To add to Kappa's superb post, maybe the addition of some AI Helos? NATO Puma, Wessex, Lynx, MB105, UH-1N Twin Huey. Including OPFOR counterparts. That sort of thing... Just my two penneth in support of Helicopter Assault scenarios. It would be nice to see more infantry/personnel additions.

To be fair, if you got on the six of an EEL, you would have to hang on; she had a very respectable turn radius. RIAT 1987 Frightning Display Anyways, that is enough from me regarding the EEL, back to the 104

The EEL from the F.1a through to the F6 enjoyed the ability to AAR, not commonly used on the earlier versions (F.1a to F.3 and T.4). The F.2's and F.2a's were mainly RAF Germany aircraft, and as with the Buccaneers AAR was considered surplus to requirement due to the short durations of flight to targets. The UK based Lightnings did use AAR via H.P. Victors, VC-10K's, etc. The EEL was only limited in time aloft by engine oil capacity and pilot fatigue. There were many 4 hour plus sorties flown by RAF lightnings... The aircraft would be a superb model for DCS despite its challenges. The cockpit is an ergonomic nightmare, and it would certainly be a high workload environment for anyone trying to fly it while staying ahead of the performance envelope. However, unfortunately, it would only appeal to a niche market within the DCS user base. Better chance as a free Mod or perhaps donation based ala Split Air's offerings. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I agree that the overall aesthetics leave something to be desired, especially the F.6... The T.5, in my humble opinion, was the more attractive variant.

Kermit, I could debate your comments regarding the 104G vs Lightning issue, but to be honest, to what end? At the end of the day, they were two completely different aircraft intended for opposite roles, both hopelessly outdated/outmatched in terms of the current DCS aircraft module lineup. Reading your posts, it appears that the lighthearted "tongue in cheek" tone of my post regarding the EEL was lost in translation. Whilst I admit to being a huge fan of the EEL, I am also a huge fan of the Silver Sliver, and I am looking forward to its release in DCS. Peace to you fella.

As Max said...

I think it's safe to say this mod has fallen by the wayside

RF-101C per chance? Excellent!

Thank you for the update, OneEyeRoss. From what I had heard, it was the old chestnut, "We lost all the files, hard drive crash, etc." Hence, the aircraft could not be worked on any further. Good news indeed that there is hope for further development after the Alpha Jet. Vex, I am not a prop person by rule either, but the OV-10 and when it is released, the A-1 Skyraider are superb aircraft with a lot of mission potential within DCS. While pretty and nostalgic, the WWII stuff holds no interest for me either. The Bronco is certainly a rare Gem.

This Mod has BAe Tempest vibes, nice work, and thank you.

Amen!

If you are referring to the undercarriage glitching issue, it is well known, it came in after a patch a while ago. Unfortunately, the Mod is not in development at the moment. This Mod has a HUGE fan base, hopefully the OV-10 might get some love once again in the future.

Hi MrJollyRoger, I have seen this mod. I downloaded it a while back. Opened the box, looked inside, read the instructions, wept uncontrollably as my brain melted, and shoved it into a dark corner of my hard drive It looks wonderful in the screenshots, it really does. Kudos to the creator, but holy Hanna, for an ignoramus such as myself, the instructions are like black magic. Thank you for thinking of posting it here, though.

Again, thank you very much, Rudel. Downloaded, will try as soon I can.

Thank you for the heads up on the 104 fix, Rudel, much appreciated.

Ooofs... I remember that event quite clearly.
