I'd pay for a DCS Sopwith Camel
Data for the SE5a is apparently pretty good, also the Fokker D7.
Other WW1 aircraft much less so.

And that's why we still don't have a full fidelity Sopwith Camel!
isn't the GR 9 and Marine harrier quite close in capabilities. As close many other (loadouts makes it close enough)
I think the GR9 could use Amraams (though without air to air radar)
But in air to ground. I think they are quite close.
Quite a bit about the differences in this thread.GR9 with radar and a full a-a loadout would have been very interesting. Damn the bean counters…
GR9 could have supplemented increasing numbers of F35Bs on the QE carriers for some time. Would have given the RN airborne anti shipping capability with Sea Eagle and possible later derivations also.

This map looks awesome! I noticed in the trailer that the AV-8B from RAZBAM is wearing RAF livery - see attached screen grab from the trailer and photo of an RAF Harrier GR9. Is this a hint that RAZBAM Might be bringing the RAF Harrier GR9 to DCS? They have previously developed this variant for other sims. USMC were also using their Harriers in-theatre, so they could have included existing liveries in the trailer and still have been authentic to what was flying in-theatre.
Ron Zambrano when interviewed on the now defunct ACS podcast said Razbam initially intended to model the GR9 and Illustrious. They modeled the USMC version when information on the RAF version made this impossible.
Same goes for the Sea Harrier. Information on UK stuff remains classified for a long time it seems.

Always a sucker for new land to fly over.

It was just random chance that no German fighters were around.
Or probably some German doctrine. Since it doesn't appear any of the bombers attacks were intercepted by German aircraft.
It is odd as there was a Luftwaffe base nearby. I have read various things from fuel shortages, antipathy between the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe leading to poor co-ordination and infiltration of fighter control by Norwegian resistance. Whatever, none of the daylight attacks on the Tirpitz in Norway seem to have faced strong Luftwaffe opposition.

I mean there’s no record of any RN F4U a-a action with the Luftwaffe, at least that I know of, happy to be proved wrong. It wouldn’t be too ahistorical to include it though.

S!
It would be great if ED one day could add more "timeline specific" planes to WW2 module. At the moment some are from later period than D-Day/Normandy, like 109K-4 or 190D-9. Still glad we are seeing iconic planes like F4U or F6F. But again sometimes feels like tossing in a plane here and there without proper "beef on the bone". You could use F6F and F4U in some scenarios even in ETO, basically Norway area. Over mainland? No. WW2 needs love, not all want to play flying nintendos
As I understand it RN and USN F6Fs were used from carriers during Overlord and Dragoon. Theres not much info on RN F6Fs vs the Luftwaffe but the USN F6Fs did engage air targets I believe. So it wouldn’t be completely ahistorical to have an a-a and a-g F6F campaign on the Normandy map, but it would need suitable carriers.
F4F was used by the RN but not over France during the Normandy campaign it seems, unless anyone knows better?

I don’t agree with bob requiring few assets. Map is almost fine, yeah, but no ai matches. We would at least need an early spit, hurricane, emil 109, a Stuka and a dornier 17 or a Heinkel 111 and this would be bare minimum.
I would love med as well, being Italian I would love to see some Italian aircraft in there, the macchi 200, 202 or the sm-79 would be something amazing!
I think less assets to produce credible historical missions would be applicable maybe. There were Italian aircraft in the BoB, and TFC have a very beautiful CR-42
The Mediterranean and Malta is quite large in the British view of WW2 also. It’s just such a large and complex theatre.

Meanwhile, by ED russian forum, ED WW2 team dont move to ETO, meanwhile dont build ETO modules.
Others 3rd parties has move to ETO, as Octopus-g as i-16, La-9 & Po-2. Others 3rd parties has no show ETO modules yet.
Apologies, but I don’t understand.
Should Pacific Theatre Operations (PTO) or Eastern Front (EF) be in there somewhere?

BoB has been done enough and thats coming from an englishman. imo italy and sciliy would be far more interesting
With a few changes we can have the map for Channel 1940. The good thing about the BoB is that you can create credible scenarios with relatively few flyables and AI. The flyables are in the low hanging fruit category regarding references and surviving examples also. You can use the same, near enough, aircraft and for BoF scenarios and Barbarossa.Id love the Med and North Africa. It’s mostly overlooked but is increasingly viewed a very significant theatre for WW2 aviation, particularly for the Luftwaffe. However MTO requires many more aircraft types, ships, carrier ops, and maps we don’t have. PTO is the same and apparently it’s a nightmare for references beyond a handful of US types.

