Single seat biplanes are not really good maritime recon/ ASW platforms.

The point is, how many could they manufacture? I was reading the other day that the Nimrod had to be converted from existing Comet airframes as the jigs were broken up many years ago. Unless they have a reserve of old Comets laying around somewhere it doesn't sound a very practical export proposition to me. ::)

They have all the airfrmes they need for the UK MRA4s, and since that order was cut, several spare. Then, as the MRA4 gradually replaces the MR2, there will be all the remaining MR2 airframes to choose from... :)

Then again, the USN probably wanted about 400 of them ;)

The newest X-Plane is amazing. I say it's a little less or equal to FS9


You're kidding.... right?

The graphics suck big time :o
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
GeForce FX5200 256Mb
1GB DDR400 DC

Let's just hope that there is as big a difference from FS2000 to FS2002, as it is from FS9 to FS10.  I'm looking for better water effects, and that's about it.

With all the addons, and the quality of the default craft ::), i'm not striving for more aircraft.

I'll tell you what I would love to see incorporated in the next version...
...Golden glows on the ground scenery when the sun is shining, especially when it's shining through holes in the clouds... 8)...!
..in fact, the whole scenery to brighten up on a sunny day...!

At the moment the scenery colour remains the same regardless of wether the sun is shining, or not... :'(...!
Only the colour of the individual trees change, depending on the time of year...(apart from snow)...!

Cheers all...!

Paul....loves flying on sunny days...an excuse to don the "shades"... ;)... ;D...!

First and foremost they should find a way to fix the poles.  It's pointless to have airports there the way it is now.  Way too disorienting.

I'm thinking almost none of the CoF historic planes will be back.
