Hi dbhally.

I really love the look of the DC-10 and MD-11. I always have. For me, it is the way that the engine is mounted in the back that makes the L-1011 look ugly.

The A380 is one ugly bid. Sorry Airbus fans, but to me it is uglier than many aircraft, but not the L-1011. I think the Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 on the other hand are the most beautiful looking Airbus aircraft. Too bad they will ruin it's looks with the new sharklets.
Quote:If CS did an Airbus I would hope for the A340, which is a very sleek looking aircraft to me.
I don't really like the look of the A340 or the A330 either really. I find them odd looking too. Sleek? Maybe. But odd looking.
Quote:Mark, I don't think I've seen any of your picks, if you don't mind...what would be your pick of aircraft for CS to do?
I have said this a few times, but for your benefit, here it is. I would love Captain Sim to do the 747-100/200/SP. It will be interesting to see what Captain Sim have decided to do after the 737 and 777 are completed. I guess they will be looking into the overhaul of the 757 (v5.0) and 767 (2.0).
I remember when I first saw the 747. It was a strange looking aircraft, but within a year or two, I got to like the look. A lot! That just has not happened with the A380. Quite some years after its release, I still don't like the look of it.
