working on, I will most certainly like it...

How about low wing medium range props, like BAe ATP, SAAB, Electra, etc. FS is lack of them in all versions. I can't find one that is good modeled.

There are many options for that kind of aircraft, models that no other developer has made and will make us have different experiences on FS, not just flying heavy jets...

There is many things that Captain Sim can do.   Lots of different aircraft however; I'd be really interested in and update to the CS-130X as it was discussed in 2008.

The once talked about KC-135 addon for the 707 variant would be really nice.  

Working on the KC767 addition to make it work accurate would be a huge plus.

I own just about everything CS makes with exception to the L1011.  Once they finish that to an decent version and the 9.99 sale happens it will be in my collection as well.  

Just humble opinion from a simmer

Don

I flew from Sicily to Bahrain on an Aloha DC-8. But it's perhaps too similar to the 707, and there is another new DC-8 on the market. (Don't know how good it is.)

DC-9 is not Boeing, and there is a very nice new DC-9 on the market, so I don't think it would make much sense.

The classic 747 would be perfect, and would complete the seven series (almost). There's not been a really good classic 747 for FSX, and I think it would be popular.

yes please :) maybe someday :)  I sincerely hope.

I found a freeware model of the 747-100, just to check it out...imagining how awesome it would be if CS did it.

It has to be the 100 tho! ::)

Well I don't enjoy flying computers.

Airbus therefore is a big problem, however I'd like to see an A300.

I'd be more than happy with a 747 if that was the choice.

Here is my list: Any variant would do. CS about time you did something for the motherland ;)

AN-12
AN-22
AN-124
IL-62
IL-76
IL-86
IL-96
Tu-134
Tu-154
Yak-42

The problem with Russian aircraft is that to be authentic, they would have to use cyrillic characters on the panels. I doubt that most users would have the patience to learn this and also what kind of market quantity could they sell. :( :(

When you consider that the L-39 Jet Trainer, Legendary MiG 21 and Yakovlev Yak-3, Russian aircraft, were early works of Captain Sim, they have not done any more. So maybe they already know that the market for Russian aircraft isn't as large as for the more common western aircraft.
Just sayin'. That doesn't mean that they won't do another one.

LOL. For 15 years I flew a helicopter made in France.

I think the symbols were a concession. Strangely it was only the gauges that were in French. All switchgear was labelled in English.

Black Shark which if you take out the military side of things is by far and away the best helicopter simulation I have seen for the desktop, is a Russian machine but you can install a Russian version and an English version. It wouldn't take much.

An AN22 or TU95 (civilian) with those incredible 15,000 SHP Kuznetsov turboprops.

Unique.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4VlQv4qq8s
I'd buy one.

There is no doubt that the Russians make some fine aircraft . Some freeware models of the above are available . There is a tendency among some nameless people to belittle the accomplishments of Russian engineers, but they have shown innovation in a lot of their designs. I'm not great at flying helicopters but I agree the DCS black shark is probably the best helicopter simulation I've seen.
What to make next !??, possibly , a 747-100 and 200 with working INS.
I actually worked on those simulators back in the early 70's.
Just my 2 cents.  :) :) :)

there is a very nice model of MI-8 on the market with real cockpit, but they just change the cyrilic to english and it very nice to fly.

As far as I know there are in real life, russian planes with that modification, operating, precisely for market reasons and to standard operations in the occident..

It's just a matter of changing russian to english, meters to feet, km to knots and a few more, not that difficult I believe.

Yep a 747 100 200 for me in BOAC livery please'

Recently got the 707 & 727. VERY IMPRESSED. :)

For the love of all that is holy in aviation, Please someone make a proper MD-80!

I think someone has made a proper MD-80. At any rate, there's one on the market already. I think Captain Sim ought to be thinking about plugging the huge gap where a classic 747 would fit, but they would have to get the INS issue straightened out. The DC-3 was a hugely significant aircraft, and some are still flying. Captain Sim could really capture the character of this airplane, and, again, there's not one on the market for FSX that I know of.

