Hi there, Based on all the input sofar, I'd like to propose the following list of aircraft for inclusion in the next release:
787 A-10 bf109 bo105 c172 c172p SenecaII Beaver B1900d Lightning j3cub seahawk p51d pa28-161 Bocian choice of (T38, or Catalina, or Blackbird) ufo bleriot-XI-yasim In response to the previous discussions, please note the following: - After some testing this afternoon, I'd decided I prefer to keep the bf109. Yes, it's pretty hard to get off the ground, but after testing I did not have the impression that new users will blame this on bad programming. - I prefer the bochian over the schweizer for exactly the same reason why we want to swap the 737 for the 787: The schweizer only has a 2d cockpit, and and panning the view makes you feel lost. Also, the bochian has very easy acces to the aerotow features. (Although the schweizer might, didn't really check that). - I'm still undecided regarding the T38. As I wrote earlier, I feel that the "small powerful jet" category is a bit overrepresented. Therefore, I'd like to swap that with an altogether different category. After browsing the repository, and some random sampling, I found two aircraft that seemed quite advanced enough for inclusion, each representing a category of it's own: The Blackbird, and the Catalina. I did not a few problems with the latter two aircraft, however: - Blackbird: Couldn't get the engines started (somehow, the 's' key didn't seem to respond. - Catalina: Doesn't always seem to recognize ground contact points (e.g. at EHAM it fell through the runway, and acted as a float plane). I'm trying to finalize the list today or tomorrow, so I'd strongly prefer not to make big changes. However, there is possibly still room for improvement, so please let me know if you have suggestions for change.
