Well I'm going to pick on and promote the ones I've submitted or collaborated on. 1). A-10 - Andy might disagree, but I think the A-10 should go and be replaced with something nicer. 2). C310/C310U3A - I do not recall why there is a Cessna 310 and Cessna 310u3a (except I added the U-3A 3d model several years ago). It seems that one could be removed to make room for others. The flight models are pretty good on the C310s, but it would be nice to see it one either finished up (as a civilian C-310) or another light twin completed for release 1.0. 3). J3 - The J3-Cub is complete (not much to cubs anyway) and easy to fly for someone just starting out. 4). P-51D - Jon never did do a flight model for it :-), but the original premise that got me started on it was Jon Berndt's interest in the tail dragger modeling and the idea of having a model that matches the FlightGear logo. I still think it is a pretty good model (if I may say so myself ;-)). 5). 1903 Wright Flyer - Finally I think the Wright Flyer should stay just for historical and educational interest, not to mention that it is a fairly complete and good simulation. It isn't good for a cross country but neither was the original. 6). UFO - The only one that isn't mine that I'd pick on is the UFO. I'd rather see that one ditched before anything listed above. It certainly is the least sophisticated simulation ;-) (Ah, but you say, who knows how a real flying saucer works?!) Anyone needing it for model or scenery development could download it easily enough.