It's hard to get the INS issue sorted out if the developers never get back to them.
It's very sad and I often wonder if another company just went ahead and did it regardless of getting permission. Or if they did get permission, why can't Captain Sim get permission too? Could it be that the developer of CIVA-INS is picky about who gets to make it for their VC. :-/

If picky means the another company 747 and not the Captain Sim 707, then I don't know what picky means. In any case, I have not tried to add the CIVA into the 707, so I don't know how hard it is. As I understand it, the 3D object is a dummy, and you a use pop-up window. I remember using the CIVA a long time ago with the late lamented RFP 747 and it was frustrating with lots of gotchas, as I recall, but did work well once I had it figured out. It is a very intimidating piece of kit. I'll be sticking with Doppler as soon as I figure out how to make it work (oh, please let there be no "issues!") Speaking of which, I got weird smoke -- see the 707 section.

The CIVA-INS is already there for the 707. In the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300\panel folder, you will see a CIVA_panel.cfg in there. Just rename the current panel.cfg (i.e. panel_BAK.cfg), then rename the CIVA_panel.cfg to panel.cfg and you're ready to go. It's only a single INS unit, but there is help in the 707 Captain forum on how to add 2 INS units.

CIVA INS is fun, but it takes a lot of work, unless you get the PlanConverter.v0.4.2.zip. PlanConverter helps convert FSX plans into INS plans with a text file that tells you when to load each separate ADEU "card" into the INS. It really does help.

Hi,
I really agree,  that INS is fun. In fact, I find it easier to use than FMC.  And there are no missing T/D issues with it ;)
I always type in manually all the coordinates, as I think it is part of the "atmosphere and immersion" when flying an old aircraft like the 707, DC8 or VC10 to do some manual work as well.

If CS would make a 741/742, I would be fine with pop-up windows like in the 707, leaving the ones in the VC for display. Same of course with the up-coming Lockheed Tristar panels.

ok, as we have the C130 an Electra L188 would be very nice.

most avionics and PP must be closed or the same.

Now that would be a very interesting aircraft to fly! ;D

747-100 and -200 seems to me to be the obvious choice, but given Captain Sim threw a curve ball with the L-1011, the DC-10 may still be on cards too.

Seems to me the logical choice would be the 777X, it is a 787 cockpit and a new 777 body. So CS would not have to make a 787 like someone else is, just the update the cockpit, and the new tech wing for the 777. ;D

767-400. NOBODY has attempted it. They said they were going to before then completely dropped it. It's a mix of 777 and 767 so it shouldn't take much time

MD-82 series for X-Plane!
A CS quality aircraft in XP? It would be amazing!

I Dunno' "Rumor" has it that the Captain Sim Brigade is gonna develop a Luxury Flight Simmers Hotel !

and to stay at the Hotel, Sim Pilots have to be able to Fly between the Hotels Wings (See Photo).

dats the Rumor anyway  ;D :D

I think it's because of complexity. Coding all the flight augmentation and flight envelope protection stuff, and all the other computerized systems of a modern Airbus, is hard work.

But an A300 or A310 would be different though. They were not as much computerized as an A330, A340, A380 or the A320 family. The original design of the A300 cockpit still had a flight engineer station.

I personally love the design of the A300 and A310, exterior but especially the cockpit design. I would only fly A300s/A310s, but no other Airbus. Otherwise I'll always stick with Boeing. I just couldn't live without control columns & wheels :P

I think an A300 or A310 in the Pro Line Captain Sim style would be awesome.

X-Plane versions of your excellent 737/757/767/777/C-130/1011 please.

Modern version of A300 and of course the A310 would be nice, though I would still love to see the classic 747.

Guys, i just came from a scenic flight with the Last dc10 passenger plane of biman bangladesh Airlines in Birmingham. Biman makes a farewell tour of this beautiful aircarft. I'm so impressed! Please create a CS DC-10!! Please!! There is no good DC 10 Addon for our flight sims! And for me it is about time to create one!!

I had many great flight to/from Australia and the Philippines in the DC-10, so it would be great to have it done by Captain Sim, but only after they did a 747-100/200/SP!

Sorry, but I had to include my preference for the 747 being done by Captain Sim. :D ;D

A 741/2 would be cool, I would take it.

However,  I think it is time for a smaller regional type plane from CS.  I am on board with those who say BAC 1-11 and F.28...

