What if it's a jet?!?!?!? :shock: Would be great to simulate the black exhaust pouring out of a 707. But that's a long shot I guess.

But if they talk about the current tech being able to upgrade the 377.. maybe not.. but this is speculation time! (just trying to build up my resume for CNN :wink: )

Curious to see what it is. Seeing as I took the plunge a way long time ago on the 377 and haven't looked back. So whatever this is will most likely be a must have. I know I would like, and would speculate. I am most likely wrong though so not even going to bother. :lol: Hopefully it is on the smaller side and has a pretty decent range at a minimum, and radials. Is about the only expectations I am going to set in my mind. Now the wait begins to the weekend!

As far as the DC-6 goes they have already said they are bringing it to FSX/P3D as this is an exercise for them to see the viability of porting the software from one to the other. They already mentioned a second project under development that they will be converting from FSX to X-Plane to see how that goes. Robert in his posts over there has talked about their love for A2A's products, and that they talk so I doubt they would do something in parallel like that.. I could be wrong, but it has been spoken before about it wasting resources when 2 developers make the same product. Dries up the monetary payback on development for both and dilutes the market. That is my 2 cents on that though.

How many airport sceneries do we have that have been made by two or more developers? More than one plane has been that route, as well.

Oh my gosh! This is exciting. I'll pick up the 377 this weekend for sure.

I hate to speculate...but I'm really happy the 377 is being cracked open again for a bit of an upgrade! (Constellation... :D )

While we're all speculating - has anyone started measuring the "reserved" box in that A2A fleet screenshot to figure out what would fit in there?

(There - that ought to keep everybody busy for a while!)

Vickers Vanguard or DC-7?

In the lower right hand corner of the reserved box is some kind of a symbol or image. A clue...

Have at it, guys.

Looks like some sort of winged figure standing on a mountain, possibly holding something.

Or are we getting into Rorschach territory?

Not yet finding any matches.

What about the C-54/DC-4? I assume A2A would want access to the real thing and the Berlin Airlift Foundation that helped with the 377 has a C-54.

If it is a DC-4 I wonder if our crew will sound like John Wayne and Robert Stack? :lol:
