B314 clipper?
The "Pilot's Clipper" was a favorite for me in 2002 and 2004 but I see no way of porting it to FsX.
 
A remarkable aircraft that epitomized the dawning of trans-continental flight. An A2A quality version of this plane would be remarkable but I sincerely doubt it will ever come to pass but I have to wonder if it would sell any less then yet another version of the same few standards.
 
Tim,

A B-314 from you would be beyond my wildest dreams. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that be the most ambitious project ever for you?
 
Jens has one in the pipeline for both FSX/FS9.

"I'm working on one - the model is more or less finished, and so is the VC / Panel, but I'm going to buy a genuine Flight Manual (it is available from several sources) and rework the flight dynamics before I release it, so it could take some months

Best regards

Tim.. I think that would be incredible and would love to see it.. And the plane is big enough so that you could put a little bed in there somewhere, where Ben could look out the window and watch the clouds go by.. I'd like that very much..
 
While I have barely slept since Jen's announcement (not really, but it made for good reading), I eagerly await his 314. I'm blown away by what Tim Conrad just mentioned as well. I might actually not sleep now...

:guinness:
 
Somebody gotta tell that Jens to get off his aft end and finish it! Then I can continue my "Timmy Trainer" series.
 
I was a beta tester on the Pilot version and spent many hours flying that wonderful plane. One for FSX would be a dream come true.
 
WOW!

Mr. Piglet you make the best stuff, so I hope you will do this one. I just can not give you enough praise. Thanks for all your work.

data, history, might help someone

An old gizzers tale----back in 1960 when I was a farmboy teen, a new neighbor moved into the country, a mere mile and a quarter down the road. In short, he flew for PanAm in intercontinental 707 but in WWII he flew 314 clippers.
