While you are adapting the 377 for compatibility for P3D 2.1, (many thanks!), fixing a couple minor bugs:
1. Hydraulic brake accumulator pressure not being saved when saving flight,
2. Undocked Flight Engineer Station window size not properly saved when saving flight,
3. Undocked Map window position not being properly saved when saving flight,
4. Turning ADI off during cruise (1950 bhp/engine) seems to unduly shorten engine life.
Please note I would be more than happy to pay a reasonable fee for fully compatible P3D 2.1 B-377, B-17 and P-47.
As a suggestion for your business model, I would surmise there are more than a few of us out here willing to pay maintenance fees so these nice aircraft continue benefitting from your development, not only maintaining compatibility and fixing the odd bug here and there, but also adding new funcionality and enhancing the exterior and interior of these fine aircraft to benefit from P3D's and CPU and GPU constantly increasing power. These periodic enhancements would also add predictability to A2A's revenue stream from us loyal vintage aircraft customers and thus further enhance the value of your business.
Areas that could be further developped on the 377:
1. Exterior Model: Engines
2. Exterior Model: Increase polygon count on certain areas
3. Interior Model: Passenger cabin
4. Interior Model: Lower-Level cabin
5. Interior Model: Populate lower-level cabin with vintage Hollywood movie stars (via configurable selector)
6. Interior Model: Get a poker game going in the lower-level cabin among fellow simmers via simconnect using the movie stars avatars. Include flight deck personnel.
7. Cockpit Model: Add wear and tear
8. Cockpit Model: Add ingnition analyzer oscilloscope tube
9. Electrical System: Generally flesh-out and add breaker functionality
10. Navigator Station: Vintage radio's functionality with moving knobs and switches
11. Navigator Station: Add Dave Bitzer's Bubble Sixtant (with permission) to cockpit model
12. Navigator Station: Add Dave Bitzer's B-3 Drift Meter (with permission) to cokpit model
13. Exterior Model: C-97 cargo version (Angel of Deliverance)
14. Exterior Model: KC-97 tanker version

Perhaps others can contribute additional suggestions for minor fixes and further development?
Many thanks!
Kind regards,
