And finally - if not a STOL as such? - the C-123K. Capable of operating from some rough air strips. ( Maybe in a CAT livery for some clandestine cargo? ) And a couple of Pratt & Whitney R-2800 would be nice to have in the hangar

As well as the Bronco, but in a fire spotter livery though

As a two engine kite the DHC 5 Buffalo could be an interesting acquaintance in Flight ^_^

The Bronco.

I second that! Milton's Dash 7 is a hoot.. And the passenger/cargo variant would be nice! ^_^ But a DHC-5 Buffalo would do too B) In the helicopter catagory the Bell UH-1 or Hughes OH-6 Cayuse (The last one is not the typical bush chopper I guess? But would be handy for some hot-dogging in Hawaii) Take care!

I am an 'occasionally flight simmer' taking a spin for a few hours when real life permits. My 'records' in flight simming goes back to CFS2, IL2, FS2000 (What a dog!), FS9 and FSX. And no tube liners to me, thank you. Cruising at 30.000 feet gets a bit boring in the long run. No, I like to fly low and slow, bush flying style. With challenging weather and approaches, up-hill, cross wind and very short landings. Separately or all together. And I sometimes fly 'heading, time and distance' with the GPS turned of. Thus the visuals has always been paramount to me. And I have roamed the internet for hours for add-ons for my flight sims. I have struggled, tweaked and adjusted' hardware as well as software to 'push' both to perform just that single percent better than last time. Using at least the same amount of time on tweaking as on flying (I guess this goes for most flight simmers?) Then came Flight. I like it because it's kind of 'instant'. It's a matter of a very few minutes and you are in the air. I like the Van RV-6 for being a 'hot rod' with a G-meter. I like the Stearmann because it's a biplane with an open cockpit and I love to' make 'Navy style approaches' to be able to see the runway 'all the way down' I like the Icon because it's something different. Not many planes to choose from. But as I have seen one member mention, you get to know every plane better. Never cared about checklists in any other sim. And I like the flight models. Not a pilot, never been and probably never will be, but they 'feel right'. As I see it, flight models has not been the main focus area for most modellers. That be MS or 3rd party modellers. You could end up in a Mi-24 Hind with the flight model from the standard Bell 206. No bellyache intended, just an example And, by the way, from where should they know how a Hind flies? I saw mentioned somewhere that FS9/FSX has 'one wing flight models', not separate 'right wing/left wing' flight models? Hence you can't do proper aerobatics e.g. hammerhead manoeuvres in those sims? True? And will we be able to enter an adverse yaw in 'Flight'? Or is this just wishful thinking? A grasp for the proverbial moon on a stick? I like the detailed scenery. I like the weather (Does the wind drift your plane by the way?) And so far it meets my desires and it has all what I have been wishing for in a flight sim. And when the Alaska scenery comes around, I'll go and get it for sure. But with all these goodies, I have found that I miss something: A good set of rudder pedals! What do you have, if you have? What are your experiences and recommendations? After a quick and not very thorough search, I found these 'candidates' with the 'Combat' pedals as the initial first choice: Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals Saitek Pro Flight CESSNA Rudder Pedals Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals CH Pro Pedals From http://flightcontrols.org: Ch Products Pro Pedals Vs Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals vs Logitech G940 Flight Pedals They cost about the same, although you maybe able to find the Saitek pedals slightly cheaper Saitek pedals have an adjustable tension spring and deadzone configurations that make the pedals less sensitive to small changes while your foot is resting Biggest problem with Saitek: Warning. There has been reports that stomping down on the pedals can force them to push to far into the base and effectively lock up. What follows then is a time consuming process requiring removing about 20 screws to reset the pedals. Saitek pedals are spaced wider apart and is more comfortable for center mounted joystick setups. CH Pedals are known for their reliability, unfortunately some users of saitek pedals seem to run into toe brakes breaking very quickly. Logitech G940 flight pedals are not available for sale separately. If you already own a HOTAS or a joystick, than a G940 would be overkill. Have a nice weekend and take care J
