  1. Yeah, I figured you'd want to get the Citation II done first since you're so close. I added another poll asking if your current buyers would be willing to pay for a re-release of the aircraft, which might help you gauge whether it'd be worth the effort. If you could get Frooglesim to showcase it, and I'm not sure how'd you accomplish that, it would be a lot of free advertising. His favorite plane is the Duke for FSX, and the Duchess is basically a baby Duke, so such an aircraft would be right up his alley.
  2. I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in Leading Edge Simulations updating or redoing their older projects, being the Musketeer and Duchess (both by Beechcraft), up to a similar standard for 10.30+ as seen in the fantastic Saab 340 study sim and DC-3 as well as the upcoming Citation II. I have a few reasons for asking... X-Plane 10 is seriously lacking for the "Platinum standard" GA aircraft that FSX/P3D users enjoy. Carenado/Alabeo are the best we have, and while they're still pretty great planes with fantastic visuals and audio, it's a common opinion that they aren't that much above default when it comes to systems and flight models. They're certainly no study sims, as the documentation is also quite weak. FSX/P3D players will tell you that RealAir & A2A Simulations are far superior, having comparable quality to PMDG airliners, proving that the GA category can be represented much better. Their later projects prove they can reach that standard. The Saab 340A is one of most, if not THE most, realistic representations of an aircraft in X-Plane 10. Visuals, sounds, complexity, ease of use, utilities, tons of liveries, several variants, pretty fantastic and complete overall package. The DC-3 is also very highly acclaimed from what I've read of users opinions on it. Their next project is the 747-200/400. That's perfectly fine, but fans of heavy metal, regardless of time period or size, already have lots of choices when it comes to great add-ons. Flight Factor's 757 is right up there with PMDG, with the 777 is not far behind, and the A350 XWB still being pretty great. FlyJSim has a fantastic 727 and 732 for fans of the classics. The JARDesign A320, wonky fly-by-wire aside, is also very complex and well made. SSG already have the 747-8 covered, which is extremely similar to the 747-400 when it comes to avionics for the sake of easy conversion. Coming up, we also have an amazing MD-80 by Rotate, a DC-6B by PMDG, and the IXEG 737-300. That last one basically blows any flight simulation add-on I've seen out of the water. Light GA aircraft tend to be less complex, and you already have a solid base to go off of. Anyone using X-Plane to train for a real world PPL/CPL would appreciate an aircraft that provides all the training and procedures of a real aircraft. The Musketeer is a good introductory aircraft and the Duchess is a far better piston twin trainer than any aircraft currently available or coming to X-Plane. The Baron is quite big, the Seneca is alright, the DA42 only gives you two levers for engine controls due to FADEC which takes out a lot of the challenge.If LES did do this, you could maybe re-release them with a $10 higher price tag (but with a discount/free download for previous owners). The CRJ and Saab had the title "Take Command!" slapped on them by X-Aviation so maybe you could refer to these as the "Learn to Fly!" series or something. Thoughts and opinions?
