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

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


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! Smiley hook us up  Wink

Boeing 787 Dreamliner  (/8, /9, /10?) Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
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 Wink

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

Cheesy

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. Grin

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:

http://www.outdoorphoto.co.za/gallery/data/524/medium/747-300_horiz_runway_cockp...

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! Shocked Cheesy Grin


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.

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!  Grin
