It would also be cool to have real world airlines (eg. American Airlines) instead of fictional airlines (eg. World Travel Airlines)

There's only really one plane I would like other that the norm airliners (Boeing, Airbus), and that is
CONCORDE!!!!!!!!!!!
At the moment I cant find any desent payware or freeware addons for it 
PLEASE MS!

I'd like to see airplanes that make a little bit of smoke! I'll take anything from Douglas, or the early generation of Boeing jets. But then again, tell me someone at Microsoft has heard of a BAC-1-11 before.

Microsoft should not allow questionable add-ons such as Abacus FD5 & 6 unless the developers got all their bugs out and have the facility to provide good technical support for their products.

Microsoft should not allow questionable add-ons such as Abacus FD5 & 6 unless the developers got all their bugs out and have the facility to provide good technical support for their products.

But... but if they at M$ themselves are the first who don't work their bug out in the first instance before marketing their software (hence the proliferations of patches bombastically called "service packs" that act like a cork applied to the sinking Titanic, that while not always fixing a problem almost always manage to create new and enticing problems to the users), how can they demand the others to do differently? :-?

But, if you really think the way you do, be happy, that if they really decide to follow the evil ways of Apple and blind Flight only to the add-on they approve in a compartmentalization that will make EVERYONE unhappy (beside them, of course), we'll soon have a new phenomenon in our hand: the growth of pirate freeware. Won't that be nice? And, what will be next?

Maybe a couch made of cactus bark with a properly positioned banana-shaped growth for the user to compulsorily seat upon or the software won't even start, I guess... after all, there is just so many people that LOVE to feel as many layers of pain as possible around. Masochism in its purest form.

Complaining with people who couldn't care less doesn't work. In a free market (and let's hope Flight will still have one) there is only ONE way to discourage bad payware, or software in general, to proliferate, and that is NOT TO BUY IT. If bad payware software and/or add-ons exist is because some <expletive deleted> buy it. No other reason. If people stop buying products made of crap, these will stop proliferating.

With the new aircraft/pilot licensing structure that has brought with it a wave of home built LSA aircraft and pilots.  It would be nice to see some of those arrive some time soon. Several good aircraft builders about that do justice to smaller aircraft. It would be nice to see a few of those be turned out with better quality than a few i just deleted..  It just seems we have been mauled to death and the aircreations lacks creation, imho.

I think in most aspects the FSX aircraft were quiet good. However, I think some changes are needed.

1. Most of the sounds need to be massively improved. Most of them are almost the same as FS9.

2. The A321 fly-by-wire was annoying. In real life FBW is supposed to make flying easier, in FSX it did not (for a taste of what FBW should be like, try fiddling with it in X-Plane). The A321 passenger windows were tiny, and it was MASSIVELY overpowered. If this isn't possible stick with non-FBW aircraft or don't implement it at all.

3. Flight dynamics need to be massively improved (i.e. try flying default 747-400 then try flying PMDG 747 or even ifly 747).

4. Most HUD implementations are not smooth and the direction indicator on them (I don't know what it's called) is inaccurate.

Other than that, the virtual cockpits were beautiful, the external models were usually very decent, and the gauges were very nice.

In my last post, I think I wished for too many aircraft. Rather have quality of aircraft rather than quantity.

Airbus A380
Boeing 737-700/800 <-- port from FSX. Improve sound, external model and FD.
Bombardier Dash-8 Q400
Gulfstream 550 or 650.
Cessna 162
Cessna 400 or an old Mooney
Edge 540 or Extra 300 <-- port from FSX. Improve FD.
DG 808S sailplane <-- port from FSX.
R-22 <-- port from FSX.
F/A-18 <-- port from FSX, improve the sound, HUD and FD
Grumman goose

Use the freed resources to improve the game engine.

Hrmmmmmmm..... been gone a while, day-dreaming about FLIGHT... and after considering the aircraft revealed to us so far, I have a simple logical prediction I'd like to share, based on the progression of these facts:

1) Boeing Stearman - Low & Slow Biplane with great training qualities, Open Cockpit, Taildragger.

2) Maule Orion M-7 260C - High-Wing-Single STOL Bushplane, Light & Simple, Enclosed Cockpit, Taildragger.

3) Van's RV-6A - Modern Low-Wing-Single, Clean bubble-like Enclosed Cockpit, Fixed Tricycle Gear.

And so, I think it stands to reason, that #4 will be...

4) Beechcraft Baron 58 (Or something quite similar) - Low-Wing-Twin, Retractable Tricycle Gear.

Anyone else like this logic? [smiley=beer.gif]

What A/C should be in MS Flight and what do we want from them?

I for one, would like to see full VCs with all clickable cockpits and cabins.
As for what types of aircraft, they did a pretty good job with FSX and Accel IMO, but maybe a little broader selection of aircraft. I think there should be something for everyone; from hot-air-balloons to F-15s, Cessnas and Mooneys to Boeings and Airbusses, auto-giros to Mil V-12s.

What do you think??

The most common airliners from Boeing, Airbus, MD, Ilyushin and Tupolev since the 1960s jet age start I hope!