The F.28 is a good line for expansion reasons, it has the 1000 through 6000 series, including the 1000C.  If you wanted to modify the VC and systems a bit the F70 and 100 are possible.

Realistically, if CS made a 747 package (100,200,200 Freighter and perhaps the SP) Then I think it would really be their best sell BUT ONLY if the systems can beat the old Ready For Pushback 747 for FS9. Simmers regard the RFP747 as a VERY good aircraft and CS can't match or beat that aircraft in systems modeling then it won't really go over well with potential buyers.

The performance and handling of each model has to be different and accurate along with more options to customize your 747 with different equipment used by different airlines. For example, back in the late 80s early 90s, BA used FMS on their 747-200s. So perhaps an option for having INS only, INS and GPS (those small bendix models were used quite a bit along with the INS) and an FMS version.

TCAS should also be included as an option along with the option to have EFIS displays as seen in this photo.
http://images2.jetphotos.net/img/2/1/2/8/65373_1207330821.jpg

In the end, with all of these features, the high price tag won't be in question. The bottomline is that people pay for quality and options. This was quite evident when certain 737 made one developer very wealthy..

I really feel that we need an A340!!!! The another company airbus sucks! :)

IMO CS would be better off sticking to classic steam gauge aircraft because CS is extremely poor at system programming for modern EFIS aircraft, as proven by the 777 & the 757. They're going to stumble hard if they try and do a FBW Airbus.

Classic "Steam gauge" aircraft:

1) 747 Classic (CLS version is awful, RFP cannot run on FSX)
2) DC-10
3) DC-8
4) Convair 880/990
5) BAC 1-11
6) Fokker 28 (Jet)
7) Fokker 27 (Prop)

Modern aircraft:

1) Saab 340 (mostly steam gauges)
2) Dash 8-100/200 (Preempt **** again maybe?)
3) Sukhoi Superjet (I think CS understands Russian)

More:
1) Dornier 228
2) Dornier 328/JET
3) Xian MA60
4) Hawker Siddeley 748
5) Embraer EMB-110 Bandit


All other aircraft I can think of are already being developed by others.

the Concorde !

I'll add my name to the VC10 wish list. We definitely need a new "Queen of the Skies" for the FSX.

Loving the 707 btw.

Cheers,
Marcus.

- BAC 1-11
- Fokker 70/100 (FSX and VC)

No B707 can exist without its major competitor DC8-63

Put my name in for the VC10. Beautiful plane to see and look at. Somebody has to make it right and complete :). It was ahead of its time.

I agree or :
Vickers Viscount
HP Herald
Bac 1-11

The VC-10 is beautiful, but not used by mayor carriers outside the "Comonwealth".

I'm all for a 747-100/200.

The DC-10 would be awesome too. I spent many hours as a passenger in the DC-10 back in 1989. Half a dozen, or more, 8+ hour flights that year! ;)

DC-9 All Series

Shorts 330

That's how you get 10 posts under your belt.  ;)

Assuming Captain Sim patches everything up and perfects ALL their current products, these are the aircraft I'd like to see a high quality payware of:

• DC-10
  
• Boeing 717
  
• Boeing 747-100/200/300 w/ an INS option
  
• An authentic russian aircraft (I like the challenge of not knowing what the switches are labelled)
  
• Airbus A300/A310
  
• Boeing 737-300/400/500
  
• CRJ-200
  

My favourite would be the 737-300/400/500-series. The another company/Feelthere version of this plane sucks.

The developers who did a 757 and the BAe 146/Avro RJ are in the process of doing the 737 Classic, so I don't think there is really a need for Captain Sim to do it. Mind you, I would love Captain Sim to do them all.

Oops. I think I just gave away the fact that I'm a Captain Sim fan! :o :D ;D

As much as I would like to get some Vanguards, VC10, Convair 880/990, DH Comet etc in CS quality, I guess the market is limited and most likely not to happen. The reason being, that even in their heyday in the 60'es they were rare birds, and hence you may have to be 50+ to have any relation to them. My guess is, that any developer would try to get also the younger folks into the hobby.
It's a different story with the 707, DC8 and early 747's of the same era, as they were built in large quantities and still could be seen as freighters, Awacs and tankers until very recently.
By the way, there are Comets and Viscounts available today for FSX. But honestly, the freeware versions for FS9 are vastly superior IMO, the very reason I still keep the older sim on one of my drives.

