I don't understand why we don't have an extremely detailed Wright Flyer.

Bring back PMDG's awesome "lite" Beech 1900D.    Let's have a nice float plane that actually see's widespread use by bush pilots instead of the current BMW of the waves we currently have.  Finally a good Twin Otter and a Dash 8 to round it out.   Lukla is simply BEGGING for a Twin Otter.

Somewhere back in flight model discussions, it was pointed out that the current biplane in the sim is being modeled as just a single wing. Apparently -- and someone correct me if this is wrong -- the current flight model only uses a single wing and conventional tailplane as primary flight surfaces. It might not be possible to model the Flyer accurately until additional flight surfaces like canards are available. 

All of the above!

Can't wait till some zany devs test out the flight model with these...

PMDG JetStream 41
Aerosoft Catalina
A2A B17 and B377
as with those I could give up P3Dv3 and XPlane11 making MSFS my all in one sim as I know the other planes I enjoy flying are coming to MSFS

Err...okay.  I meant that as a joke.

There can be only one. The mighty A380. Study level too while you’re at it please. That would make my Christmas. 

Anyone mentioned any old and classic propliner here? A Super Constellation would be my dream... yes my eyes are so squared of looking all those screens all the time in the default planes (which are very nice btw).

Did anyone say Comet yet?

I personally like flying GA aircraft and classic airliners, so I am hoping A2A simulations will bring the Lockheed Constellation to the sim. I have flown that aircraft In P3D through  thunderstorms with the passengers  screaming in terror in the back, very realistic lol and a nice touch was the air hostess bringing the crew coffee. I also once got the sack from the airline for landing without the gear down! All good fun.

I'm looking forward to more private jets like the Gulfstream and Embraer.

With R3550 Cyclones like the Bearcats use at Reno 😄   Steam gauges and radial engines are the win.

Definitely a lack of big radials in the current choices. I still want a Staggerwing though.

I doubt you will ever see a Gulfstream, but Embraer has a lot to offer.  What do you have in mind?  A big one or a smaller one?

By default I want the PMDG 737 and A2A Skylane 182T, my two most flown aircraft in P3D.

Other than those, I'd love a 727, even if not all systems are simulated. An Aerosoft-quality 727 would be great. I'd also love the 777X for the long flights.
