A Gooney Bird would liven things up in the FS world like it did in FS 2004 !

"Other sources attribute this name to the first aircraft, a USMC R2D—the military version of the DC-2—being the first aircraft to land on Midway Island, previously home to the long-winged albatross known as the gooney bird, which was native to Midway."

Semi related, Jorg has also said in interviews/past Q&A that we will be getting more AI quality aircraft with this update, licensed ones from France. So I'm guessing at least some Airbuses since they already have a working relationship with them..

Creators could probably make some nice freeware player aircraft out of those models.

Interesting, but we don't have time for non productive chatter.  We like to keep things clean and simple.  The flight sim community "at times" has the potential to turn "humor" in to a royal sh*t show.

It would however be good to see a variant of the Dash 8 from MSFS, which would be properly modeled visually among other things - and would certainly ramp up the commuter enthusiast's interest.

Hey Crosswind,

Not sure if you folks at Majestic have ever reached out to Pilot Emilie.  She could certainly be a high profile promoter of your wonderful plane.

This is my vote. Fix what's already in the game before introducing another disappointment.

I hope it's a curveball and they add the Spruce Goose.😀

FBW 380 maybe?

I doubt it based on the last progress report.

We'll see!

Meh. Let's see them bring the physics engine up to P3D standards and fix their other default aircraft before introducing new ones.

It's already beyond that standard

I heard a rumour it was a Curtiss RC3-2 ...

 

Please a float plane, enough with the tubeliners. Even FSW had a great Super Cub on amphibian floats, All this water and only the Icon?

A nice shell with no meat inside, that would be a sure recipe to bring havoc over here. 

I have no problem with that, you just have to look at the CJ4 and A320 right now and see what the community can make.

Yeah if he had said X-Plane it might have been some truth in that post. All the good Aircraft makers in P3D don't use default, they modify the default physics for their particular aircraft.

MSFS new aircraft? 737, DC-3

Chris

have not had a need to reach out since at this time we are still in development for the TRAINING edition.  But from looking at a previous video of hers she is not really a P3D user.

Time may tell.
