Pleased to see some high fidelity GA with the likes of JustFlight's TB-10, TB-20, PA-28, C152 etc (and now the Duchess 76). Once you've had proper simulation of carb icing, spark plug fouling, oil pressure, electrical systems, windows misting up and ventilation, fixed speed prop, priming, third party GPS support it's very hard to go back to default quality GA.

I wondered what is likely to be next in the JF GA series? And I wanted to suggest the Robin DR.400-180

The DR.400 is a single piston prop known for excellent visibility with a large sliding canopy, docile handling thanks to wing dihedral but still remaining responsive with stick controls and being quiet and comfortable thanks to its wooden frame. They are very popular GA birds in Europe (along with the smaller HR200) so I would hope they'd sell quite well for JF and should be easy to get access to for reference.

There's a couple out for FSX but they are now rather long in the tooth, one of them seems okay system wise but looks terrible, and the other looks better but seems rather basic reusing default sounds.

We're certainly considering the DR400. The next GA aircraft is likely to be the might PA38 Tomahawk Thumbs Up
