I doubt it would have much on the F-16 in open falcon but the pit and the 3d model look quite nice. They did mention a weapon addon pack in the future which sounds good. I doubt you could model the datalink and other features realistically in FSX. As for F22 and F35 more likely to see those on FS than realistically modeled in a combat sim due to the secrecy over the aircraft and its JHCMS etc.
Speaking of F-16 sim development

That's what I though when I heard that the acceleration jet was the F/A-18 A only; Now that I've seen, flown, and pushed all its buttons... I'm singing another tune - Yes!!!!!! ??? ;D

I am definately interested in an F-14 now questions will it be 2 seater and will they model the INS and rampstart reallistically?
TheRipper:
THEYVE ALREADY MADE AN F-14 PPLZ! Iris made it, the mejor thing wrong with it is that it goes like 1000KIAS too fast. if it were realistic, you would never get to fly it because it would be grounded 99% of the time

....yeah and maybe they will realistically model the Tomcat's stellar reliability and maintainability record as well. If Microsoft were creating a modern Combat Flight Simulator, I would be all for it as it is a great air-to-air interceptor, but in the Flight Simulator X community, this is really no place for that. Microsoft picked the hornet because it gives the costumer the best of basic, non-combat, military aviation. Something powerful (well compared to the other aircraft that are available in Microsoft's lineup), it's very maneuverable (compared to the F-14), it's still being used in today's U.S. Military (well the C,D,E,F and G variants are) and it gives the consumer the opportunity to have fun doing one of the most demanding feats in aviation, landing on a aircraft carrier. You guys have to remember that FSX is mainly for flying and training in the friendly skies, not combat. As much as some of you would like to, we cannot shoot Phoenix missiles, drop laser-guided bombs and fire Vulcan cannons from our jets. With that being said, I feel that Microsoft, along with Captain Sim and FS Dreamteam did an awesome job and made the right decision with the Hornet. Let the Tomcat R.I.P!

I don't see why, for the same reasons, we couldn't do an F-14, since the F/A-18 it's already done. For the very reason FSX is all about flight training (which is 99% of a flying pilot career anyway), I think many would like to use a different airplane, especially one so famous. Fact that is no longer in service in the US shouldn't really matter, when we did the F4 for Cloud9, nobody complained about that.
The F-22 would have been a great choice as well. But since I don't think we'll ever be able to obtain any meaningful documentation that is needed to model it realistically, I'm not very optimistic about that one.
