Also we might not even get a reveal soon. If its something thats pending a contract they could already be working on it but not be able to announce it until paper work is signed. Deadlines for that stuff can easily get pushed around for buisness reasons or covid.

Yea, sorry about the lazyness and typos. And interesting aircraft for sure but low on my list.

If someone could do a southeast asia livery for the viggen that would be awesome. It works as a great stand in for a F-105.

Agreed

While I agree this is overhyped I don't get why you're sticking a finger in EDs eye. They've said they're trying to mKe a 29. I believe them when they say Russian companies and government and difficult to work with. I just don't see the point f insulting and trying to goad ED into making one by mentioning another sim.

I thought it was big newy or nineline who originally said it? Well regardless, what I perceive as EDs own hype for it has me convinced its going to be something very new.

I like shooting stuff but I like not shooting stuff too. DCS is such a better platform for systems and flightmodels that I wish they'd target the xplane/fs2020 crowd more. Instead of saying "we're not making that plane because you can fly it better elsewhere". DCS is the best place to fly anything. Im excited or the Mossie though because its kinda a step in thay direction.

Russian yes, but new... No. Oh no no no. I like the 50s-80s. My Absurd wishlist aircraft include the F-106 and F-94. I would be much happier with a F-111 than what I think we're going to end up with.

Yea, I didn't see anything for it in the patch notes?

I think you're letting wishful thinking get in the way. I've never seen them say its not new. If you can link me to that I'd appreciate it, but if its been lost in the mess of the forums I understand. But I see mind melting in EDs context as something they never thought they'd be allowed to do. Which is either semi modern russian, which they've said it isn't. Or very new western.

Also its not the F-111 because they've said they won't do a Tornado. The Tornado has a ton of people clamoring for it and it would probably be way more profitable but they don't want to deal with its multicrew. And for some reason they've stated side by side multicrew is harder than for and aft. See working multi crew in L-39, Yak-52, C-101,F-14 and even the Christian Eagle. And then failed multicrew in gazelle and still waiting on multicrew in the Huey.

Gripen, Rafale, or a newer 16/18/15 variant. They said they wont do a tornado. Maybe even one of the export customers asked them to do an F-35. I really hope I'm wrong. But there's nothing mind melting about an F-111. F-117 is old tech today. The Apache COULD qualify but they've said its not it. Smart money would be on they're at the fimal stages of securing a contract to make a module for a military contract and its going to be the most modern plane we've seen yet. Aside from WWII, ask yourself which aircraft they get most excited about?

When did they say it wasn't new? I thought it was supposed to be the most technologicaly advanced module yet?

So if you want to figure it out think like ED. What aircraft make them the most money? Modern blufor multirole fighters. What aircraft do they seem to like the most? Modern blufor multirole fighters. It's not the F-111. Id be convinced it was the Typhoon if a third party wasn't working on it. What would THEY think is mind melting? Gen 4.5 or maybe even a Gen 5 fighter.

I know everyone has their pet plane they want. But I just don't see the added capabilities being worth doing a new module.

It would be weird not having a Christmas module.

Someone get Baltic Dragon on it!

I'd love to read inti what this could mean but I have no idea haha.

I really look forward to multicrew for giving instruction to squad members.

It's going to be another boring Jdam/amraam truck.

If it was coming for Christmas you'd think we'd be seeing more of it by now.

I think the Viggen makes a good stand in for the F-105 in my missions. Would anyone be willing to make a "southeast asia" inspired skin for it? I don't have any specific request for markings or if it would be directly inspired by the 105, I leave that up to anyone willing to take it on. And the F-111 request in the thread below would work fine but that hasn't seen progress. But if anyone could make this happen I would be grateful!

Well mag3 showed a pretty detailed "ai" zero model they were working on which made me think it would be their next. But O was pretty sure when asked what the next WWII plane would be after the Mosquito he said "Japanese" but I'll have to go watch it again.

He said what he said man, maybe he mispoke and just said the Japanese carrier that was most memorable to him. Regardless ED said we're getting a Japanese carrier and plane. Smart money would be on a Zero.

Its been hinted at but try not to get your hopes up too much. I thought they wouldn't be back to DCS either but hopefully we get lucky!
