I think they're rather focused on Falcon 5 at this point (going by a few public statements they've made). But even that has already generated some controversy with MicroProse... Once upon a time, they did produce civ sim addons, and their work in DCS World eventually rose to a high level of fidelity, so it's possible they could produce a good civ sim addon. But a lot of Razbam subs got burned by the fallout, so not sure they'd sign on for another project...
January 3Jan 3 In my eyes the PMDG JS41 wasn´t that good. IRL being a geared turboprop, in FSX it simply worked like a free turbine, very evident during startup. Offcourse at that time a proper Turboprop model didn´t exist. In FSX the underlying Turboprop modelling was based on The PT-6 (free turbine) and not much could be done with that. With MSFS2024, this might be different. Personally I would like either a proper ATR or the Dash-8 (Q400).

January 3Jan 3 The ATR or Dash 8 would almost certainly be better financial propositions, but they are no match as far as looks, class, and sheer Britishness are concerned Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

Hi: I appreciate your mention of the nuances of the engine characteristics of the JS41 in the FSX SIM. No RW pilot here…🙂…But, yes, it was the FSX version that I must have flown countless times, from Cold & Dark to Engine Shutdown, properly setting up its FMS each time. It always gave me a very distinctive experience unlike any other turboprop of the time in FSX. I greatly enjoyed the experience, and also the sounds of the spooling up (or spooling down) engines. Again, I would not know about the specifics you’ve mentioned. I’m still wishing for PMDG to come up with a better (and more realistic) rendition of it in MSFS2024, before my hair turns much greyer…🙂… We’ll see. Cheers…!

It was not meant as negative critisism, just a headsup that the JS41 wasn+t quite as advanced code wise hat we are used to from PMDG when it comes to simulating it´s engines. Most people never noticed. I only did so cause I coded the Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco, which also had geared turboprops. We actually got a tad closer to simulate these kind of Turboprops. They still used the FSX internal free turbine turboprop model, but we disguised these with more realistic spool up animations of the propellers.

Oh…so, you coded that Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco X of the yesteryears…🙂… A great (twin-turboprop) SIM airplane of its time. The a/c looked a bit strange and was a challenge to fly, but if I recall correctly, I’d eventually mastered it. It was fun…would be also fun to have in MSFS…

It´s main issue was that it´s ground handling was quite aggresive, again something rooted in FSX's weird Turboprop modelling.
