I don't think C means that a payware dev should do one
now - I believe he's suggesting that had a payware dev done a model back before Falcon and Radioman did all their work on revamping this model that a payware release would have been very successful. If so, I agree with him - a near universally adopted trainer that was used for over four decades.
Things being what they are though, the window for such a product to succeed commercially is almost closed - a great freeware model with a ton of repaints ... I agree with Ferry. Only a "study" (aka Accusim) sim version would sway a few hard-core T-bird purists to fork out extra dough - but the bar has been set exceedingly high with the combination of the updated model and new paints.
I'm a big fan of the T-bird but honestly, this model, and the great repaints coming out for it - more than adequately scratch my T-Bird itch.
Henry - your late era CF scheme rocks!!! What a surprise - was hoping for that one, but felt I had made too many requests as it was, couldn't bring myself to suggest it. Thanks so much. It'll be the official squadron hack companion for my CF-104 #707 in similar colours ....
... also painted by Henry!
Thanks so much - looking forward to these.
ps: Your Luftwaffe paints looks delightful too.
