[NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION]

Some more requests...these are all aircraft that will not enter service for at least a few years, so some of the information is pretty sketchy. However, I hope there is enough here that "guesstimate" versions (as we have for things like the X-47 and the J-31) can be added to the database. Thanks for considering these!

I would like to see USS Guadacanal LPH-7 in the database

I would like to see USS Guadacanal LPH-7 in the database

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Guadalcanal_(LPH-7)

Did she have different characteristics from the other ships of the Iwo Jima class? (which is in the database)

Yeah you would use the Iwo Jima class (there are several variants based on year) and then rename it to USS Guadalcanal.

At this point the only time ships get independent entries is if there are major delta's from the rest of their class.

Thanks!

Updated our db list.

Some more information for the Cessna 208 Caravan...

http://www.cessna.com/
http://www.cessna.com/en/caravan/cessna-caravan
http://www.cessna.com/~/media/Files/car ... ravan.ashx
http://www.cessna.com/~/media/Files/car ... ulySD.ashx
http://www.cessna.com/~/media/Files/car ... 5_pim.ashx

Lots of details. In fact, similar information and technical details are available here for all of Cessna's current models (including citation business jets)...

Here is another "please add when possible" request...This one is still in service, believe it or not...

Antonov An-2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2
http://www.an2flyers.org/
http://www.sibwings.com/an2/manual.pdf <-- written for a flight simulator, but LOTS of technical details which I assume are accurate

(Actually, it is already in the CWDB, so I imagine that has all the technical details needed to add it to the DB3000.)

Just a general observation...the owner's/operator's manuals for a LOT of aircraft are online as .pdf files. These contain a lot of technical data, probably enough to cover what is needed for the DB3000 or the CWDB. Here are a few examples, which I found using Google and key words like "owner's manual," "pdf," and the name of the company in question...

I hope this is helpful.

Sorry Mark. We're still somewhere in the middle of your list of items. We have other customers that have asked for stuff as well and you have gotten a number of units will every update. Will get there as soon as we can while being fair to everybody.

Thanks for the links. They will certainly help.

Not a problem. I always assume it may be a while before a particular platform can be reviewed, researched, and added; I just post them as I think of them so I don't forget about them (and if I find any resources for them, I figure it cannot hurt to let folks know about them). Thanks for considering all of these requests.

Descubierta class corvette "501 Lieutenant-Colonel Errahmani" for Morocco
Offshore Patrol Vessel classes OPV-64 and OPV-70 for Morocco
gunboat class Osprey 55 for Greece, Morocco, Senegal

Land units
#294 SAM Bty Patriot PAC-2/PAC-3
-is selectable for US and Japan only but in RL also Netherlands and Germany have the PAC-3(currently on duty in Turkey as part of NATO Op. Active Fence)
-At least german PAC-3 TEL do only have capacities of 8 PAC-3 per launcher. But in the DB there is no PAC-3 mount available with a capacity of 8.
-The mentioned #294 US Army PAC-3 reads "...2007, 6x Lnchr" but has 8 mounts in total. So it maybe should be corrected to 8 launchers (6x4 PAC-2 = 6 TELs + 2x16 Pac-3 = 2 TELs)

the radar signatures for aircraft no longer appear in the database viewer on build 517

The MQ-8C heading on the database viewer says it is cancelled. I was under the impression that these were being ordered by the US navy?

The small diameter bomb GBU-39 will be added to the JAS 39 Gripen in the timefram 2015-2017 according to information in this document from the Swedish armed forces. Can you add that to the database please.

page 15 and yes it's in swedish.

As another New Zealand request, could you please add the RNZAF's recently-upgraded P-3K2 Orions into the database?

Details on what the upgrade involved are at: http://www.australiandefence.com.au/C84 ... 50568C22C9 (in short, the addition of an imaging turret, replacing the old radar with the Elta EL/M-2022A (V)3 and various avionics and systems upgrades).

According to http://www.defence.govt.nz/acquisitions ... grade.html the first of the five upgraded aircraft was delivered in 2011 and the final was delivered in February this year.

Hi Nick.

Just finished the P-3k2 update a few nights ago. You should see it next release.
