Can you help me make a list?
There are quite a few aircraft that didn't make it into the Hangar. I'm gonna try and get that done but my mental state is pretty scattered yet and it'll be slow, tedious work. Can you guys help me make a list?
I know we need the Mig-21 BIS, Sea Vixen, and Jaguar.

Oops. Sorry. I didn''t know Alex was on the trail already.

Feel free to help out mate! ???? I did the Canberra last night and it took 70 mins from start to finish. We've got 62 jets in the public folder and only a few of them on the site.
I'd really love people to just comment if they have flown ANY of these recently and what state they are in.
Give your priority list based on which are closest to being "OK" in our terms and also please lists of anything that's so old it needs condemning. It'd save hours of trawling through and testing.
I'm going through them and binning some off as I find them because they just aren't usable in 'modern' FG.
We have:
A-4K
A-7E
A4
Avro Arrow
AvroVulcanB2
BAC-TSR2 GR3 (Binned)
BAE Hawk
Blackburn Buccaneer (better version in dev)
C-17 (released)
Canberra BI8 (Released)
EE-Lightning (Released)
EF2000 (Presume that's the one released - need to check?)
F-4F
F4J
F-5E (Needs releasing)
F-15C
F-16C
F-18C
F-18D
F-22
F-23C
F-29
F-35B
F-100D
F-105
FGR2 (Better one in dev)
FJ-3
Gloster Javelin
Gnat T1 (Released)
Harrier GR1
Harrier GR3
Harrier GR5
Harrier GR9
Harrier
Hawker-Siddely-Nimrod (2 versions)
Hawker Hunter
Jaguar (Better version in Dev)
JAS-39 Gripen
L-159
Mako
MiG-21 BIS
DH Sea Vixen
SU-25
SU-27
SU-37
SU-47
T-38C
T-50
TF-104G
Tornado
Vampire
Victor
YAK-130v2
There's also the DaVinci models in there which I think you've already populated as you're far more organised.
The big question is which ones of the above are in a good enough state to put our time into, given what people expect from a sim aircraft these days.
To my mind:
Jaguar
Buccaneer
Sea Vixen
L-159
Mako
Some of the Harriers
Victor
Mig 21
Canberra.
What else?
Over to the good people of FGUK to help with this.
Moved the thread to general to get as much input as possible.
All the Aircraft in the daVinci Hangar are good enough for now. I just did the MiG-21bis and will try and do a few each day.

Do we want the SU-25, 27, 37, 47 and Yak -130 published again?
VooDoo
Personally, im not interested in Russian stuff being in the hanger.
It''s why I asked. Alex?
'Cause I'm not really wanting anything to do with Russian Aircraft either.
VooDoo
Shame really isn't it.
I'm on the same page with the Russian stuff.
Presumably we're still OK with anything from Aero (L-159 etc) and if we ever get any Antonov stuff? It's purely Russian domestic produced and not ex Soviet Bloc?
"I'd really love people to just comment if they have flown ANY of these recently and what state they are in."
Well, you did ask. I have recently flown the following from your list:
BAC-TSR2 GR3, C-17, EF2000, Gnat T1, Mako, SU-25, SU-27, SU-37, Vampire, YAK-130 - plus the A400M.
Admittedly, I modified them (some of them extremely) but they are all salvageable. Though not by me because 'modern' FG is not compatible with the 'modern' MacOS.
When you say you modified (particularly those extremely) do you have any tips on which ones needed what? and if you've got any of it that could be passed over.
I'd really like to start getting us to a point where we can work on those long term projects that will get the really special treatment - but for that to be possible without everything else getting even further behind we kind of need to buy some time by making sure that we have enough of an offering and that it's usable/enjoyable.
Can't lose the EF2000, Algy will be back one day to finish it.
It is a 'modern historical' icon and it should at least be in the hangar even if it is not perfect.
Also, it's my favourite ride.
Porcy.
The EF2000 does need to stay I agree. It needs some work though. The FCS, IIRC, doesn't work right at all in Linux/Mac and we were never able to nail down where the issue with it was (presumably a capitalisation somewhere)
I'm wanting some feedback on the Hangar specifically the Jet Section....I would like ya'll to just give it a look see and tell me anything is not looking/working right for ya'll. I don't want to do this over again.
VooDoo
I'd love to see the Nimrod, Harriers and maybe the Vampire.

It seems to be all working, I've seen no issues on mobile.

FWIW my validation script reports the following errors for the EF2000 on Linux, but no wrong-case files:
