Who developed the Grumman Goose in the video?  Is it the Big Radials one?

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Intel 14900K in a Z790 motherboard with water cooling, RTX 4080, 32 GB 6000 CL30 DDR5 RAM, W11 and MSFS on Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD's.  Core Isolation Off, Game Mode Off.

I just noticed on the glider trail they have a guy running with the wing tip at launch. If they're modelling that my hopes are high.....

It's the Grumman Goose that intrigues me - I wonder if it's the Big Radials model, or something new.

 

@bobcat999 our posts crossed - you beat me to it. 😅

It could be for a glider challenge mission 

No mention of the Skyraider in there, and no show for the Beaver as well - I hope that is still included. 

Edit:  I just caught a glimpse of the Beaver in there actually.

Everything is still in it. Jorg gave the number of aircraft it hasn’t changed.

Has anyone tried subtly suggesting to MSFS that there are some famous aircraft that were created AFTER the 1930s ?

The Beaver briefly appears in the video preview that they show, so it's still there. Didn't see a Skyraider though.

Never a problem Paul.  It happens in fast moving threads like this.  :biggrin:

So...  I suppose we could do with a list of the twelve free aircraft they mentioned.

I know what you mean, and agree - then again, we are getting aircraft that few other developers would consider, so it's good from that angle. Do people fly them much, though ?

The Beechcrafts I can see being flown and maybe the Ju-52 but I can't see that many people getting much out of the others

I believe Milviz said they sold the completed Skyraider package to someone.  A few of us may have been barking up the wrong tree thinking it was MS / Asobo.  :unsure:  
Unless it is another surprise of course.
