Just a topic to promote a little discussion and to post some ideas as usual.

I know aircraft are down the line however, I would like just to discuss a few ideas just to pass the time and perhaps get a few brain cells going in this forum.

BTW I KNOW many of these do not fit in the sim. I recommend it to implement and test a feature and not to waste time. Especially as we have the model we ought to put it to some use.

Most of these are from member Kev33 from the Orbiter community. He is known as the master of aircraft in that community and has done a massive amount of work to implement these in a SpaceSim.

F-19

I have already mentioned in another topic why this needs to be implemented. It is a test symbol because F-19 changes from book to book from game to game.

Test Visual Sensors
Test IR sensors
Test Radar reflect
Test anything else as it is the test symbol.

F-18A on Carrier

Yes there are higher quality Carriers out there but this has everything needed for a variety of tests.

B-50D with X-1A or B

Ok Calm down! This is obviously not something that really needs to be in the main game. But it is perfect to Initially test a number of important features.

The main that I can think of is attachments. This is EXTREMELY important for a number of reasons.

Also the B-50 is a good platform to test AI bomb dropping and the animation of the props.
