For me you can add:
- Su-50 PakFa
- Saab Gripen (Would be very popular if made in good quality I think)
- Do228 (most wanted)
 
b52bob, check out this Tu-144D. I LOVE it, but it takes a lot of setup and is very peculiar. But this thread is VERY helpful.
Anyways, for FSX I wish there was an Aerion AS2, a SAI QSST, and Sukhoi S-21. Anyone know if someone is working on any of those right now?

Hi there Tom!
Yep, I said the "S" word. For as many times the subject has come up, I'm honestly shocked that one has not been made yet. The resources are out there. Plenty enough to make an honest re-creation.

Canards need some recognition in our simulator too! :encouragement:
 
My main military interest is post WWII nav ops, but also have bouts of Cold War SAC nostalgia. Have populated some SAC bases, e.g., Loring, Barksdale, Seymour Johnson and Carswell with AI B-36's, B-47's, B-52's and just got the "Supersonic Supermodel" - B-58 Hustler. Most of these AI I have converted from flyables and the fps is not bad on my high end system if I keep the numbers small. I usually have a bunch of parked planes (rarely more than a dozen) and some doing TNG's at each base, putting flightplans together manually using TTools. Gives a great atmosphere.

Beside the bombers, there are lots of fighters to fly from this period, obviously the Century Series, both free and payware. Must have been growing up as a kid in the 60's and watching movies like Strategic Air Command, A Gathering of Eagles, Dr Strangelove (an all time favorite film), Fail Safe, etc that captured the attraction of this period.

As the Cold War has been rated highly here in this poll, I encourage others interested also to check out the MAIW "Retro AI" and other forum pages that cover this era.
 
I really would love (and pay) for the Ju-88 family.Best we can get today are CFS2 portovers-good but way behind todays standards.Even an output without VC of the CFS2 one in FSX to swap in annother VC would be great

And if we think about more christmas'ses a Ju-288 too

I woud love to get my grubby paws on a Piaggio P136 Gull, on which the P166 (of which we have quite a few) is based on.
It will be great to complete the family of these unusual aircraft.
 
1) F-15D with back-seat controls (since that's the one fighter I have actual stick time on!)
2) F-8E Crusader (native FSX)
3) XF8U-3 Super Crusader (I know that's super-niche, but it'd be amazing!)
4) F5D Skylancer (Same as above : )
