Yes, they released an early development shot of the Hunter a good while ago, and I'm assuming they haven't abandoned it. To be honest, while I love Flying Iron, their lack of communication is maddening. I wish they'd give us something definite on the B-17G

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

And I'm not criticizing! We like what we like!
I just wish people were more accepting of simpler planes, so that we could get more niche/unusual aircraft like we had in the FSX/P3D days. (Actually, I just wish MSFS had done actually working back-compatibility on FSX/P3D planes -- that would have solved a lot of this.)
Well, don't you think that's kinda true ? Ok, more or less... I'm not that much interested in it myself but isn't it true that quite a few FSX/P3D models *do* actually work satisfactory in MSFS20/24 ? And then the process is going on to push some of these models further into the realm of MSFS20/24, like f.i. the wonderful Flight Replicas FSX B-24. I'd love PMDG to get their magnificent DC-6 fully native MSFS2024 but the model does already work fine in 24 be it that i can't get the flaps to work. Didier (Lagaffe) and me have got the green light from Mike (CYUL) to get his DC-4 up to 24 scratch and i can imagine there might be a lot more where this comes from.
I bet Virtavia's Demon, Skywarrior, Skyray, Thunderstreak, Crusader might join the Cutlass before the MP B-17 gets her final take-off clearance.. ;-)

No, I've tried to convert a couple of FSX/P3D planes. For them to work/fly anything approaching right, there's a ton of rebuilding involved with animations, flight modeling, instruments, in some cases having to completely rebuild the interior (see all of the work Lagaffe has been doing to get the A-26 over, for instance). It's beyond my ability. You can run them through modelconverter and sometimes get something into MSFS, but it's not really a simulation of the original plane anymore at that point, just a visual model that kinda flies.
