Odd that there is no WWI in the list... I guess the dawn of flight is too slow for some people.

Of the eras listed, my main interest is not rare at all, but it IS rare in FSX. Handley Page Halifax.
 
I like military trainers; especially turbo prop trainers. I would really like to have a high performance turbo prop military trainer. I have one, that I recently purchased. But I guess I am spoiled with some of the new FSX add-ons and the graphics and systems just don't hold up.

Pilatus PC-21 would be perfect!
 
I would like to see more interwar - ie 1918 to 1939 aircraft. It's one area that has been neglected in FSX.
 
AlphaSim made a Douglas A-20 (Mk.III Boston). I grabbed it when it was freeware, quite a long time ago, and I don't know if it's still available. One of my favorite twin bombers is the Martin B-26 Marauder by Dave Eckert. I'm a big fan of WWII and Cold War aircraft.

Piglet's PC-7 is great. I fly it often. I recently purchased the texan II. The VC is ok, but wouldn't a pc-21 with a realair or lotusim vc be great.

I dont have the a10 so I cant compare that.
 
A REALLY well done...

...Boeing B-50 and a B-36. The Alphasim B-36 flies like a Cessna, and looks puny on the runway. Not banging Alphasim-- the B-36 was great when it came out years ago...it would just be nice to have a big model with a great panel, turrets and bombays that work, several variants (RB-36, etc.), and engine sounds that make the plaster fall from the ceiling...

Heavy iron!

And a B-29.
Is that a rare warcraft ?
 
I like this Avia 51, an early 30's hi-performance passenger craft built in Prague, Czechoslovakia by the Avia Company and designed by Mr. Nebezar, a former Detroit Aircraft Corporation engineer. I have this on my list as a future possibility.

A very interesting (and historic) aircraft. Like Nebezar's Avia 156, the Vega influence is apparent.

Fly h1gh..Punch Holes 1n the Sky
 
One of my wants for FSX has been an XF-85 Goblin....Mr. Ito made one for FS04 and it's still one of my favorite little hotrods to
fly...Would love to have one for FSX with the retractable hook so you can fly with/without the hook extended. It's not a conventional
a/c, but it's a lot of fun to fly. I think in real life it only made a couple (maybe even just one) flight, but in FS04 I've flown it's little
wings off!
