I agree, proper 747 classic is truly what FS community needs now, or as a secondary DC-10, Tristar or DC-8.

Yeah CLS is updating theirs but honestly it seems to be just minor update and it will still lack systems and proper flight dynamics, currently you can fly over 20 hours with full tanks of their bird as fuel burn is completely messed up, I don't really count it as a proper simulation.

With all due respect, the VCs that are available for the DM jets are nowhere near good enough for me. I want the best of everything (3D model/textures/sounds/flight dynamics/VC quality), so only brand new versions will do. It's also the reason why I can't use Rick Piper's excellent HS748, and that is a real shame....

My vote will always be for a VC10, because it is easily the best looking airliner that has ever graced Earth's skies. The roar of those Rolls Royce Conways is, of course, a significant bonus!

I think that the Russian aircraft are left out as they aren't really that popular with many people. I know they started off doing them but I can't really see them going back to it. I think they should stick with the airliners and they do a good job with them. Especially the classics. That's why I would agree with the L1011, DC10 and 747 Classic. I think that there is a need for the L1011 and if you can find a decent one then whoops.

I would agree with most aircraft, however I think 747 classic is not any aircraft. Together with Boeing 707 it's most important jetliner ever made and thus there should be proper one for FSX. Currently only proper 747 is 400 and -800, only 747 classic out there isn't much better than freeware birds, actually some ways it's worse. I am sure that loads of people would buy proper classic 747, CLS one is really just a toy with no system or flight dynamics depth.

Also remember that many many years before CS 767 was released another developer released theirs, and it's still today used by many people including me although it's graphically oudated but in terms of FD and systems top notch.

Yet still CS has surely sold loads of 767's and has made a lot of money with it.

And yes this said I would also definitely enjoy some Russian bird, but that would have to come with GOOD manuals. I tried Project Tupolev freeware TU-154 and didn't get anywhere after starting engines, for people who don't know Russian proper manuals is must have as these birds are extremely complicated.

By the way YAK40 isn't really near 727, it's really small STOL jet that can hold like 30 passengers. Yak 42 is a bit more near it but still not quite same.

The point I am trying to make is there should be variety, for such a long time now CS has been manly focused on Boeing's, 707,737,757,767,777,... when is enough, enough?!  Why not take a break from the Boeing family and produce something different. Most FSX simmer's like to fly different aircraft from time to time (different manufactures of aircraft) not just the Boeings.

I'm going to go on a rant here...

Like I said before, we all have certain aircraft(s) that we prefer and like to see get developed, but we just can't think of our personal choice of aircraft that we want to see get developed, we should think about what the FSX sim's community as a whole would like to see get done and come to a general consensuses, this is why I made the suggestion that perhaps CS could make a small list of potential aircraft they feel they might be interested in developing in the near future and post it on the CS website where all simmer's can vote on their choice  of aircraft from the list ( list provided by CS ) maximum one vote per person,per IP or something like that. What you say about this CS?

However, If CS agrees to this then we the Sim community should help CS and show our support to them. A great way to do this is to pre-order! YES, I said pre-order, if CS is willing to involve us in choosing their next aircraft for development then we must also stretch-out our hands to them, as you all know it takes time and MONEY to develop an high quality aircraft.

Sounds crazy? well it's not, you can just sit there and make post's asking CS to make your favorite aircraft, and whine about it, or you can get involved !  Show your support to CS and we can all be a small part of the team that decides the next aircraft to be done, doesn't that sound cool.   

 
    

Once again, this isn't the place to rant about how CS should do it's buisness. It's nice to have wishlists, but this isn't just a wishlist forum.

If one company makes Boeings (CS I suppose) then someone else can do Airbus, and Y does MDs, for example.  CS doesn't always want to be competing with the other companies, I would think?

Anyways, I would really like to see some updates come out for the orignal CS planes, before another new aircraft comes out and that is likely what will happen.