I do wonder if even a medium threat CAS environment is just too hot for aircraft now. You can suppress and destroy long range anti aircraft assets but short and medium range kit firing from an ambush stance is a much more difficult proposition
In Ukraine air defences are being cued onto target by thermal, e/o sensors, remote radars or just someone’s ears, no one with any brains is turning on a radar without a target being detected already by other methods. The F35 is an incredibly loud medium sized dark coloured aircraft with exhausts hot enough to melt steel. The only reliable way to detect a hidden mobile anti aircraft asset is from muzzle flash or missile launch at which time you’re about to be reaching for the ejection handle in a few seconds.
You read online suggestions that the F35 is going to loitering over the battlefield doing CAS and SEAD at the same time, surely it’s too big, hot and boomy for that?

Tempest II not V unfortunately so has the Centaurus up front. Really gives an idea of how large an aircraft the Typhoon/Tempests were. Fabulous aircraft, hopefully it’ll make an appearance on the 2024 UK airshow scene.
Problem with the Typhoon/Tempest V will be the Sabre. Merlin or Centaurus are much more of a known quantity, especially the Merlin. Just having a Sabre engined Hawker as a ground runner would be a start.

And, I always figured that the combat pilot returns home from deployment and whoops out their experimental kit plane on the weekends to fly from the local airfield for fun. That's how I view that CEII in DCS.
At least it’s slightly more believable than owning a TF-51D on government wages…

If your rig is powerful enough to produce high FPS with MSAA 4x, obviously you've got nothing to gain with DLSS.
Aye. “Theres no such thing as a free lunch” comes to mind.

Genuinely don’t understand the desire for a global map…
- Model past, current and potential future conflict zones
-Model them well, with location specific terrain, detail and “character”
It you include the whole world it would prevent the issues surrounding specifically modelling certain modern conflict zones…When you start including aircraft with decent range like the Mosquito, C47 and C130 you need bigger maps to use them properly. Many of the included aircraft have short legs but AAR capability. RAF Eurofighters have just bombed Yemen from Cyprus.

yes agree, that's why writhe the damage model upgrade. Because the AC's have all system realiszicly modelled, but almost never use it for emergency case. I never experienced that I have only minor failure, fuel leaking or hydraulic problem to manage the emergency landing procedures. Nor I had to use the fire extinguisher system for engine fire ,airstart because of engine stall or stops or that I need to make the belly landing due to the landing gear failure.
When I got shot, every time got instant explosion or such failure that I had to eject .
I never used the trim to compensate the instabilities of the damage to reach the nearest airfieldI’ve used the A10s fire system with good effect, I’ve also shut down and re lit the engines in the A10 in flight. The A10 was designed with survivability in mind though.
I can’t really comment about the other aircraft. However I’d imagine when you start throwing chunks of hot metal at an F-16 any hits are likely to be critical. The F-16 is really just a turbofan with wings and a tail attached and a guy strapped to the front.

The whole video is like a movie with real AC. I like to watch it every time .
But what it is disappoint me a lot is that the damage model looks like. Since DCS1.5 isch every jet have a similar visual damage. break 3 pieces and burning like a hell, but the most annoying thing with this that the 2 wingtip which are most of the time not contain any fuel or just some quantity, burning longer and stronger than the whole fuselage where is located the majority of fuel and other burnable stuffs.The second thing the ejection sequences. There is a hyper realistic 3d modell and the whole AC acting like the real one but when the pilot need to escape from in it they get a arcade style ejection . Even the newest modul the F4 has the same .There is no any differences the high speed and low altitude , low speed low altitude, or high speed high altitude and low speed high altitude scenario. not mentioned to eject from the difficult position zero-zero or differences between the types of seats.
every time it just repeat the same scenario, maybe it calculate with the momentum of the seat and some time delay open the parachute and if the pilot has enough room from the ground he survive, in the other case not.
If the dynamic campagn will be introduce sometime. this event will cause a big difference the result of battle.Because it does matter that the pilot survive of the ejection and need to generate a rescue mission to them to pick up and fly another mission later on or lost the pilots and there won't enough remain to fight longer.
Graphics are important but I’d rather see development time allocated to flightsim rather than movie maker features.1 hour ago, MAXsenna said:ED has stated themselves will make both Nam and Korea. No 3rd parties. Best bet OnReTech is making the Balkans. As for ORBX, my guess is they might go south to the Baltics.
Africa seems to be up for grabs...

It’s interesting the existing “soon” Middle Eastern maps, including Caucasus, will almost cover the whole region.-

Not really my bag but it’s great for the sim to see the Mig-29A announced. REDFOR fans have been starved of a more modern full fidelity fixed wing airframe for too long.

RAF T-6 rather than PC-9. Looks good in black though I think.

Hopefully progress on the WW2 stuff. The Mosquito release was 2 years ago last September.
Hopefully confirmation of the DCS Mig 29, although I have my doubts.
Spherical map?
A new product category enabling DCS to include more current airframes but using speculative data and avionics?