Hence, my vote go for DC8, DC10 and early 747.
Best regards,
Anders

I got their 777 years ago, the W****/ and I have never been so disappointed with a payware aircraft. Even though some of their newer stuff might look and sound good I felt like I got suckered and will never ever EVER!!! buy another one of their add-ons...still ticked about it.

But I just wanted to comment, it's good to see all the posts for the 747-100.

Come on Captain Sim! :) hook us up  ;)

Anything with Steam gauges!!!
Also something Russian. Come on CS you have all the resources locally.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner  (/8, /9, /10?) :D :D :D :D
Pleeeeeeaaaaaseeeeeeee!

I'm sure you would make a PERFECT one, with every single feature working properly, not like Aerosim's 787 (which i bought, cause i'm despaired - lol), which has just a few stuff usable, and uses the standard fsx navigation routes -.-

Oh and also an A380, but 787 comes first, to me ;)

A380 and 787 are developed by other developers!

My strong opinion is that CS should look at a 747 SP, this has been missing from FSX, and the aircraft is a classic.

Alternatively a Soviet aircraft like the IL-76 would be great.

If they did 747SP they could as well do the 747-100 & 200 and 300 as they all have more or less same cockpit layout & systems.

Proper 747 classic series, that would be just awesome... I'm sure it would sell very well, just think all the different versions CS could do and sell in separate expansions:

747-100/200 base pack

747-300 expansion pack

747SP expansion pack

747 classic cargo / combi expansion pack

:D

To me it definitely looks like the best option demand wise.

It depends on the difference between a 747-100 and -200 as to whether they would both be a part of the Base Pack, and does the -300 fit into the same category as the 100/200/SP.

Other than that, I agree. It would be great to have them. ;D

Yes I think that the -300 was a more advanced version, quite different to the -100-200 and SP.

Still my favorite would always be the SP....

Well, this is a 747-100 cockpit:

This on the other hand is 747-300 cockpit:

Like we can see there's not all that much of a difference between them, all 747 classic series share nearly identical cockpit layout (apart from some later modifications). Thus it really shouldn't be an issue for CS to model them all, it shouldn't be any more complicated than making different 777 variants.

I am still hoping for an older regional, primarily an F. 28.  I think it lines up with CS's talents nicely being as old as it is.  I know many want a 747 classic, which is fine.  However, for me I don't have the time to actually enjoy a 747 and would much prefer a short/medium range plane.  So, F. 28 for the win, even though I don't know how popular it would be, I would grab it day one.

Before I list my wish there is something to consider, a lot of us fly with Virtual Ailines; some a lot, and others from time to time.  If you look there are very few that fly nastalgia type planes. Do not misunderstand, I like the old, that is right now why the CS727 is getting all my attention.  For CS to stay in the green they have to balance new and old, so even though a Convair would be cool, it would turn into to one of those planes that you would fly seldom versus flying a B737-800.  My vote in order:


B737-300/500 was a classic and was when digital invaded the analog cockpit.  By far one of the most widely used versions.  This to me (then they could add like the 757/767 addon like a B737-700 and 800)

A380 - Not one out there that is quality!

MD90

DC-8

The developers who did a 757 and the BAe 146/Avro RJ are in the process of doing the 737 Classic, so I don't think there is really a need for Captain Sim to do it. Mind you, I would love Captain Sim to do them all. Oops. I think I just gave away the fact that I'm a Captain Sim fan! :o :D ;D

Thanks, that's new info to me. They're not the best developer in the world, but not the worst either. If I got a choice between their 737 classic and Captain Sim I'd definately go for the Captain Sim.

The Aerosim sucks indeed, one of the worst payware developers I've ever seen. However their model is not bad. I tried to merge it with the Captain Sim 767 cockpit (767 and 787 are about the same size, that's why I picked it), but without success. I didn't get most cockpit features to work.

