A Poll, FSX Freeware Aircraft Wish List

I am working on several aircraft models and some are primarily for the purpose of learning spline modeling techniques. I have not been able to get enthusiastic about any of them. I thought that I would ask the SOH community what aircraft they would like to see go into development for FSX as freeware. Maybe this would stimulate my modeling appetite. I would very much like to hear from all of you on this subject but with the caveat that it must be military or used in some capacity by the military and is no longer in service.

Let the poll begin,

Paul, for me, a C-119 or C-46 would be very welcome. However, surely you need to think about which aircraft you yourself are interested in, before considering other people's wishes, don't you ? You would need that motivation to keep going through the long process of producing a model.

And I just know you are hugely interested in ... the C-119 and the C-46 ! :icon_lol:

As one of my favorite aircraft, I would like to see a Boulton-Paul Defiant for FSX. Nobody has made one as of now.

Cheers!

That would be a +2 (Walter, Firekitten, myself) on the B-P Defiant - a very interesting aircraft indeed!!

Every aircraft is a labor of love to the person who is working on it.......
Yes their are many out here for us to use, and many, many more that have not or never made.....
Find an aircraft that is important to you, or has special meaning to you.....even if it is one that is available now. We are always looking for more and better aircraft to fly.....
My Vote would be for a better version of one of these 2 aircraft......
The Brewster Buffalo, or even the Australian Boomerang.....
Or even a real nice version of the SPAD XII.....
 
Not meant to misdirect the topic, although Paul did say "aircraft"

I've thunk (?) what my next model may be when I get finished with my current.

The Kaman K-Max I'd considered mainly for the creation challenge. I know nothing about systems. So others of knowledge would be needed as/to create a team to see the project to fruition.
Also, resource searches (on my part) didn't come up with much to go by aside from small 3-views and not-so great images. Documentation is a must have (for me) to even consider it.

The K-Max flight manual is available for free online through the company, and I'm willing to bet they'd provide you with additional info if you reached out to them! :)

C-119 Fairchild.....I know there is one, but it's a bit "aged" and we could use a re-worked model.
