What We Wish: Default Aircraft

[Tai-2]

Id love a c-130 with many variants, including ac-130, blue angels with jato, etc.
F-22
B-17
Of course 767
Cessna jets(don't care which)
Wheeled float planes.
Helicopters with emergency flotation systems
(Think I am getting more complicated as my list goes on  :-? )

many would love a harrier jumpjet which is real VTOL not ultra  STOL

I think the key here is to ask for aircraft that we know are unique enough to need their own programming in the sim.

[kev13479]

I think we need full VC's. Better graphics and for planes:
-F/A-18E super hornet.
-C5B Galaxy.
-Boeing 747.
-Variety of helicopters.
-Variety of GA aircraft.
-More to detail airports.
-and real clouds that you can fly through without seeing anyting other than the fog.
- And one more thing, i think they otta' get in the cockpits and see what its really like.

I'm not sure what you mean by these two statements.

The clouds: flying through them is fairly accurate in the last two FS installments, when the clouds are set high.

As for the cockpits, I know for a fact that the last two flight sims have had designers sitting in the cockpits of the various aircraft, photographing and studying the layouts.  Most of the aircraft were photorealistic, and all of them were accurate to the blueprints/diagrams of said aircraft.  So what was missing?

Am I the only one the likes the Maule?

[SeanTK]

I think everyone just forgets about the Maule. I like it too, but I just don't use it enough. 
Also, MS, keep the Goose. That's a fun one!

For whatever default aircraft they decide on, two sided textures so us repainters can do proper repaints for them. It's stupid for them to do something like Edwards AFB in FSX and have just one side of the fuse in the DC-3 et al.

[kev13479]

Travis, what im saying is, well they only make one variation of the cockpits. They should make more than one cockpit for each aircraft.

and the defult clouds dont quite have the IFR in them.

[Travis]

They gave us the ability to create our own cockpits in FSX, something that was missing from previous versions of the sim.  That should be kept in.  It isn't really necessary for them to create extra cockpits for aircraft that are going to be modded out anyway.

I seem to recall having fairly good IFR clouds when I flew in FS.  Although I could be mistaken . . . what standards are you judging this by?

[kev13479]

Travis,
by the realism standards, well i only fly the C172 in real life so i cant judge any of the other aircraft, but the C172 in the flight sim didnt have the feel of the real one, like the speed and the effects (e.x: flaps dont have real effect in the sim)  as they would in real life.
they did a good job non the less ill say that, but this time i think im saying they should step it up a knotch you know what i mean?

[Atticus18]

Atticus: you'll never get MS to give you such specific options.

i realize that.....but the thread is called "what we WISH"

i'll probably end up adding them all myself....and im fine with that!
