Ghost33

Update from Redkite

We will only have the Spanish variants in the module. My guess is that they'll include other countries liveries with 3D components to replicate other versions (similar to what they did with the C101). But we will see, the other liveries we saw may be AI only too.

From what we’ve seen we should get liveries from Spain, France, Irak and Qatar.

Awesome, do you have a link where I can order it ? And yes, as far as I know, the F1 used different systems. This is why I precised F1 in the title. It is not in service anymore and different from the current ones. Making it possible to bring to DCS imho.

I agree with you for the necessary input of French Rafale pilots with if possible close relations to Dassault. Regarding the AdA, they have a partnership with Razbam, a South American company if I’m not mistaken, for the M2000C. Offering Razbam lots of infos and data on the real jet, making it one of the most realistic module lately. And despite being old, the jet is still in service as of today, retiring later this year. So they might not be not as closed to the idea as we think

Thanks for all this info F-2 ! i am being optimistic and hope we'll see it in the sim one day. I think there is a good chance it might happen if DCS players want it and a big dev (ED, HB or Razbam) wants to do it !

Let me start with some context: - We now have all the modern US jet we could possibly have in DCS with the AV8B, F14, F16, F/A-18 and the F15E coming this year. - US naval aviation is well represented in the game with the AV8B, F14 and F/A-18 and the incoming F4, F8, A6, and A7 modules. There is now a need to explore new horizons for modern jets, which Heatblur and TrueGrit are inaugurating with the Typhoon, a future module who's already getting a lot of attention from the DCS players. Naval Aviation is awesome and cannot be only represented by US jets, I think other non-US carrier capable aircrafts would get a lot of attention from the DCS players as well. This is why the Rafale M seems like an obvious choice as it answers these two needs ! The F1 standard with air-to-air only capacities and PESA radar is comparable to the Typhoon we should be getting in the game in terms of mordernity/classification. Heatblur/Truegrit is showing us it is possible to bring such a jet in DCS. So why not a Rafale ?

From what I understand we will get the F4E Phantom this year, then the Typhoon, then the second Phantom module (naval variants) and finally the A6.

What are the issues that can occur ? I started to play with human rio and we faced some issues, not sure if it is on our side or some bugs from de-sync or something ? I'm not sure about the time travel capacities of the Typhoon but the Lutwaffe tranche 2 and 3 got the Meteor integrated this year. My understanding is that we'll get a mix of German Tranche 1 & 2 so it's not a nonsense to have the Meteor coming with it.
