What aircraft types would you like us to do most?

[Cameron]

Hi, all,

In an effort to see where the community stands, X-Aviation would like to find out what type of aircraft add-ons you all are most interested in. Please select a category to vote on from above, and then respond here with a list up to three of your favorite aircraft types that you would love to see produced by us.

[nrhh]

A320, 777, 747-8

[dan]

Heavies without a doubt... In addition to two of my favorites already on the drawing board (the A320 and B777), I would love to see the B757 and 737 and another Airbus favorite, the A340 (or A330) being built by XA devs.  ;D

[inktomi]

I'd vote for another good general aviation plane, DA-20/40 etc. Something good enough to practice flight lessons in

[iamfallen]

L-39 Albatros

[WombatBoy]

Some of the larger ERJ's, Do-328 (the jet version), Bombardier Challenger.

[inktomi]

Actually, given some time to think - I think anything that would get you closer to having big plugins like the Garmin G1000 system simulated would be awesome. I'd gladly pay for a G1000.

[Simmo W]

In addition to goran and javieranton's ones, 727, 748, DC10.

[nrhh]

Oh man, how could I forget the DO-328 JET - that would be a dream!

[WombatBoy]

Yes, the Do-328 looks mean and fast just sitting on the ground, I've always wondered what they fly like. Oooh, one I forgot, T-2 Buckeye.

[Simmo W]

I can't double vote, but imagine an F16, exterior by Javier, systems and dials/displays by Tom, with Gizmo producing the vortices and sound barrier effects....eeeww, I need to shower now...

[Zach Decou]

Mooney J,K,Bravo etc, ummm, piper archer, C182

[sede]

Beechcraft B-200

[Kiedels]

I chose heavy metal planes, but there is one regional aircraft that I have really been wanting to fly in x-plane, and it is the e-jet family.  ;D

[alexgeo]

1) 747-200 Cargo and Passenger

2) DC-10 Cargo and Passenger

3) MD-11 Cargo and passenger

Good luck guys!

[Beej]

Heavies, please.  Having said that most seem to be at some stage of development throughout the various forums and there is the "secret" project over at XPFW (747?).  Obviously all of the highest current freeware heavies have their own particular strengths and weaknesses.  X737 (v4...?) has good systems, probably good obj modelling in V4 but no 3D pit, XPJ 777 we are yet to see the final but I expect it will have great obj, flight model and vector graphics cockpit but maybe weaker on "systems.  Then XPFW 757 - a classic - beautiful to fly and the first of a new generation but a bit "tired" now.  Rather than go on - if I had my choice of a "platinum" standard heavy (or two..) they would be (in order).  I have flown a few times now on the A380 (and again in a week) and it's very comfortable but I think lacking the "grace" of the three I list below and if I get an A340 I get to play with Airbus FBW, AP anyway.....

B747-400

B777-300

A340

best to all

Beej

[Nik]

SF-260

Piaggio Avanti II

ATR-42/72

Airbus A319

one fighter at your choice but i like the F-15 and the A-10

[Nova]

A346

A330

MD11

[JBalsa]

I would absolutely love to see a Cessna 152.

But then again, I'm biased. 

A C182, a DA42/40/20, and some good Pipers would be nice.

[woweezowee]

C-208, DHC6

I'm sorry to say, I see it is the top vote right now, but I don't get the point why all people want the heavies. I can't imagine something more boring to do than turning some knobs, programming a route, switching on the AP and finishing a some hours long flight with a auto-land system. You not even need a yoke or pedals to fly a heavy in a sim. On the positive side: You have enough free time to clean the house while your plane flies. Bring in some more votes to the GA-category, people! (And don't take me too serious on that one....)

[Kaphias]

I basically only fly heavies, I find it fun to find a plane and airline which flies a route, "fly" it, then do it again. Up to 280 flights, and almost 900 hours so far, in the past year or so.

So, uh, heavies.

[woweezowee]

471 flights, 273:52 hours.  (that's my current stats in fseconomy, can't say for "all time", but my preferences kept nearly the same over the years). So instead take-off/landing every 3.2 hours, I have that pleasure every 0.5 hours. I really, really like it more that way.

edit: forgot my third wish one more vote for the B200 or any other Beechcraft Twin.

[WombatBoy]

Isn't Tom doing a B200? It looks really great. I've actually had the pleasure of starting one up in real life.

I went to Charleston West Virginia with my dad for Dow stuff and on our way back I was sitting in the lobby and the co-pilot and I got started talking about flying and then flight sims and then he asked me if I wanted to go out to the plane with him and start it up for us. It was really great

[Gjalp]

Hey everyone,

I picked the GA aircraft and out of the 3 that I want I have picked:

1) Piper Tomahawk

2)CT4b airtrainer (NZ Airforce had them as trainers and then as aerobatic aircraft)

3)PC6 Pilatus Porter Turbo (great for doing landings at Mt Cook NZMC)

After that I would love to see some classic 1930's 40's aircraft (the original air racers, the D18s, Howard 500 etc...).

Slainte,

Andy

Cameron, you sure know how to liven up this forum with a question like that!

I also am a fan of the heavies. I like tinkering with all the systems. I've always had a fascination for something so big with so many people gliding through the air. But I'm not the sort that likes to turn on the FMS and just let it go. I at least want to change radios as I navigate along the charts.

I would love to see someone really do justice to the venerable DC-3. I mean a real top-notch model with accurate, antiquated systems. I'm actually surprised no one has suggested that yet. Don't you folks think we should honor that marvelous bird with a quality model?

I saw Embraer pop up a few times reading the other posts. I would be happy to plunk down my money for the ERJ-180. It has sentimental value.
