Just a couple of thoughts! No British subjects that people might buy; what about a Venom or Vampire NF, a single seat Venom or Vampire? Or some nice new Meteors, plenty of scope there and, for example, a Mk 3 could easily be adapted for a Mk 4, Mk 8 for 9 etc? They could have done well with a Seahawk, when it was being hinted at last year, but they might have missed that particular boat!
A bit of thought is all that is needed. Your example of the F-84 was spot on; no competition, freeware or otherwise, and an important aircraft = a good seller. Could they have sold more Canberras with a little more thought and a few more variants (I know, for example, that Phil got at least one extra sale when they included some extra Javelin variants!!), I believe the Lightning was moderately successful!! The recent Sabre offered nothing over Kirk's version; less, in fact, as Kirk had different wing options; Jan's lifts the bar even further, and will lead to other models including an F-86H!! But what if Alphasim had gone for the Dog Sabre variants, no real competition, plenty of scope, I'd have bought it even at the current price level!!
Like yourself I have no bone to pick, no axe to grind; I'd like to think I can be considered a neutral both on this forum and over at AS. Some of the comments over here do get overly nitpicky; but thats down to a combination of some very knowledgeable people who CAN back up their knowledge with real talent - oh, and the fact that AS can produce some real masterpieces, but quality is somewhat less than consistent!!
