December 3, 20223 yr I miss the DC-4 package from Flight Replicas and did a lot of flying in the Carvair. Especially flying cargo around Alaska in that plane. I thought I heard it was coming to MSFS back when MSFS first came out but so far nothing new on it. It might be another 5 years down the road but I am hopeful we will get a DC-4 and especially a Carvair in MSFS. Think about how much fun it would be bombing around Alaska in a Carvair in MSFS? It was fun in FSX but MSFS would be a even better! One of the things that is starting to concern me about MSFS is the lack of development. Here we are not far from 3 years in and we really don't have much. Many projects are in the works but some will end up being vaporware. We finely have the world with incredible detail but not much to fly in it. With it taking practically as long to develop a plane for MSFS as it does the real thing I have a feeling its something that we are going to have to get used to. We sure had a nice selection in previous sims. In the last couple of years before MSFS you could practically fly whatever you wanted in FSX including several variations of the same aircraft. I am sure in another 5 to 10 years MSFS will start to really fill in but it will likely take that long and I think we will have to get used to it. I am missing a lot of stuff. 727's both 100 and 200 and all the variants we had. DC-9's and not just a 30 but a 10-50 model. 737 Jurassic's and Classics. We could sure use a 707 and certainly would not pass on a DC-8. Don't forget the 747 classics and the DC-10 is sure a nice ride and might as well take an L-1011 as well. I as thinking the other day how nice it would be to have a VC-10 as well. Basically all the goodness we had in FSX I would like to see in MSFS as one day. Back then it was a real smorgasbord of airplanes! I don't think we will ever totally get there in MSFS but what we will get will be of much higher quality. Just my prediction!

Oh we have development and what is going on is deeper then ever but compared to previous sims its pretty lacking. Especially 2 and half years in. I am talking about 3rd party airplanes and not the sim itself. As for the sim itself lots of development. I hope eventually 3rd party airplanes really blossom and its improving but we still have a long way to go before we have what we had in FSX. We may never see it but what we will get will be better then what we had back then. Its something we will have to get used to!
December 3, 20223 yr @longhaul747, think of that new rate as characteristic of one of the Major changes that MFS brought with it, breaking up with a Legacy flight model that was stable and more or less easily to "tame" by expert designers/developers... The MODERN FM is a completely new challenge, with a worth of potential and actually still under development, so, just as WASM and the whole design techniques for an MFS 2020 module are, so developers have to take their time if they don't simply want to jump in and make their models the easy-go way...

Its something we will have to get used to! it is much more difficult to develop for msfs than for fsx, and i think we have a good selection sofar. we will never going to see the amount of freeware fsx had, for planes, scenery yes, because that is easy. i can only fly one plane at a time.

MSFS is not much over two years old and already in its 11th incarnation. In that perspective, 2 1/2 years is really not a long time. Presently, patience is in very short supply.

But it took a lot longer for sims like FSX and P3D to develop such a library of aircraft. MSFS third party development will accelerate now the SDK is maturing and the sim is more stable. My feelings are that we might struggle to keep up with third party releases in 2023, but even 2022 wasn't bad - my wallet tells me! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

December 3, 20223 yr Do I miss any plane ? None really ! I loved my An-2 or T-Duke or T6 or warbirds but I have new lovely toys to fly bringing new experiences. I don't even miss my numerous A2A birds as one can buy now the same high level of craftmanship from other dev. About the rate of development, I'd say that I've never seen such a rapid deployment of quality freeware or payware in the first two years after the launch of a new sim. This is incredible for the old simmer that I am.
