Hi CS,
whats the chance of a 787 captain?

i hope they do, itd be amazing

A 747 would be good, all models 100-8i

Well I for one am tired of seeing the almost complete line of Boeing aircraft that CS has done, don't get me wrong I think they are fantastic but isn't time for a change !. How about dong a Prop plane?
for example: A 4 engine classic like the DC-4  
hearing those radials roaring as they come alive

Everyone has there own plane that they would like to see CS do, but please not another Boeing, there are already some very good 747's 787, etc..out there for those wanting those model aircraft, how about making a plane that no other dev has done before. The sim market is saturated with Boeing's and a few Airbuses, time for something different for 2012.

I'd just be happy with the 777 cockpit... 

(But I'd be happy if somebody made a decent A330 or A340)

Though I personally would not want to see a 787 Captain until the 787 becomes more widely-used.

Did you not start this topic? 

No harm in asking but with all due respect you guys asking for "change" are barking up the wrong tree...CS has established their product line with great success(I hope...still in biz), I could be wrong and if so I will happily eat my words but all I am saying is: its not going to happen.

Watch for other developers to do these British/Euro-(asian) models.

I guess it's the "im sick of seeing American dominance" that bugs me...I'm sure CS has done their market research.

boeing247,

When I say they have done their market research I feel its self evident what the outcome has been and I personally don't see any gaps approaching to take on an entirely new (as in manufacturer) aircraft anytime soon.

How long before the 777 and 737 are out and working properly (with all expansions available) before they could start something new? I think about a year at least.

I would be shocked now if they didn't do a 747 but...you never know...but this is what I've gathered...

A 747 would keep them busy for a long time...it could be two separate product lines, nostalgic and modern with lots of expansions.

They have also mentioned updating the F-104 for fsx, I hope they update the MiG21 as well.

There are rumors of a 757 5.0, I'm all for it, not another free update but a new product.

Don't forget about the 767-400, they have mentioned that it is still possible. (I think we will see this too and hope so.)

Now, by this time even if you leave out the F-104 and the MiG21 we are years down the road...who knows but it seems to me they have more than enough to keep them very busy for a long time and the notion of CS leaving all this for something else is disturbing to me and seems unlikely.

or they could surprise us all, I hope for the former.
BTW...
Do you really think an L-1011 would sell better than a 787? Don't get me wrong, I like the Lockheed and would buy it from CS, I have flown on them many times in the past and would really like to have a CS version of one in fsx but I strongly disagree that it would be more popular in sales than a CS787.

Sincerely,
Dave
