    What capabilities should we expect from the F-104?

    You have more faith than I do! Your point is well made, and stands. Thank you. It is too early to tell. All the best,

    Where did you get 'Razbam has dissolved' from? They are currently involved in an acrimonious dispute with ED, leading to their modules being withdrawn from sale, but as far as I'm aware, they are still in business.

    Sorry for my bad english - I mean "removed from DCS" (the programmers have stated publicly they will never work on DCS again...)

    Now that Razbam has dissolved - what are the chances of an Aerges Mirage III after the F-104? 

    Personally I would love to see the Mirage III C, D, and E variants.

    [Bug] Jester calls out "lost cabin pressure"

    only happens when you hotstart in-air at a specific altitude range

    this happens to me after cold start on the deck. It's not just a hot start in the air thing. If I am diving after a bandit, Jester calls out that we have lost cabin pressure repeatedly. This is even after the latest hotfix. Just FYI it's NOT only hotstart in air at specific alt range

    Thanks @NineLine. Is there any response to the fact that 3d models can be ripped straight from the GPU when running DCS? If this has not been shared, I think it would be helpful for leadership to understand. If this is a security issue, we do not believe that locking down the models in the model viewer actually resolves your security issue. Thanks again for sharing our concerns. 👍

    Add AIM9L to F-5E Tiger II inventory

    在 DCS: F-5E

    发布于

    Sure thing, here is the quote

    Here is a Swiss F-5E evaluating 4x Sidewinders

    Yes, the F-5E could and was shipped from factory with the ability to air refuel. Some operators chose not to buy this, and so the switches were not included for example. Same with the JATO for example - you can see the mounting lugs for 4x JATO bottles on the F-5E remastered version, but the switch is not in the cockpit. That is ok, because the Swiss did not use JATO bottles. But this is a good example - the Jet is capable, it was designed to use it, it just depends on whether the operator paid for the feature. Mavericks as well - this was a factory feature sold to the Saudi's - not added-in after-the-fact. This is a common misconception. 

    There is a very common misconception that these features were always "bolted on" after the sale. This is true sometimes, as in the Brazilian F-5's. However, it is not true for other export F-5's. Again, the example of the Saudi F-5's is pertinent here - they shipped from the factory with the right display, armament panels, and fuel panels to run AGM-65, Fuel probe, and JATO.

    I'd love to read more about the Saudi F-5Es, but those upgrades were done after those Es were in active duty.

    No. It was not always done after-the-fact. See above. As part of the Peace Hawk sale, "These two aircraft (F-SEs) [...] were delivered from production in December 1976" with the upgrades. Again - the point which I am trying very hard to make perfectly clear is that Northrop was able to and did deliver F-5's with all of the "features" directly from production. This is just one example.

    Likely is my personal #1 wish is for the F-5 module to have a expansion pack for many of these variants.
    I still can't fault ED to make the bare bone 5E which is used in Red Flag and you never see an AAR probe in them, for example.

    Having said that, I dislike any resistance to make the other variants available either, even if that means a paid expansion pack to pair the price with other more complex modules to reward the work done on the new integrations.

    Happy flying out there.

    I would be happy to pay for an upgrade that includes Mavs and a probe for example. 

    I can't fault Belsimtek for making a barebones USAF Red Flag Jet. I can be disappointed that ED decided to model an F-5N, call it an F-5E, lie about "re-building the cockpit from scratch", missing the dual radios and INS due to "lack of data" (even though I provided data in the wishlist) deleting my posts  when they went viral on reddit, and then re-instating them after telling me to include a link to my source (my bad). lol!

    Why isn't the module called F-5N instead?

    Like you, I have wondered this and I have asked, and have not been answered in these forums. However, we have a direct quote from Wags stating that as of the re-master, this is now the F-5 that was purchased by the US Navy in 2006. Meaning, it is no longer an F-5E-3 operated by the USAF. In fact, all references to F-5E **3** have been removed from the store page of both the original and remastered module. 

    Swiss F-5's did carry Sidewinders under the wings, although never operationally. Hence the request from abitar above. 

    I personally would have preferred an F-5E that best represents the default capabilities that Northrop designed and shipped from factory, like the refueling probe, mavericks, INS, dual radios, etc. Despite some prevailing mis-understanding on the internet, Northrop engineered the F-5E for export with these functions. It's just that some operators did not purchase the whole package. The best representation of an F-5E as designed by Northrop is the F-5E sold to the Saudi's. It included the removable fuel probe, INS, mavericks, JATO, and even AGM-45 Shrike capability.

    The variant we have in DCS didn't carry missiles under the wing. Only overhauled variants did. This discussion comes and goes since the module released.

    We have a US Navy F-5N purchased bac from the Swiss in 2006 in DCS, according to Wags, which did/does carry the AIM-9L/M.

    They could just create an upgrade path, and re-bundle it with the re-master. 

    So Remaster + Upgrade is now $30 (basically a new module at this point)

    If you already bought the remaster, the upgrade is $10. Something like that. 

    I would be ok with that, I want the F-5E with everything Northrop shipped from factory. We don't want the specific air interceptor version we sold to the Swiss... which is missing the capabilities that Northrop designed and built and sold into the F-5E

    It's like if Heatblur decided to make the F-4A instead of the F-4E. Why the heck would we want that one specific model that was rarely used? We would want the -E in comparison because it has more capability and better represents the capability of the airplane and was more widely used. 

    The Saudi F-5E was used in the Gulf War - it's the version that was actually used on the maps that we have.

    If the F-5E was modernized to carry 2 more air to air missiles in the upgraded DCS version (add $5-$10 more for the effort), I would think ED would cash in on the sales…I would jump all over that. 

    Honestly, me too.

    • Mavericks
    • Detachable Probe 
    • 4x Sidewinders
    • INS 

    These things would be worth an upgrade (not just a remaster).
    BTW - all of these were part of export F-5E's. The Saudi F-5E's had all four and AGM-45 SHRIKE capability in DIRECT mode.

    Its up in the air. This isnt a secret we are somehow trying to hide from you. The module is so far in the future that there was no reason to decide and commit on this yet. Sometimes things just are that simple 🙂

    No one is accusing you of keeping a secret, it's all chill here! We are all super excited to hear that the NAVY Phantom is still planned and that you have begun prep work 🚀
