Rare Aircraft- Flightsim wishlist

Hey All,

How about the extremely rare almost never seen Cessna 170/180/185 series of taildraggers? So rare in fact that nobody has ever seen one on amphibs in FS.

Although the Abacus Cessna 185 is good and it is on straight floats the wheeled version undercarriage isn't modelled acurately.

The Convair Kingfish would be interesting to fly in a simulated flyoff with the A-12 (early version of the SR-71). Of coarse it never flew, however RCS models were made.

Not Rare Aircraft, but My Wishlist: Vickers Viscount with VC

Caravelle with VC

Short Skyvan with VC

The first two are just an Idea for Jens.B.Kristensen:wavey:

It would be great, if he can made this Airplanes

Peperez has two CFS2 conversions of the DC-5 here at SOH:
CFS2_Dc5_KLM.zip
Dc5_Japan.zip
The Japanese paint job is a captured KLM aircraft evaluated by the Tachikawa Army Air Arsenal. I'm thinkin' the textures should work on the updated version Pointy posted.
 
I very surprised no one has ever tried doing a Bede BD-4 for Flight Simulator--ever. I would think it would be pretty simple; the only curved surfaces being the top edge of the wings and the wheels. I prefer the taildragger but the tri-geared version has its own panache to it as well.
 
I was also thinking what with this interest towards flying boats and all wouldn't it be cool to do Baloo's Seaduck from Talespin? For those who didn't see the cartoon think Fairchild C-82 that can float. Found the tech specs from an RC group but the proportions seem right

Aeronca "K"

All levels of detail and animations capable in FS2004:ernae:

I will personally pay you $100.00 US currency when finished
 
I flew a Aeronca Sedan on floats one time, best landing I ever made. It's fun to race the speedboats on takeoff, just life one float and say goodbye.
 
The Pilatus P-3, the piston powered cousin of the Turboprop PC-7. My Dad and I owned and flew one for many years. I have countless reference materials.

Been wanting one for a long time! Mike

Cheers! Mike :help::wiggle:
