    Personally, I don't follow the argument that more capabilites make a module more attractive. Why do you think the Cold War era has so many fans? If you want a Link 16 connected and AIM-9x firing fighter then pick the F-16 or F-18. To me at least an early F-15A/C would depict that fighter in the era it was most relevant. It would be the first single seated air superiority fighter of the Cold War era in DCS. With all those modern gizmos it would not fit into that context anymore. And yes, I really think that this would sell! The ideal way certainly would be different versions like the F-14.

    Unless you are specifically wanting a Pre MSIP (non AIm120 equipable) F15C. Exactly that! Like I said: I think we need a proper single seated Cold War air superiority fighter depicting the state of its time. And that excludes all the fancy upgrades that came with MSIP-(II) IMHO. BTW, AIM-120 came in 1991. At that time the Cold War was over already. P.S.: And then please add the MiG-29A as an equal opponent!

    I beg to differ. I don’t think that a F-15E minus the CFTs would do the trick. To me that would be just another SPAMRAAM missile truck. To me at least the F-15C is the pinnacle of cold war fighter aircraft. An iconic design of its time. I even would prefer a F-15A or early -C with analogue weapons display. And without AIM-120s of course. At the moment there is no true single seat Cold War air superiority fighter. As much as I love the Tomcat the fiddling with jester is just killing the immersion - although I find it greatly implemented!
  4. SuperKermit
    Yes, hopefully! Same goes for the F-16A!
  5. SuperKermit
    Bad news...
  6. SuperKermit
    That's a pity! F-15A maybe?
  7. SuperKermit
    I really would like to know how that performance comparison would look like with the F-104S with its additional power!
  8. SuperKermit
    Will there be an AIRIO version for Heatblur's upcoming F-4E?
  9. SuperKermit
    I'll put together a more elaborate answer for you tomorrow. @IronMike Would you mind elaborating on the different versions and what the differences between the DCSG/DMAS flavours are? I could not really find a comprehensive explanation on the net. Many thx in advance!

    Did you buy the RX 7800 XT and are you using it with DCS now? Is it possible to max out all settings?
  11. SuperKermit
    I really would like to know as well how the RX 7800XT performs in DCS! But judging the recent MS Flight Simulator Benchmarks it should be quite good!
  12. SuperKermit
    Thx for the clarification! I'll go with the same configuration as soon as the units are available in Europe!
  13. SuperKermit
    Did you connect it to the STEM or does it need a separate USB connection?
  14. SuperKermit
    From https://flightsimcontrols.com/product/stecs-stem-standard-throttle-extension-module/ „Only one STEM can be installed per STECS“

    P.S.: I also saw that video and wondered, how he managed to get that fluent behavior. I tried to use his settings (“virt” in the button setup) but did not get it to work.
  16. SuperKermit
    Well, same with mine. It is not as fluent as an analogue axis, but it is good enough.
  17. SuperKermit
    I do not own the throttle, but I have a NXT Joystick with the encoders at the base. I use one of them as a virtual zoom axis. Wouldn’t that work as well with those on the throttle?
  18. SuperKermit
    Great documents, Ivan! Thanks for bringing them up! I wonder whether these numbers include the usage of flaps. Probably not?
  19. SuperKermit
    Well, if one would have all the E-M data something like that diagram on page 13 should be possible. I also like the depiction of the relative performance on page 10 where the color coding shows the relative gain in energy. But for the 104 data we will probably have to wait for the DCS flight model.
  20. SuperKermit
    Absolutely amazing indeed! Many thanks for the data compilation and clarification, @Smyth! I really would love to see a version with the -19 engine as that version brings the concept to the boil: an aerial hot rod
  21. SuperKermit
    Quite remarkable btw, that the flight manual of such a complex aircraft only has 226 pages. The manual of a C-182T has almost twice the count!
  22. SuperKermit
    How would you judge the 104s vertical capabilities vs the other fighters?
  23. SuperKermit
    That would be roughly over 25k ft when M0.85 starts to become <360 kts.
  24. SuperKermit
    Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely believe that you are approaching that matter neutrally. I just find it quite interesting by how much even “official” documents differ sometimes in their data. Looking forward to that! The F104 and F4 are both equally exciting IMHO!
  25. SuperKermit
    The F-4s maneuverability is impressive indeed! But the F-4 numbers in your charts seem to be a but higher than the ones in the E-M diagram I posted above. How would you explain that? Just the different loadout? BTW, that’s impressive work @Smyth!
