F-2

I’d killed for a USEA map with a dynamic campaign lol.

You’re not going to answer a business case on the forums. I’m sure the majority of the people who buy modules never have even posted here. ED I imagine has their own method of getting that sort of data.

None of the A B C D or E versions of the Eagle use fly by wire, only the very latest versions derived from QA have fly by wire. An A would probably feel similar to the FC3 C but with some differences because of different engines and weight.

Why not just get a team together and make an F-15C. It’s not like documentation is hard to come by.

The US Air Force owns an operates over a dozen Mig-29 9-13. The only piece missing is the radar for the full S https://dod.defense.gov/OIR/gallery/igphoto/2001237536/ Apparently the Smithsonian has AM-501072-01: MiG MiG-29SE Fulcrum-C [Documents maybe something with the radar modes we need?

AMK opens up a lot of possibilities for different loads and weapons intergration. I’d expect more of this

https://www.key.aero/article/making-eurofighter-typhoon-today-fit-tomorrow https://www.eurofighter.com/the-programme It looks like AMK will be part of P4E unless something changes

Try the national archives instead. I’ve known people to get Tornado F3 documents from there for example. Both incarnations of the Sea Harrier would be great for DCS. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=Sea+harrier&_sd=1979&_ed=2023&_hb=

I’m working outside and I’m having a hard time typing. Anyway this isn’t just for today but a few years down the line.

Apparently the national air and space museum has some stuff AM-501050-01: MiG MiG-29 Fulcrum Family [Documents] AM-501072-01: MiG MiG-29SE Fulcrum-C [Documents] AM-501094-01: MiG MiG-31M Foxhound-B [Documents] AS-902088-01: Sukhoi Su-30 (Su-27PU) Documents] AS-902095-01: Sukhoi Su-34 [Documents] AS-902097-01: Sukhoi Su-35 (Su-27SM2) Documents] I’m sure most of this stuff is marketing material but the Su-27PU was operated by the USAF and might have actually documentation, same with the Mig-29SE. you can only send one request at a time to the archive room. Would anyone like to help? https://airandspace.si.edu/archives/accessing-collections/archives-research-request

You can go to jail now for saying mean things about the Russian army, passing on documents is a great excuse to prosecute someone you don’t like. Best to wait for the heat to die down.

Not the first time I’ve heard something to this effect https://hushkit.net/2019/08/12/mig-29-versus-mirage-2000-personal-account-from-by-air-marshal-harish-masand/ that was a formal evaluation, though the mirage had an older engine, instantaneous turn rate should be much changed. one thing is the mirage 2000 in dcs seems to have similar sea level performance to the Rafale, though I’m not sure if this is reflected in the latest version. Rafale Marine gives a max instantaneous turn rate of 30 degrees (presumably sea level) while pilot Rafale gives max sustained turn rate as 20 degrees (again presumably sea level).

They bought a large number of them. I don’t think they ever had a lot of aim-120c either

Deka might do an Su-39mkk someday in the 90s their was an Su-27m sim under development. Maybe you could track it down http://web.archive.org/web/19991002084308/www.aha.ru/~gland/ https://web.archive.org/web/19990507110941/www.sukhoi.ru/sims/su35.htm

That’s Uboats! That’s exciting.

Not at all a bad idea. This F-16.net post goes into this https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53035 if you send a FOIA they would have to review it. Given the last block 10 let service in the 90s I think you have a reasonable chance. it’s worth pointing out those block 15 charts you see online are not from the block 15 manual but a presentation “the fighter weapons symposium” that particular addition was for the Venezuelan Air Force F-16s in the late 80s. There are various versions of these from the early 80s to 90s and they often pop up in the Fort Worth area thrift stores. So the charts might be in classified supplements but may not themselves be classified.

Too picky, hard to say it’s credible when it never happened. And it creates a strange situation. We could argue during the Detente no one was invading Europe and cut out the late sixties and most of the 70s. Cold War historians actually do separate the early Cold War, Detente, and the “New Cold War” of 1979-1985. That would leave us the early and new Cold War, but one has to ask how realistic either of these would have actually been with the massive nuclear arsenals on both sides, seven days to the Rhine the Warsaw pact war plan from the late 70s starts with a nuclear bombardment of west Germany. then their is the issue is all of this is alternate history any way. We allow for Able archer to be our alternate point but not for example a hardliner taking over in 1985, or the Soviets attempt to stop the 1989 revolutions in force or the Soviets supported Saddam in 1990 or the 1991 coup succeeded and what ever aftermath of what that might be? Hell some might be more interested in doing red storm rises in 1989 rather than able archer in 1983. The Cold War is a cultural era more to the people who are interested in it then a specific event anyone is looking to reenact.

I also don’t think there is any publicly available performance documentation on the small tail F-16. Apparently for the F-16a those were in the classified supplement. Block 15 has tons of charts.

Yea, I kinda flubed not mentioning it was the Su-30, but I assume they should be similar. Also Antidotally on the Chinese internet the J-10a is supposed to be the best dogfighter. No clue if it’s true though.
