"2. Latecoere 521" I found a Latecoere 523 online once; it is at the lower left next to the Dornier Do-X in the picture below. -James

The Kawanishi E15K1 was an advanced design that would make a fascinating FS model.

I agree with Mr. Hurricane 91. Any of the WW2 Japanese float-mounted fighters would be great subjects. The flying boats of the 30s, 40s and 50s are well represented (mostly by Jens ).

I've seen a Wal. I'm not sure where because it was quite a while ago. I'm pretty sure I have it mothballed on my external hard drive though. I'll see if I can find it.

The Wal was for FS2002 I think, I did try (a long time ago) to run it in FSX and the model wasn't actually all that bad, so maybe it can be resurrected? It came as a package of several variants I think (8t Wal, 10t Wal etc.)
Some historically significant flights to be made if it ever gets updated.
There was 'almost' a Supermarine Sea Eagle at one time (the real ones flew a service from Southampton to Jersey in the Channel Islands).
This want list could go on for a long time................

PS Tom, I'm pretty sure there was a floater Jenny among a set of 'FSX upgrades' for the original FS9 Jenny, might have been NorCal or someone like that?

Hi Leyland, The model was by Dirk Stuck, for FsX only and as a model it looked fine but the textures weren't mapped, just single texture blocks that defined the whole aircraft. If it could be remapped (I guess you'd need the source files) then it could be a fine model!
