Gweduck is a 1 off. It fly's out of Renton and last I heard they are trying to sell it and the design. I have seen it in real life and its a very impressive aircraft with 1 major flaw. There is a small port between the cockpit and cabin. A lot of pilots really like the Gweduck from the outside, but took one look at that, and walked away. Simply because if you need to get out in a hurry, it will be VERY hard.

 

Good to know.

 

But, on the other hand, sims are the one place you don't need to worry about egress! :lol:

Maybe I've watched Ice Pilots NWT too much, but a DC-3 or a C-47 would be fun, and would definitely help towards those passenger and cargo achievements. I'd also love one if these and some SAR missions to go with it:

I always liked the Catalina. A very versatile aircraft and would be great for SAR missions.

I would go with a Beaver!

Any Heli, Twotter or Do228, ATR 42 or Dash 8, Caravan.

What do YOU want to see flying in Alaska?

 

Since you mentioned Alaska and I have one for FSX, I feel a Quest Kodiak would be a nice addition.

 

See how nicely that ties together! Floats, Cargo, STOL, fairly fast = a nice plane for me and Ariel to go exploring with... :Kiss:

I'd like a natural progression from the other deluxe planes, maybe go for a faster twin like a Duke or Seneca. But I just saw that pic of the Twotter and floats, lovely!

 

All I want really is my insane Cub with a pit.

a helicopter is my #1 desire - Twin Otter #2 - Beaver is #3

 

haven't seen anyone else say it - would like to see a basic (non-glass) 172 also

 

I hope it goes without saying - all of the above would need to have cockpits...

I really like Lance's suggestion - Quest Kodiak! :Hug: That would be so nice and different.

 

But, I'll settle for the Beaver with floats.

 

Best regards.

Same as newthog but add a DC-3 to the list. Also a KingAir 350 for the longer trips.

 

Also, gotta have a helicopter - 206, 412, UH-1, or something similar.

 

Gotta have a good floatplane also. Cub on floats or a Caravan on floats would be great.

 

Most of all, all must have a VC.

Grumman Goose all the way. I wouldn't need any other airplane. Last I looked, there was one for sale in Vancouver: Pacific Costal wanted to sell one of the 4 they were currently flying.

I'd vote for a twin too. Twin Otter, Catalina, DC-3. This all sounds good. Dash 8 would be great, but a plane of this complexity seems very far from the focus of Flight currently, I can't see this happening anytime soon.

 

Anyway with the hints of the Carbon Cub VC, Flight is back on track for me - at least it's back into a fight against X-Plane 10... I can't decide which, although the fact that Flight is so simple and quick to setup and launch makes it a better real alternative to X-Plane (while XP 10 might be the alternative to FSX in a couple of years if all goes well...).

I know what your talking about with XP10. I want to love it so badly, but I spend more time configuring the thing then flying it! Plus what do they put on those 8 DVD's if the world looks so generic?

 

I personally would LOVE to see a Seabee up in Alaska, but dont count on that happening any time soon unless MS changes there policy on 3rd party dev's.

If we are to have a goose... lets make it this one

The goose on the left is the one that was used in FSX for reference. =) Sadly I dont think Antillies still makes the G-21G conversions.
