I'd say bring them on !
No doubt we're getting a B-17 sooner or later, either by FlyingIron or another MSFS developer, just too much of an aviation icon to be overlooked, isn't it. A Focke-Wulf Condor however would certainly be a very unexpected and interesting aircraft to see the MSFS daylight.
Just out of interest i googled 'Condor' and next to a truckload of wonderful photos of this majestic, biggest vulture species in the world i was confronted with knives, machetes, an asian actress, socks, atleast 3 movies, carpets, a travel agengy, agricultural machines, push buttons, an airline, linnen, various RC cars, an electric step, a bowtie, a lounce set, a garden set, a drone, a mopet, a motorbike, doorlocks, hydraulic lift, darts, biker helmets, sunglasses, a backpack, a TV series, a private estate, plants, a temple, a publishing house, a boutique, a rifle case, a heater, a fine wine, a chalet, a roof top tent, a GI Joe toy an a roller-coaster.... Nothing, nada about Focke-Wulf's 4 engined vulture...Not one word..
(Ok, yes, atm i have nothing better to do..)
Remarkable how something so relatively big and with such impact (literally) on the allied convoys in the Atlantic during WWII can still slip away into history with only a few aviation hobbyists knowing about it. Particularly if you take into account that the FW 200 Condor was responsible for sinking more than 900K ton of allied ships by the end of September 1940 and in April 1941 alone they sank a further 116 allied ships. Churchill called the Condors 'the scourge of the Atlantic'.
Anyway, nah, no matter how bonkers you'd think Aussies might probabely be i think we can safely assume a Condor nore a Mavis will not emerge from the FlyingIron hangars this time around. Good suggestions though, Paul. Hehe..
If i'm not mistaken they do fly a Lancaster in Australia too, right ? But the AH Lanc does look like it could get take-off clearance any day now so if i was FlyingIron i'd go for that B-17. Just make it a tad even better than the A2A Fortress and it will sell like hot cakes. ( i *would* certainly count on crew interaction/assistance and music from the 40's during those long flights, please ;-)
They can book me for two, even three if needed.
