ED are making a flight simulator not defending a criminal charge in court. Honestly the self importance in here is off the charts.

To confirm my opinion that I’m looking forward to this I asked myself as a C172 pilot that’s earmarked for an upgrade to a C182 if I thought this was a good choice for a DCS module. I said that it was a good choice because I will never get to fly one in real life and it would be great to have a sim of one that is as good as ED can make it. Thank you.

Why does a module have to be 100% authentic or DCS becomes War Thunder? Seems a ridiculous statement. When Falcon first appeared on the Amiga I don't recall anyone thinking it was an arcade game? Even though the systems and realism of the F16 were not entirely there it did NOT turn Falcon into an arcade game. Neither will this F35 turn DCS into an arcade game.

No, you prove it! Lord, give me a break. Its a game folks. Im out

First off, you have no idea what I do. If you are a real military pilot you don't need to get your knickers in a twist over a simulated F35 in a game right?

Lol. 'Those of us who know' Anybody posting here in a niche forum for a niche game is fully aware. Do you really believe ANY of the modules are fully accurate? I don't for one minute. Then again, I also don't pretend to be a real fighter pilot just because I play DCS. In fact, there are many armchair pilots on this forum that think they know MORE than the guys that actually fly (or used to) combat aircraft in real life. Its laughable.

Electronic Warfare is barely modelled in DCS now. They will just make the RCS of the F35 smaller in the game. Bottom line, if you dont like it or its not modelled to your liking, don't buy it. Its that simple. Man, I remember it was much easier when we had vector graphics and playing F19, Falcon or Fighter Bomber on the Amiga. You got what you got and you were happy. Now its just a bunch of moaners and armchair 'experts' and 'lawyers'

Hornet, A10 - they got the actual sounds. Boeing even helped with the Hornet. They clearly have all the permissions and project plan lined up. Why don't you just do them a favour and let them show what they can do? Ding, ding, we have a winner!

So not taking that bet then? Let me know when the FBI show up at the ED office as you seem to know more than the rest of us.

They aren't risking anything. This has been discussed for over 2 years internally. They have their reasons. Armchair lawyers not required. if you are right, the FBI will be lining up a raid forthwith and DCS / ED will be out of business. What time frame would you like to put on it? I'm willing to make that bet with you that nothing happens because ED have already done diligence on this. Perhaps the FBI are coming for IndiaFoxtEcho too?

Lol, like that is any of your business. They know what they are doing from a legal perspective. Do you really believe that they would risk anything of that magnitude?

My opinion doesn't matter. Its what ED releases to the sim. I get what they decide is good enough and then I choose to buy or not buy. Its the same for you. The reality is that this module will come in an EA state and will be worked on for years like the Hornet and others. It will also bring many module sales which are needed to keep this sim moving forward. I can guarantee that the number of moaners on here will be far outweighed by the people who are excited for this release. It will also bring in new players (and new $$)

If ED think it’s doable to DCS standards then it’s good enough for me. Some of the pontificating on this thread is outrageous and way out of order. DCS has come so far and I could only have dreamed about such fidelity and graphics when I started on C64 and Amiga sims. How about we just give these guys a chance to deliver? If you don’t like the final product when it comes out, don’t buy it but please stop being absolute killjoys to the entire project.

How do we know ED haven’t been asked to get involved with creating a procedural sim like they did with the A-10? They have contacts at Lockheed Martin I think? They may have more access to information than they are allowed to divulge at the present time.

You would think he would more than likely be.
