A$1,000 for a flyable defiant

[Ataros]

I am surprised that paid addons for MSFS or DCS P-51 or A-10 do not have same cockpit quality. They have to make one aircraft only and still can not afford or do not care to go into that much detail.

You mean $10,000...

I would stick another £50 in if someone could solve my CTD problem.

Buy the sequel/expansion .

I would be more than willing to donate regularly (or pay for a pre-order if taken on by the official developer) for development of a flyable Lancaster, or possibly a B17. Or any other 4 engined heavy bomber for that matter.

I think a Lancaster would be perfect for this simulation as historically, big formations were not the principle, staggered solitary night time missions were the norm - surely this would benefit from the next gen engine etc. by not requiring large numbers of aircraft to be modeled at once. Of course, the map would need expanding somewhat...

B17s would be good when we have next decades computing power to enable those large tight formation daylight raids.

I will keep dreaming

Crowdfunding!

It already works in the music business, well - somewhat.

I can see this crowdfunding work here as well, we'll have to set clear standards to which the plane has to live up to and then the modeller can accept the terms/pay.
The modeller then presents his work to an independent 'referee' who decides if the aircraft lives up to the agreed standards/quality, and then makes the amount of money available for the modeller.
Everyone happy right?

How was it organised with Pe-8 model? Are players happy with the result?

man, you must be really desperate to fly a Defiant..

The A2A paid add on for MS FSX has brilliant cockpits. Heck, the morse code unit in the Spitifre is clickable. Plus, they have the different cockpit revisions for the Mk I and II. Hell, you need to manage your oxygen if you don't want to pass out at various altitiudes.

It's the best cockpit I've ever seen in a game. I would say it's as much a step above the CloD ones as the CloD ones are a step above the 1946 ones.
