I normally sit in the background when questions like this appear, but there are aircraft I would love to see produced to full FSX standard and willing to pay for it. So I thought why not make a poll, and maybe the devs and modellers out there might get some inspiration.

My era of simming is WW2 and post war Props, and first and second Generation Jets.

So here goes with my wish list

WW2 - A6m series

Post War - Hawker Sea Fury

First Gen Jet - P-80/T-33/Seastar

Second Gen Jet - EE Lightning

I don't think I did the poll right; I clicked on "WWII Props," and it grabbed that as my vote. What I meant to indicate was: Bruce is right, we need at least one Zero.
 
It's me noy too sure on how to make it show up as individual items per se, i.e what you would choose from each era
 
I think a smaller bizjet is missing - I'm talking Falcon 10, Hawker H25B, Learjet 23/25, Gulfstream (yes I know their stance on fs models)
 
There's a difference between what is missing and what I, personally, don't have enough of. WW2 props aren't missing at all, as we have plenty compared to first and second gen jets. Yet some people may think they don't have enough, as it's their favourite type of aircraft.
 
The Sikorsky S-61N ....................................well untill project S-61 is finished , but we still need a good Westland sea king and SH3
 
My take....

Post-war prop: Fokker F-27 (I know Mike Stoe did one YEARS ago, but...) , P2V-5F Neptune (I know Alpha did a -7 four years ago, but...), Grumman S-2F Tracker and C1A Trader (I know there is an portover payware version from a number of years ago, but....)

First Gen Jet: Why, T-33A, of course (I know Piglet did one six years ago, but...)

Also...a NATIVE FSX B-57B/C/E (and also an EB-57!)

I have an A6M Zero... wtih a little work, it could be made ready for FSX.... Should I?

I *think* that another developer has plans to release a Zero (JF)...if that doesn't matter to you then the more the merrier! :)



Edit: As for the original question "What aircraft do you think is missing from FSX?"

How long is a piece of string? :)

There are literally hundreds,if not thousands of designs that simmers would love to fly in native format in FSX. I'd personally like to see some Cold War ex-Soviet military hardware Mig's 23,27,25,31,Sukhoi Su-17/22,24,25, Tupolev Tu-95, Mil Mi-8,12,17,26 etc etc etc etc :d

Personally I believe that the early European aviation always came too short in flight simulations.
For whatever reasons developers tend to believe that aviation history was only written in the States what is by far not the case.
The absence of the first all metal - and commercially succesfull - passenger plane the Junkers F13 in FS9, subtitled "A Century Of Flight" sais it all.
So no vote for a specific plane from me but lobbying for early European aviation in general here.
