Fairchild F-27, Fairchild-Hiller FH-227, NAMC YS-11

Any of these regional airliners in dev for MSFS ??, F-27, FH-227, YS-11 were popular with regional airlines from the 60's thru 80's, that RR Dart sound on all three !.

The F-27 and FH-227 would be a day one purchase for me.

Of these twin dart types, the HS748 would be the first on the list for me. 

Strange how many people talk about the YS-11 but not the HS748. 182 built versus 380 for the HS748.

NAMC YS-11 would be first for me due to its global reach, but I’m not aware of any in dev. Most sim users want devs to expend resources on the latest aircraft seen in real life, not these unique old birds.

Yes, me too, MSFS should have more classic airliners, Martin 404's, Convair 340's etc., not 100 versions of A320's

I flew in those with greek Olympic Airways from Athens. those Rolls Royce dart turbo props were noisy as hell.182 built, 27 total losses (15%). Olympic had 9, 2 of those crashed.

Clearly classic turboprop airliners aren't expected to sell very well (and/or the turboprop modelling limitations in the sim scare off devs)

I believe its Cockspur that are developing an AN-26 with the help of a Ukrainian team. Pretty much the Soviet equivalent of the F-27 and one that I'm really looking forward to.
