If all the aircraft look as nice as that Beaver, then I have high hopes. Compared to previous offerings from Microsoft, it looks very nice compared to some of the better payware types available now.

I haven't seen anything to excite me yet. As Felix points out, if M$ gives the developers the flight models to work with they can do the rest.

...an excellent idea... Grin

...!

I've always wished that I could paint my own registration letters/numbers on the default aircraft so that in multiplayer flights, using the default aircraft, each aircraft had its own registration details on the fuselage, wings, etc... 8)...!

Now wouldn't that be nice... Wink

I think many of us need to recognize that Microsoft Flight Simulator is different from Combat Flight Simulator, and therefore the idea of having a B-36 or a F-4 as defaults in FSX is highly unlikely, addons of those would be great, but I think Microsoft wants to make money on both FSX and CFS and will therefore keep the military aircraft relatively separate from the civil aircraft.

Why do I keep forgetting to include everyone's favourite Trainer aircraft...
The Aircraft that helped everyone gain their Pilot's Licence...

The Indefatigable Cessna 152... 8)...!

For some strange reason, it was never included as a default aircraft in FS 2004... Cry

...!

Cheers all...!

The only reason I would LIKE a B-36 as a default aircraft in the sim is because it would mean that:

a. The number of different engines allowable has been changed (max now is 4)

b. Mixed engine types are allowed (piston/jet; jet/rocket, turboprop/piston (admittedly very few were built, and mostly as test beds...)

I'd like to see these aircraft:

1) Some Airbus aircraft (Microsoft, stop denying that Airbus is the biggest aircraft manufacturer, all due respect to boeing)

2) Different Boeing types. The 737-400 is by now ageing a bit... Id prefer to see a 767...

3) Some different vintage aircraft. Im thinking B-25, X-1, and Spitfire here...

Oh well whatever, I dont fly any default aircraft anyways... Grin

Exactly the reason I suggested it too (before I realised Felix already had. I can't see why they can't just (within reason) all unlimited number and powerplants. Rockets too (thinking of the possibilities of X-1, Me163, Saro Sr.53 and other X generation aircraft - I was going to say Miles M.52, but that of course was a jet! Wink

Agreed, but as I've mentioned before in the dim and distant past of SimV, with Microsoft's Seattle connections I would have doubted it, but you never know...

Mmm, but could MS match MAAM's B-25 and RAS's Spit... As for the X-1, good call...

Nope!
