@Putannna said in MSFS 2020 & 2024 Needs a Super VC 10:
maybe together we can get their attention!
You've already got our attention - see my replies above.
However, just for the record, here are the main discussion points on Project VC10 for MSFS2024:
Pros
There is a real one at Cosford that can be accessed by developers
Just Flight has prior knowledge and data on many of the more complex systems in this arcraft which could serve to shorten the development time.
Just Flight has previously done Jetliner and Pro versions of this aircraft series for FSX, P3D and X-Plane.
Cons
Producing a sound set to take advantage of current game technology might be a problem
Very limited appeal outside the UK.
To maintain our quality reputation - as per the 146, Vulcan, RJ, F28 etc - it would need to be built from scratch. Even with our experience on previous versions, this is a 2-3 year project with a very significant development bill.
Commercially, based on our experience with VC10 Jetliner and VC10 Professional for FSX, P3D and X-Plane, the meagre sales returns would never be enough to warrant the cost and time involved.
Here at Just Flight we have a huge amount of enthusiasm for older aircraft and we would jump at the chance of doing another VC10. However, we also need to accept that we are not working for a lifestyle/hobby business or a freeware co-op and we do have to consider the ROI of every project we undertake. We're currently working on our Tornado and we also have plans for another British classic (subject to a successful ROI discussion) but, as far as the VC10 goes, we are unlikely to ever revisit that one.
One thing to add - if any other developer fancied doing a VC10 for MSFS2024 we would always be open to licensing our source code at reasonable cost. Please form an orderly queue....
