Hi Curt, I haven't read through the thread yet. At first look your choices sound fine. Maybe we should include just the bo105 as a good start on helicopter support and there is a modle for it. You asked about the A4 specifically. It is pretty much functional as is. It'd be nice to put a full 3D cockpit in there, but it is my intent to finish the 747 first, do some cleaning up and put 3D instruments in the c310, add a couple more things to the p51, and do the ornithopter cockpit as promised a while back. In other words, the A4 is pretty low on my list right now. Here are some suggestions before release: We should get the autopilot functioning at least to the extent it used to be. There are a few known lingering bugs like the tile manager issue that would be nice to clean up. Also I'm close to completing some major changes to the 747 model that would be nice to get included, but that's not a real big deal. For the other items, especially the autopilots it'd be nice to have a couple weeks before release. If not, then a cutoff date would be nice so we can prioritize.
