New FSX Aircraft in development?

SOH-CM-2025
Does anyone know if any of the following aircraft are in development for FSX?

- AV-8B Harrier (and dual training version)
- AJ-37 Saab Viggen
- F-4U Corsair
- A-7D Corsair II
- T-38 Talon

I've been out looking and I have not seen much out there for FSX...

Just wondered. Thanks!

Cheers,

Kent
 
Rats, darn No FSX Native Dolphins in production:banghead::banghead::banghead: Although there's a FSX Nstive Panther lurkin.:applause::d Meet the 1st FSX Native AS565 Panther.
 
FSD are to release an fsx'd Talon. No AV-8B in development afaik though a lil birdie tells me that Iris may release their fs9 DSB Harrier as freeware "soon" which may well fly and look ok in fsx (albeit probably only under dx9c):kilroy:

The VC isn't flyable - the HUD is "silvered out" - the old FS9-in-FSX transparency problem. It should be easy to fix by replacing the alpha, but no-one has been able to find the texture to change it!

@ Bone... there were lots of repaints available of the FS9 version, i'm sure the FSX aircraft would prove just as popular.

Ian...must dig out my old DSB Harrier and have a look see :)
 
As far as FSD issuing an FSX version of their T-38...

...I'm not holding my breath-- witness the never ending saga of the Lockheed Jetstar and MU-2 (both of which I will scoop up when they become available). In FSDs defense, I'm not convinced simply porting over their existing T-38 to run in FSX would sell very well, which probably means they would have to develop it anew-- as a result, I would expect a new FSD T-38 just in time for FS18!

I went out in the last few nights to a website and saw a pretty impressive looking T-38C, but it looks like it's been in development forever, with no hint of a release year. To anyone who builds a Talon: We need a paintkit, and we need a version with and without the travel pod!

The other airplane I REALLY want to see updated and/or redone is the T-33A.

Cheers,

If those AF guys who make the T-37 will get their head out of their helmuts, maybe we can get a Tweet for FSX.:jump:

Well, I am unaware of any plans to do anything with the T-38, and the Jetstar is slated to be completed as a full FSX-SP2 model as soon as the Commander (which is in beta testing now) gets out of the hanger. All future releases from FSD will be FSX only. I'd love to get involved with the MU-2, but I'm working on the conversions right now along with the Thorp.

Oh, and I realize that the FSD release history has been frustrating to some...this is not a full-time job for most of the group, and cracks like the "FS18" one are getting old. Have you ever made a plane from scratch? :kilroy:

Maybe you can fix the model with MDLMat.

Yup i started 6 years ago and still have a blank screen :redf:
yes it is never understood how long it takes and what actual
time you have available

If FSD updates their T-38 I will be the first person in line to buy it. Especially, if it is a "C" model.
 
Maybe I was mis-informed, but I was under the impression that FSD were going to release their entire catalogue as full FSX spec??:isadizzy: Sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick:redf:
 
Nope N2056....

...you are absolutely correct: I have never built a plane-- and it's a good thing too, because that factor (multiplied by the thousands of us who don't have the time to dedicate to development) is precisely what keeps companies like FSD in business... :wavey:
