do any of you have a magic wand? there are planes W.I.P. that just feel like i've been waiting for ages. i don't want to wait any more!
anyone else gassin for something? what is it?
 
Queen, first track of the album Miracle.......

Cheers,
Huub


You can get it on YouTube. Either the whole album (The Miracle) or just the first track (which is titled "Party" from what I can see).

There are several web sites that will extract the audio (in .mp3 format) from the video, giving you a music file. One that I use quite a bit is mp3fiber.com.

You can further process it through Audacity software if you desire. :very_drunk:
 
One thing that comes to mind is a thread that was on this site some time ago relating to helicopters we'd like to see. The only ones I can recall being submitted are the Sikorsky Mojave, and the Bell Cheyenne. I think some preliminary work was done on the Cheyenne but that's as far as it went. Sure would be nice to see them, they're exotic creations, for helicopters that is.
 
I took the OP's question to mean, what works-in-progress are you waiting (im)patiently for, vs. a more general wishlist.

If that's accurate... then I want to tread lightly here, because any such list could be taken (wrongly) as a "let's get on with it" kind of demand. Which it isn't. So, just to be clear, I'm more than willing to wait, and I'm grateful for everything that developers do, but I'm checking this and other sites eagerly and too often for...

-- Javis' vintage VC for Manfred's C-47
-- A2A's AT-6 (yes, I know it wasn't announced that long ago, but it shot way up to the top of my list)
-- Joseph's Cessna 170 project
-- The Warbirdsim P-39
-- Any and all B-25's
-- The PMDG DC-6 (I'll try it in X-Plane, but will probably get much more use out of the FSX version)
-- The service pack for the AH Electra (see note for A2A AT-6, above)

Sense a theme? Lots of stuff that leaks oil.

I'm sure I've left many others out. I'll be back as they come to mind, or as others bring them up...

EDIT: Whoops! Posted this before I visited the Electra thread, where it appears that people are beginning to gather with torches and pitchforks to, um, check on the progress of the service pack. Wasn't my intent to join them. Take your time, guys.

See how dangerous this gets?
 
I'd really like to get my hands on the Aeroplane Heaven/Just Flight Dove/Devon which was announced several months ago.

Thanks, but I was referring to this song:

They say 'Good things come to those who wait' :)

I'm patiently waiting of course for the A2A T-6, which will probably be my last purchase as recently lost interest in simming, but this aeroplane has made me stay around.....

Despite their obvious visual differences, most aircraft are built upon very similar theoretical approaches to flight. For heavier-than-air aircraft, most flying machines are based on lift through a rotating blade (like a helicopter), or a fixed wing and some propulsive engine. Rarely does a researcher invent an entirely new method of flying. But last November, at New York University, applied mathematician Leif Ristroph did just that. Ristroph's naturally stable flying machine, the AeroJelly, is only slightly larger than your hand, and pumps its four flapping wings like a flying jellyfish.

"My lab is interested in studying air dynamics and flapping wing flight," says Ristroph, "and I was trying to design something that was stable without any sort of feedback." Ristroph explains that his AeroJelly is more than just an odd curiosity; it's letting him and his colleagues prod into the murky physics behind flexible, flapping wings. "This is very uncharted territory," he says, as the flexible wings change their shape as they flap, and lead to strange aerodynamic properties. "You get this unusual effect where flapping leads to these swirls of air that launch off the wing, and the wings can interact with each other, which is challenging."


Would be interesting to see if some developer can do this.

All native for FSX, naturally...
