In all fairness, I believe it's time to give these planes the FSX treatment. Regarding the AWACS and C-130J, these need to be made without the UKMIL or whatever program they were hosted by. These would make a great collection to the Simviation library. Let's have the Raytheon T-6A Texan II without tanks and in Randolph AFB markings.

Well, two of these (the V-22 and the C-130) have already been crafted for FSX.

Now, if you were meaning freeware, well, it seems we'll have to wait a bit longer . . .

Check out Iris Simulations for a good Texan II. It is payware as well however.

Hit it right on the button. I mean, no offense to the payware planes and makers, they are cool, but we need freeware versions as well.

And you are correct, Falcon.  However, the reason something like the V-22 hasn't been done by a freeware maker is that making it fly correctly in FS has always been an issue.  FS simply doesn't have the ability to truly simulate vectored thrust or rotating engine nacelles.  So the designers have to find a work-around, which takes a large amount of time, effort and tweaking.  After that, I'm not surprised that they want some money for their efforts.

But rest assured that there will eventually be one of all the aircraft you're asking for.
