I find it very encouraging that the engine supports "exotic" aircraft like the autogyro. Personally, i'm expecting to see gliders at some point in the future.

I went back and re-read some of the previous interviews given by Oleg Maddox on simHQ. He mentioned that the weather model also takes into account the ground formations and to me that hints at ridge lift and wave lift, along with the more common thermal lift.

Of course, gliders of the time were far behind what is possible today, but it would be fun to see a few 3rd party WWII ones. I think it's been mentioned before that you will be able to fly a training mini-campaign in the Tiger Moth. Imagine now if for Luftwaffe campaigns you could train in gliders, just like it happened in real life, but that's something for the future.

As for the current semi-official list, i think it's a very comprehensive selection. If some of the AI aircraft are gradually made flyable it will be even better and the good thing is that most of them can also be used for a possibly upcoming meditteranean expansion.
