You've not mentioned the Beaver, Hunter, Seahawk, Spitfire, Seafire, Hurricane, P51 and who knows how many others. Complaining that aircraft are mostly incomplete is not in the least bit helpful - if you think one of the FG planes is missing something (which, granted plenty of them are) then you are free to do something about it, like creating instruments or whatever for them. That's the _whole point_ of open source software - if you want to improve something, all you need to do so is there waiting for you.
Yes, it requires a bit of effort - a lot, even. But if other people hadn't spent countless hours of their time putting in that effort, you wouldn't have anything to fly at all. Have a good look at the way these planes are put together - read the documentation which comes with FG, get yourself a copy of the Gimp, AC3D or Blender and enjoy the satisfaction of providing whatever you think is lacking in these planes... > And pity the Citation - which is possessed. OK, there's a problem when flying overspeed with the Citation. Nothing is stopping you from putting together an alternative FDM using say JSBSim... I do mean all this in the most constructive of ways - your attitude is very common amongst people who are just starting to dabble with open source stuff, and I honestly hope that you get stuck in and help out.
