Classic Airplane List for GAS's consideration..

There is a fantastic Ercoupe (for free!), with a beautiful and very detailed VC besides, available here: http://www.classicwings.net/erco_ercoupe.html
Bill Lyon's old Luscombe Silvaire was converted to FSX-native and is available here (of course very dated in appearance): http://www.classicwings.net/luscombe_silvaire.html
There is a very nice freeware Mooney Mite, by Tim "Piglet" Conrad, complete with a detailed VC, which can be found in the library here and elsewhere.
There is an FSX-native conversion of the FS9 Jenny, which can be found in the file library here and elsewhere - which I fly regularly. (In fact, between that, the DC-3 and Cub that are already in FSX, and the FS9-to-FSX native conversions available at Classic Wings, you can fly all of the FS9 vintage aircraft in FSX, as FSX-native aircraft, except for the Wright Flyer).
FlySimWare has a payware Cessna 140.


An FSX-native Ryan SCW would be nice!

In my humble opinion, you cannot get a better Ercoupe than Full's release from classic wings. Included is one with a "Scrappy II" paint scheme which represents the Ercoupe I once owned back in the late 1980s. His update of Bill Lyon's Luscombe 8A is also a good Luscombe model. I also really like the FlySimWare Cessna 120. SimFlight3D has a great Cessna 140. I bought my first one for FS9. It was the first payware I bought for FSX.

Gosh, so many great planes. One that comes to mind for me is the Boeing Model 80 trimotor.

I even have a list of my own! Fleet 16b.......Curtiss Fledgling.....dare I say Waco SRE.......Curtiss Wright Falcon....Stearman C3....Pitts Samson.....and Jimmy Franklins Jet powered Waco!
 
An FSX-native Ryan SCW..... The most eye-catching plane A polished 1938 RYAN -SCW . It can be blinding, in fact. It is a two-place side-by-side stick-control sport flyer. Great Plane getting Lost In History!





 
So honored that you would ask us to do the work. Many on your list are on ours. Current work is ourfreeware Aeronca C3 Master. Following that the Cessna T 50 Bobcat Civilian and Military. Somewhere in the line is the Boeing 247. We are also trying to build all of the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome fleet. So many planes so little time.

Looking forward to all of those, Paul - especially the Bamboo Bomber. Keep up the great work, GAS! :ernaehrung004:
 
I've been very impressed with the quality of GAS's offerings to date. I have their Ryan St-A and PT-22, as well as their Great Lakes. So, for their consideration, I'd like to suggest:

1) Davis D-1-K and/or D-1-W
2) Fleet Canuck
3) Anderson-Greenwood AG-14
4) Hatz Biplane with a Kinner radial or Menasco or LOM inlines
5) Aeronca 15AC Sedan
6) Lincoln Sport
7) Bowers Fly Baby

GAS biplanes should carry a wealth warning. I'm sure I will succumb to the Shtompe soon, the rest are already hangered in 9 and X.

Another European Classic which is sadly missing from the sim world is the Bucker Jungmeister.

Agree completely.

Either with the inline-engine, or the radial.

Or both :biggrin-new:
