If it was Accu-sim, I'd buy it!

Any big, complex multi-engine radial is a winner for me. :D

I'd say the 172, since I have very fond memories of it, and really have the desire for a study level 172 in MSFS.

One that I would really love to see developed for accu-sim would be a King Air or a Fokker 50. My favourite aeroplanes of all time.

Bristol Britanna for the win.

A LOOONG range turboprop airliner. Nothing else like it.

Without joking there is something inherently special to me in those early jet era turboprop airliners. Bristol Britannia is indeed one example, the another one from the western world is Lockheed Electra - still going strong as P-3 Orion, obviously.

I've done some research on the Britannia. Looking to see how 'easy' it would be to model it for MSFS in Blender. Turns out its super hard to get any blueprints for it. But if an official dev (A2A) with a homegrown out-of-the-sim realistic flight model where to....Oh I don't know, model it and plug it into Accusim 2.0 - We would have pretty much the ONLY representation of the Bristol Britannia worth flying in ANY flight sim today. There was an attempt in XP10 and FS2004. But nobody inside the last ten years seems to have given it a serious go. Which I think is a crying shame.

The Bristol Britannia would bring the A2A vintage Airliner fleet to 3. It would round off the lineup of large longrange propliners with what seems to be an amazing accomplishment of technology. The range on the 312 was astounding.

I understand though that you guys have a huge lineup of aircraft you would want to redo for MSFS or do for the first time before you began meddling with something like the Britannia. But with your Accusim 2.0 and the concept that you can plug in an airframe with its powerplant along with weights and balances, and get accurate flight dynamics and physics out of the box is an incredibly exciting idea.......for so many old airframes that we can't access today.

I would very happily see the Strat followed by the Connie arrive in MSFS before this though.

And would be a very good competitor to PMDG's DC6...

Definitely, any of the existing two propliners from A2A would immediately surpass the PMDG DC-6 in MSFS.

The C182 Skylane would be a great second aircraft for MSFS.

+1. To me, the early jet age was the most exciting time in history for aircraft. I'd take darn near anything made around 1945 to 1960.

I have zero interest in airliners or one-off airplanes. A simple Civilian Mustang would do me fine and I'd never need another airplane in MSFS. Except maybe a Lancaster or Mosquito... :mrgreen:
