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

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. �

And, yes, we have tons of threads asking for the next thing. �

Please make a New Version or Big Update for the 767

Vickers VC-10 ~ !

OR

The Convair 880 ~ !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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!

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

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.

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

Unique.

I'd buy one.

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

Recently got the 707 & 727. VERY IMPRESSED.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I always wondered why there are no high quality modern Airbusses like 330 and 340, equal to the CS 757, 767 777 available in FSX.

BR,

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

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!!

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.

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

the Concorde !

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

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.

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

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

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!

PatrickZ wrote on Apr 5^th, 2014 at 5:19pm:


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 

Boeing 787 Dreamliner �(/8, /9, /10?)
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

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.

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.

Well, this is a 747-100 cockpit:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/747-100_Cockpit.jpg

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.

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

B717

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.

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

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

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... 

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. 

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