I thought they were from the early 00s.

The Cold War ended almost 40 years ago. It's time DCS is updated with everything from the 21st century, at the very least SAMs, fighters and strike aircraft, AWACS, ect. The Vipers and Hornets are left with no 21st century environments where they belong.

We need a menu in the way point editor for setting separate targets in a flight for the individual wing men. When flying a flight of 4 F-4s on a ground attack mission, there's over 30 separate targets the wing can hit. This can't be done with the current editor.

yea, but we really need ai export versions of fighters such as the mig-23mf for Syria and Iraq. Giving them the MLD makes them too powerful.

Also needed are Armenian air bases and terrain. 1178×970 Russian military bases in Armenia : r/azerbaijan reddit.com

We definitely need the export versions of AI planes at least. The MF version of the Flogger would be the only valid one to use for Syria and Iraq.

This would be great for an Iran-Iraq war based missions, or a US involvement in the early 90s. But for more modern stuff, ED needs to model units after the 00s.

An easy stop gap solution would be for ED to place the IADS and GCI scripts into the triggers for us by default so we can make missions with them without having to spend time learning how to code. Even better would be pre-made missions and campaigns just like in video games.

They didn't even do Falklands right (does anyone even still play it?). No Super Etendard, no British Harrier from the 1980s, no Mirage III, no British and Argentine ships from the era, and most importantly, no Exocet missile. But we could at least still do a hypothetical 2nd Cuban missile crisis.

Yes, it would be better than the Syria map, but we also need more SAM and ground units from the era (i also don't see that version of the Mig-21 or any of the jets from the era on my end, but I also ran out of room for updates almost a year ago. The Cuba map would also be greatly lacking without the naval assets.

Then how did IAF Falcons defeat BVR capable Floggers? It's obsolete against 4th Gen fighters except in BVR. Plus, by the 80s, the F-15, Kfir and others took it's place in a2a role.

For the Syria map, Israel is lacking an important resource it had during the 1982 Battle of Bekka Valley. The only BVR capable fighter available to Israel on DCS is the F-15 on Cold War historical mode.

I never make missions that start at night due to them being just terrible. Staring at blackness and not being able to see a hill coming up in front of me makes flying at low level not possible in many places. Watching replays of the mission also are almost useless since I can't see much of what's going on. Being able to select night vision for external views at least would make watching them enjoyable.

These are the Redfor answer to cruise missiles from the NATO side. They were used by Syria during the 80s too, and would add a new way of opening up a mission by attacking runways faster and more instantaneously than an aircraft taking off with Kazoo missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTR-21_Tochka

I would like to see a map of Cuba, Florida and the Gulf Coast modeled. It would be great for a second Cuban Missile Crisis campaign occurring in the late Cold War with the Admiral Kuznetsov, Su-33/27 and Cuban Mig-29s to meet another Bay of Pigs invasion. I think this would be a cooler and more interesting map than Syria as it offers a chance to fly missions involving the USA's borders.