B717

I think the answer is pretty obvious by now; FSX is absolutely crying out for a good 747 Classic; start with the 747-100 and bring in the -200, -300 and -SP as additional models. Given the amazing job CS have done with the L1011, 707 and 737 Jurassic I think that the 747 Classic is a no brainer really. Let's face it, aren't there enough generic twin engined boring FMC equipped aircraft available from a range of vendors at all complexity levels to keep everyone going for a while? All there is 747 wise is the very expensive -400 from you-know-who, and the depressing -200/-300 version available from CLS via another company which has nice exterior modelling but a VC that looks like it has been produced with MS Paint and a default FSX autopilot.

C'mon guys, get modelling and take my money!  ;D

awesome ^ lol

I was thinking, along with whats been mentioned ie base pack & expansions,  

I would love to see these expansion packs & another way to get my money would be the...

200B air force one...I really like the CS707 AF1

and the shuttle carrier...(along with a redux of the loading crane scenery at edwards? now im really dreaming  ::)

...which to me would follow suite with other CS products and needless to say it could be a huge product line.

MD-80 series is my vote, especially the MD-88.  You could ahve several off-shoots with this plane since it started out old school with dials and guages and end up with digital and FMC's.  I know there is 2 primary versions on the market, already but they are long in tooth and really not compatiable with Prepar3D.  PLus if you check, most virtual airlines have one or versions of these in their fleet... Just my 2-cents! ;)

I would like to see 747 classic, but I think  C-141, C-133 or B-52D would be OK after seried of airliners

Well i'm waiting for some more 707 expansions like KC-135, 720, 367, models 120, 220, and 420 but I know those are far away and may never be developed. I would really enjoy to see a DC-10. A 764 would also stir up some conversation too. To me the 747 seems like too big of a project for CS right now. (At least for FSX since many are switching to P3D) ...but still all in all a KC-135E or R (More towards the R model) would be awesome to fly around with others using the C-130, B-52, E-767, E3 and KC-767

With so many (in fact innumerable) jet airliners available both free and payware, I'd prefer something not so common.   8-)

Shorts Belfast - In RAF livery with perhaps Heavy Lift as a side dish?
Antonov An-22A in the latest white with blue/yellow lines of Antonov Airlines (as seen on the An225).  Cyrillic Script characters are NOT a prerequisite for authenticity.  The actual crew can speak (and read) in English - as per YouTube and the real aircraft bears English language labels anyway for efficient ground crew assistance when visiting overseas so, the cockpit can 'replicate' the fuselage convenience in that respect.  Oh, to watch the start up with those contra-rotating props...  8-)

To be P3D v4/5 compatible pleeeeeeeeease.  If either of the above are already available for P3Dv5, someone please provide the link.  I've not spotted either yet. 

I have both of the above aircraft for my FSX (Win 7) and are P3D v3 compatible (sort of) but, I don't use Microsoft's new  'FSXX' due to lamentably too few aircraft in its library and neither of the above are in it anyway yet, again there are jetliners though.  :-[

727 FOR V5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Sim 727 Captain II for current P3D platforms! 😭
PLEASSEEEE!

I'd vote for a DC-8, especially the -50 and -62/-63 variants! by the way, a L1011 is already in the making by someone else and close to release...

another company made a fully functioning DC-8-50 for P3D and its awesome. Fully simulated with built in working INS navigation. CS should do a Convair 880, Caravelle or something that isn't out there already. Or just you know, bring the 707 and 727 to P3D remastered and done even better than before.

My vote is 100% a Convair 880. No one has done a decent one for any sim. The MD-80, DC-10, 747, VC-10, DC-9, Concorde etc have all been done. We also need the 727 and 707 in P3D 4 and higher yesterday.

I would love to see the C-130 in MSFS.
It would be an instant buy for me.

MSFS brings awesome scenery and a lot of dirt and grass strips where the Herk can excell.

Bringing the 777 into v5 would be welcome. I would rather see updates of existing products to at least the level of the L1011. But first, please finish the 737 Classic!

747 classic  ;D

If you take a look at X Plane you can see how successful those non glass airliners like the 737 classic, A300 and 727 are!
Of course many of us want the 727 back in P3D5, so do I.
