What we really need is the entire 1960-1990 US Navy "combat" arsenal (those planes that are involved in the shootin of stuff :thumbup:). Basically, Vietnam-Gulf war 1 F-4, F-5, F-8, F-14, F-18, Super Hornet?? (not from period but, comeon, you know you want it) A-1, A-4, A-6, A-7 E-2, EA-6B

Who would be interested in an Su-34? Thinking about it, and Su-34, either complex or FC3 style, would be a pretty fun module to have along with the Multi-Crew capabilities of 1.5/2.0. It would probably be similar to create in terms of flight modeling as the Su-27/33, albeit a little more sluggish. What do you guys think? Would you guys want a multicrew Su-34? Frisco1522

Just a thought, could you use the flares in the MiG-15 to counter an AIM-9 being fired at you? I did some testing and they don't seem to help, and my guess is that the signal flares don't burn nearly hot enough. :smartass: Since you guys probably know more, what do you think? Frisco1522

Anyone be interested in an F-8? Back me up on this... Frisco1522

... :music_whistling: God damn it. Frisco1522

A little google search turns up NAS6306-10 The closest I can find is NAS6306-28D which is for a Bombardier Challenger 601. Can't find where the exact part is from. Frisco1522

Oh boy, smells like we need a poll! Frisco1522

Oh boy this is the fun question! :smartass: First off, here is a list of all the Squadrons who posessed Tomcats. (from www.anft.net squadron page) This means that anything on the list is already taken and probably cannot/should not be used. When I make a decision for something like this, I like to combine elements together (Easter eggs, let's call them) to create something new, but still stiff and clear of its heritage/origin. Here are some of my Squadron Name ideas VF-847 "The Cobras" This idea should seem obvious, because of Cobra's name on the forums being Cobra847, us seeming to have a parallel between Cobra and Leatherneck sims since he does most of the posting, and it shocked me to learn that there wasn't already a squadron called the Cobras, because its an awesome name and I really like it. VF-18 "The Griffins" The 8 symbolizes that there are 8 members of Leatherneck, and that they are (MY OPINION) #1 among the 3rd party devs, for F-14 reasons. The Griffin part comes from (what I believe to be (and I am almost certain I am entirely wrong)) the town of Świnoujście which I believe is where Leatherneck is mainly based at. Świnoujście's flag/coat of arms consists of a Griffin holding an Anchor, which seem perfect to me for an F-14 squadron. VF-54 "The Fleet Defenders" The 54 represents the AIM-54 Phoenix missile, which was used (along with the F-14) by the Navy as its main defense against high altitude Soviet bombers and cruise missiles. The fleet defenders part, you should be able to figure that one out. :P VF-303 "The Turkeys" The 303 represents Grumman's model 303 for the VFX program, which was the winning design in the VFX program and was later refined and built into the F-14A we know today. The turkeys comes from the name of an F-14 when it is approaching the carrier and the pilot is making adjustments to the flight path of the aircraft in order to land on the carrier safely. This sorta shows the reason I might try to make some sort of rough sketches of the logo/shield designs, but I am no artist and such a task should probably be left to someone more artistically inclined than myself. Hope this helps get the ball rolling! Frisco1522 P.S. What about the idea of being a land based Iranian F-14 squadron? Get to play as redfor, fight F-15s/other F-14s. Would probably stand out from the other squadrons. P.P.S. This is my 100th post! Woo!

Let me guess, you were looking for more black lions and 213s everywhere? :music_whistling: Frisco1522

I was loosing it at lambs and died laughing from the "baa"ing :megalol: Frisco1522

A little on the early side for a happy new year, but since Christmas trees are already going up, I will let this one slide! :megalol: Frisco1522

Very important! Frisco1522

Right on! Just the sort of thing I was looking for. I had an idea for an F-14 squadron a little while ago and was looking for others to get one started. I want everything you are describing. (Well trained, Multi-crew, no Lone-Wolfing ("Never Leave your wing man!")) Also, with the idea of getting the planes repainted, does that mean we get our own names and kill decals under the canopy? Because that would be awesome! :thumbup: And Cobra said that we COULD get the option to change our helmet skins in the future. That would be cool. I also had an idea for if we had a squadron, to include the F-18, and F-5 (if they are ever actually released) and use them for some DACT. BlackLion213 can back me up on this. Frisco1522

+1 But maybe just a tiny somethin... Frisco1522

Yeah man, we need lots of F-14 love around here. Frisco1522

+1 all I need is Cobra to say "Here is a screenshot..." Just once. Frisco1522

And she was still chugging along at 60 fps. Felt it slow down, but she kept up! Nicely done EDGE! Frisco1522

I mean, it seems like something that should not be happening...right? By this I mean when I am flying, for example my F-15, and I jettison my stores, all the missiles tumble end over end. Wouldn't they dive like an arrow? I mean, they do that after they are fired and burn out their motors... The bombs dive straight... What do you guys think? :book::smartass: :helpsmilie: Frisco1522

Its hard to fathom how big of an impact ED has on the flight sim community as a whole. They have pushed the standards of realism to an almost insane level, well beyond anything anyone else has ever attempted before. The possibilities in DCS World, especially now that we get to see what EDGE look and feel like, are almost endless from here on out. One of the key features of DCS World that was holding ED back, were the graphics and performance. Thanks to EDGE, DCS World easily enters (and probably even claims the top spot) the class of the highest fidelity flight sims. I created an image comparison to help illustrate this. *WARNING* OPINION IMMINENT *WARNING* See? Nowhere close to EDGE level. And then there is the Elephant in the room, the cockpits. Arguably the best part of DCS is that you can flight aircraft, in a beautiful simulator, that allows you FULL ACCESS to EVERY PART OF THE AIRCRAFT. Every switch, button, knob, gauge, everything. Take the A-10C for example. Who else has a 1,000+ page manual for a vehicle in a simulator? Who else takes the time to meticulously model every detail and integration for systems not only for the casual game play, but also integrate these systems to fail correctly in the event of damage? This stuff is what makes DCS so awesome. Sure it's not always perfect, but it is damn close. Thank you ED. You guys have created something so beautiful, that its legacy will almost certainly never die or be surpassed, and one who's legacy is still young and growing. (:joystick::pilotfly::smartass::book::cry: :thumbup::megalol:) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ All of us ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Frisco1522

Dat guy speaks the truth... +1 Frisco1522

I've got some more... Frisco1522

Frisco1522

Im with yah. Frisco1522

Get your pitchforks and torches ready... Frisco1522

I also have a dream that once this sim is out, I will try my hardest at making a home cockpit for it. I've never done it before, but it looks like a lot of fun and work to build one. Gonna be awhile in the future though...but worth it! :thumbsup: And I want a front seat and a back seat so I could have friends over. Frisco1522
